Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) itself may give rise to hyperglycemia due to catecholamine-induced stress [1]. Stress hyperglycemia ratio, which is divided admission blood glucose (ABG) measurement by HbA1c, is a novel biomarker of acute hyperglycemic state [6]. SHR has been shown to be signific...
If an emergency call prompted suspicion of stroke, both a conventional ambulance and an MSU, when available, were dispatched. Functional outcomes of patients with final diagnosis of acute cerebral ischemia who were eligible for thrombolysis or thrombectomy were compared based on the initial dispatch (...
The UKB study was approved by the North West Multi-Center Research Ethics Committee, and all participants provided written informed consent to participate in the UKB study. Post-AMI HF includes HF and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). HF was defined using the ICD-10 code I50. ...
Acquired QT prolongation can be secondary to ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, intracranial processes including anoxic brain injury, cardioversion, medications, or temperature, all of which decrease the specificity for a diagnosis of LQTS (16). If reversible causes of QT prolongation are not present or...
Blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio: a novel mortality indicator in intensive care unit patients with coronary heart disease Introduction Acute myocardial infarction(AMI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, characterized by myocardial ischemia and injury due to various underly...
ACS refers to a group of symptoms attributed to coronary artery obstruction. The syndrome usually occurs as a result of ST elevation MI, non-ST elevation MI, or unstable angina. Acute coronary ischemia is usually initiated by atherosclerotic plaque rupture, leading to intracoronary thrombosis and oc...
The term acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to any group of clinical symptoms compatible with acute myocardial ischemia and includes unstable angina (UA), non—ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). These high-risk manifestations ...
Correction: Acute Administration of n-3 Rich Triglyceride Emulsions Provides Cardioprotection in Murine Models after Ischemia-Reperfusion.doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0133546EBSCO_AspPlos One
However, the kidney response to the injury during pregnancy has not been addressed. We investigated the mechanisms of the pregnancy influence on AKI. During pregnancy, the kidneys were shown to be more tolerant to AKI. Pregnant animals showed remarkable preservation of kidney functions after ischemia...
Diagnosing AKI in septic patients can be challenging due to reducedmuscle perfusion, decreased creatinine production, a gradual rise in serum creatinine levels, and concurrent use ofdiureticsandfluid resuscitation, which limits the applicability of serum creatinine or urine output for early SA-AKI detect...
