sensitivity for diagnosing unstable angina, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), or ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with high positive and negative predictive values, making it a valuable tool for ruling out ACS in patients with inconclusive diagnoses in the emergency department...
The first of these, Cangrelor versus Standard Therapy to Achieve Optimal Management of Platelet Inhibition (CHAMPION) PLATFORM trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial that evaluated 5301 patients with unstable angina or NSTEMI undergoing PCI with or without stent implantation. ...
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) stands as the foremost cause of mortality worldwide1,2. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), comprising unstable angina, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), manifests as a cluster of ...
cath lab. “You need to know your own geographic reality,” he added. “If there's going to be a time delay to get to the cath lab, you should be getting the antiplatelet drug on board as soon as possible.” This strategy is valid for patients with NSTEMI as well, Angiolillo said....
(ACS). It covers a range of conditions associated with sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. The syndrome also includes conditions such as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) (10). The underlying mechanism usually involves the rupture of an ...
Elevation of cardiac troponin (cTn) directly affects adequate timing of invasive management in patients with acute coronary syndromes without persistent ST-segment elevation (NSTE-ACS), distinguishing between myocardial infarction (MI) without persistent ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) and unstable angina pec...
ACS: Acute coronary syndromes PCI: Percutaneous coronary intervention miRNAs: MicroRNAs MACE: Major adverse cardiovascular events MI: Myocardial infarction SA: Stable angina STEMI: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction NSTEMI: Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction UA: Unstable angina...
Stress hyperglycaemia has been reported to be a significant predictor of poor prognosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients in general and acute myocardial patients in particular [23,30,31,32]. Stress hyperglycaemia has not only been established as a significant indicator of the severity of ...
Patients in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction (NRMI), version 5, were categorized in 2 ways: by electrocardiographic (ECG) findings and ICD-9 codes. Agreement between ECG findings and ICD-9 codes for type of myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI) was assessed before and after ...
Abbreviations: PCI, Percutaneous coronary intervention; HDL-C, High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MI, Myocardial infraction; STEMI, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; NSTEMI, Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; MACCE, Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events; RCS, Restricted ...
