a heart attack caused by a complete blockage of a coronary artery, indicated by ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG), is new-onset left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which significantly increases the risks of sudden death and heart failure (HF), a condition where the heart canno...
Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)'s growing incidence and the substantial long-term mortality connected with it signify a dire clinical need for intervention. This pathology's potential treatments are hindered by the lack of a repeatable preclinical model for testing interventions....
The in-hospital mortality of patients admitted with NSTEMI during off-hours was similar to that of patients admitted during regular hours. Time of admission may not be a risk factor for increased in-hospital mortality. A number of studies have shown that patients with acute myocardial infarction ...
Studies in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable coronary artery disease (CAD) or ACS (both non–ST elevation MI [NSTEMI] and STEMI) had reduced major adverse cardiovascular events and infarct size with a loading dose of 600 mg, driven primarily by a decrease ...

Mortality in our environment is significantly impacted by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which was formerly perceived to be primarily localized within the lungs. The most up-to-date investigations point to a systemic condition with a probable etiopathogenesis of sustained, low-grade ...
“It prompts conversations with other doctors, especially if this is a young GP. In doing so they build up an evidence base to back up their original instinct.” The team’s hope is that this study will prompt more research into the role of gut feeling. At present, many GPs do not ha...
The first report published to describe the situation of chronic Se deficiency in a northwestern province of China was about 80 years ago. The patient had rapid progressive cardiomyopathy, which leads to extensive fibrosis and degenerative changes, a condition called Keshan disease (KD) in China [6...

The treatment of chronic stable angina is very different from that of unstable angina. As a part of the acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina is treated as an emergency. The treatment of this condition is not covered by this article. ...
