Background
Recurrent ST-segment elevations in acute coronary syndromes have been attributed to coronary cyclic flow variations (CCFVs) possibly due to coronary vasospasm and unstable platelet aggregation in partially occluded arteries.Methods
We describe the case of a patient with an acute myocardial infarction, recurrent ST-segment elevations and diffuse disease of the left anterior descending artery.Results
The post-angiography 12-lead continuous ECG monitoring revealed cyclic anterior ST-segment elevations that were completely abolished with continuous intravenous infusion of low-dose isosorbide-dinitrate.Conclusion
The complete and sustained response to low-dose nitrate suggests that vasoconstriction plays a crucial role to provoke CCFVs. This case underlines the importance of continuous 12-lead ECG monitoring with ST-segment trend analysis in the CCU. 相似文献2.

Background and purpose
We aimed to study the prevalence of acute cardiac disorders in patients with suspected ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-significant coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods
From January to October 2012 we consecutively included patients admitted with suspected STEMI and non-significant CAD (coronary artery stenosis diameter < 50%). Patients were diagnosed with acute cardiac disorder in the presence of elevated cardiac biomarkers (troponin T > 50 ng/l or creatine kinase MB > 4 μg/l) or dynamic ECG changes (ST-segment changes or T-wave inversion).Results
Of the 871 patients admitted with suspected STEMI, 11% (n = 95) had non-significant CAD. Of these, 67% (n = 64) had elevated cardiac biomarkers or dynamic ECG changes and were accordingly diagnosed with acute cardiac disorders. In the remaining 33% (n = 31) of patients, cardiac biomarkers were normal and ECG changes remained stationary.Conclusions
Acute cardiac disorders were diagnosed in two thirds of patients with suspected STEMI and non-significant CAD. 相似文献3.

Objectives
We evaluated inter-reader agreement of the ST-segment between two electrocardiogram (ECG) core laboratories.Background
Accurate measurement of the ST-segment is key to diagnosis and management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Clinical trials also rely on adherence to the pre-specified ECG eligibility criteria.Methods
150 patients (100 ST-segment elevation (STE)-ACS, 50 non-STE-ACS) were selected. An experienced ECG reader from each laboratory measured ST-segment deviation on the baseline ECGs (nearest 0.1 mm).Results
∑ ST-segment deviation showed excellent inter-reader agreement (R = 0.965, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.949, 95% CI (0.930–0.963)). Similar agreement was observed when ∑ ST-segment elevation (∑ STE) and ∑ ST-segment depression (∑ STD) were assessed separately. Better agreement was evident in STE-ACS cohort (ICC (95% CI): 0.968 (0.953–0.978, 0.969 (0.954–0.979), 0.931 (0.899–0.953)) compared to NSTE-ACS patients (ICC (95% CI): 0.860 (0.768–0.917), 0.816 (0.699–0.890), 0.753 (0.605–0.851) across measurement of ∑ ST-segment deviation, ∑ STE, and ∑ STD.Conclusions
We demonstrated excellent agreement on ST-segment measurements between two experienced readers from two ECG core laboratories. 相似文献4.

Background
Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) is a promising method for risk assessment of patients with acute chest pain. However, its diagnostic performance in higher-risk patients has not been investigated in a large international multicenter trial. Therefore, in the present study we sought to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of MDCTA to detect significant coronary stenosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods
Patients included in the CORE64 study were categorized as suspected-ACS or non-ACS based on clinical data. A 64-row coronary MDCTA was performed before invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and both exams were evaluated by blinded, independent core laboratories.Results
From 371 patients included, 94 were categorized as suspected ACS and 277 as non-ACS. Patient-based analysis showed an area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC) for detecting ≥ 50% coronary stenosis of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.88–0.98) in ACS and 0.92 (95% CI: 0.88–0.95) in non-ACS group (P = 0.29). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of MDCTA were 0.90(0.80–0.96), 0.88(0.70–0.98), 0.95(0.87–0.99) and 0.77(0.58–0.90) in suspected ACS patients and 0.87(0.81–0.92), 0.86(0.79–0.92), 0.91(0.85–0.95) and 0.82(0.74–0.89) in non-ACS patients (P NS for all comparisons). The mean calcium scores (CS) were 282 ± 449 in suspected ACS and 435 ± 668 in non-ACS group. The accuracy of CS to detect significant coronary stenosis was only moderate and the absence or minimal coronary artery calcification could not exclude the presence of significant coronary stenosis, particularly in ACS patients.Conclusions
The diagnostic accuracy of MDCTA to detect significant coronary stenosis is high and comparable for both ACS and non-ACS patients. 相似文献5.

The authors sought to assess the incidence, predictors, management, and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following TAVR.Background
About one-half of the patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have concurrent coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the occurrence and clinical impact of coronary events following TAVR remain largely unknown.Methods
Consecutive patients undergoing TAVR in our institution between May 2007 and November 2017 were included. Patients were followed at 1, 6, and 12 months, and yearly thereafter. ACS was diagnosed and classified according to the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.Results
A total of 779 patients (mean age 79 ± 9 years, 52% male, mean STS: 6.8 ± 5.1%) were included, 68% of which had a history of CAD. At a median follow-up of 25 (interquartile range: 10 to 44) months, 78 patients (10%) presented at least 1 episode of ACS, with one-half of the events occurring within the year following TAVR. Clinical presentation was type 2 non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (35.9%), unstable angina (34.6%), type 1 non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (28.2%), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (1.3%). Male sex (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.19; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36 to 3.54; p = 0.001), prior CAD (HR: 2.78; 95% CI: 1.50 to 5.18; p = 0.001), and nontransfemoral approach (HR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.75; p = 0.035) were independently associated with ACS. Coronary angiography was performed in 53 (67.9%) patients with ACS, and 30 of them (56.6%) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. In-hospital death rate at the time of the ACS episode was 3.8%. At a median follow-up of 21 (interquartile range: 8 to 34) months post-ACS, all-cause and cardiovascular death rates were 37.3% and 25.3%, respectively.Conclusions
Approximately one-tenth of patients undergoing TAVR were readmitted for an ACS after a median follow-up of 25 months. Male sex, prior CAD, and nontransfemoral approach were independent predictors of ACS. ACS was associated with high midterm mortality. 相似文献6.

Objective
Chemerin is a recently identified adipocytokine that has been positively correlated with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, no studies have examined circulating chemerin levels as a predictor of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether chemerin levels predict the onset of ACS.Materials/Methods
We studied 90 men whose serum had been collected at least 2 years before the development of ACS, and 162 controls matched with the cases in a 1:2 fashion for age and year of collection. The mean age of the cohort was 66.3 ± 9.6 years (range 34–84 years). Serum chemerin levels were measured with a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
Age was positively associated with chemerin levels (r = 0.39, p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis, adjusting for years since blood collection, demonstrated a null association between chemerin levels and the odds ratio for development of ACS (OR: 0.99, 95% CI [0.99–1.001]). This association remained null after adjusting for age (OR: 0.99 95% CI [0.99–1.001]).Conclusions
Although cross-sectional and case–control studies suggest a positive association between chemerin levels and CAD, we demonstrate that chemerin levels do not predict the development of ACS. 相似文献7.

Objective
To examine the association between elevated leukocyte count and hospital mortality and heart failure in patients enrolled in the multinational, observational Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE).Background
Elevated leukocyte count is associated with adverse hospital outcomes in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The association of this prognostic factor with hospital mortality and heart failure in patients with other acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is unclear.Methods
We examined the association between admission leukocyte count and hospital mortality and heart failure in 8269 patients presenting with an ACS. This association was examined separately in patients with ST-segment elevation AMI, non-ST-segment elevation AMI, and unstable angina. Leukocyte count was divided into 4 mutually exclusive groups (Q): Q1 <6000, Q2 = 6000-9999, Q3 = 10,000-11,999, Q4 >12,000. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between elevated leukocyte count and hospital events while accounting for the simultaneous effect of several potentially confounding variables.Results
Increasing leukocyte count was significantly associated with hospital death (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.8, 95% CI 2.1-3.6 for Q4 compared to Q2 [normal range]) and heart failure (OR 2.7, 95% CI 2.2-3.4) for patients presenting with ACS. This association was seen in patients with ST-segment elevation AMI (OR for hospital death 3.2, 95% CI 2.1-4.7; OR for heart failure 2.4, 95% CI 1.8-3.3), non-ST-segment elevation AMI (OR for hospital death 1.9, 95% CI 1.2-3.0; OR for heart failure 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.5), or unstable angina (OR for hospital death 2.8, 95% CI 1.4-5.5; OR for heart failure 2.0, 95% CI 0.9-4.4).Conclusion
In men and women of all ages with the spectrum of ACS, initial leukocyte count is an independent predictor of hospital death and the development of heart failure. 相似文献8.
Objectives
This study aimed to develop the Chinese version of the Perceived Barriers to Health Care-seeking Decision (PBHSD-C) and evaluate its psychometric properties in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).Background
The assessment of the level of perceived barriers in the care-seeking trajectory of ACS patients is important for the understanding of its impact on pre-hospital delay in seeking care.Methods
The psychometric properties of PBHSD-C were evaluated among 114 ACS patients in the cardiac unit of two major hospitals in Hong Kong.Results
The Content Validity Indexes were ranged from .88 to 1. The Cronbach's alpha of the PBHSD-C was .74. The intraclass correlation coefficients of all items were above .80. The convergent validity of the PBHSD-C was also supported.Conclusion
The PBHSD-C is reliable and valid to be used to assess the level of perceived barriers in the care-seeking of Chinese patients with ACS. 相似文献9.

Background
It is not known whether high-risk plaque, as detected by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA), permits improved early diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) independently to the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with acute chest pain.Objectives
The primary aim of this study was to determine whether high-risk plaque features, as detected by CTA in the emergency department (ED), may improve diagnostic certainty of ACS independently and incrementally to the presence of significant CAD and clinical risk assessment in patients with acute chest pain but without objective evidence of myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction (MI).Methods
We included patients randomized to the coronary CTA arm of the ROMICAT-II (Rule Out Myocardial Infarction/Ischemia Using Computer-Assisted Tomography II) trial. Readers assessed coronary CTA qualitatively for the presence of nonobstructive CAD (1% to 49% stenosis), significant CAD (≥50% or ≥70% stenosis), and the presence of at least 1 of the high-risk plaque features (positive remodeling, low <30 Hounsfield units plaque, napkin-ring sign, spotty calcium). In logistic regression analysis, we determined the association of high-risk plaque with ACS (MI or unstable angina pectoris) during the index hospitalization and whether this was independent of significant CAD and clinical risk assessment.Results
Overall, 37 of 472 patients who underwent coronary CTA with diagnostic image quality (mean age 53.9 ± 8.0 years; 52.8% men) had ACS (7.8%; MI n = 5; unstable angina pectoris n = 32). CAD was present in 262 patients (55.5%; nonobstructive CAD in 217 patients [46.0%] and significant CAD with ≥50% stenosis in 45 patients [9.5%]). High-risk plaques were more frequent in patients with ACS and remained a significant predictor of ACS (odds ratio [OR]: 8.9; 95% CI: 1.8 to 43.3; p = 0.006) after adjustment for ≥50% stenosis (OR: 38.6; 95% CI: 14.2 to 104.7; p < 0.001) and clinical risk assessment (age, sex, number of cardiovascular risk factors). Similar results were observed after adjustment for ≥70% stenosis.Conclusions
In patients presenting to the ED with acute chest pain but negative initial electrocardiogram and troponin, presence of high-risk plaques on coronary CTA increased the likelihood of ACS independent of significant CAD and clinical risk assessment (age, sex, and number of cardiovascular risk factors).

Introduction
Smoking is associated with atherosclerotic disease, but there is controversy about its protective nature after acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Objective
To determine the impact of smoking on the presentation, treatment and outcome of ACS.Methods
We analyzed all consecutive patients with ACS in a single center between 2005 and 2014. Current smokers and never-smokers were compared. Independent predictors of in-hospital mortality and of a composite of all-cause mortality, rehospitalization for cardiovascular causes, angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting were assessed by multivariate logistic regression.Results
A total of 2727 patients were included, 41.7% current smokers and 58.3% never-smokers. Current smokers were younger, more often male, had fewer comorbidities, a typical clinical presentation, lower heart rate, systolic blood pressure, Killip class, BNP/NT-pro-BNP and creatinine, better left ventricular systolic function and less severe coronary anatomy. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was more common in current smokers. Current smokers received more evidence-based treatments and had less in-hospital complications, in-hospital mortality and adverse outcomes at one year. More frequent percutaneous coronary intervention at one year was noted in current smokers. Smoking was not an independent predictor of outcome when the multivariate model was fully adjusted for baseline characteristics.Conclusion
The smoker's paradox was not observed in this population, since all differences in outcome were explained by smokers’ more benign baseline characteristics. 相似文献11.

Objectives
To explore disparities between non-Hispanic Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites presenting to the emergency department (ED) with potential acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Background
Individuals with fewer resources have worse health outcomes and these individuals are disproportionately those of color.Methods
This prospective study enrolled 663 patients in four EDs. Clinical presentation, treatment, and patient-reported outcome variables were measured at baseline, 1, and 6 months.Results
Blacks with confirmed ACS were younger; had lower income; less education; more risk factors; more symptoms, and longer prehospital delay at presentation compared to Whites. Blacks experiencing palpitations, unusual fatigue, and chest pain were more than 3 times as likely as Whites to have ACS confirmed. Blacks with ACS had more clinic visits and more symptoms 1 month following discharge.Conclusions
Significant racial disparities remain in clinical presentation and outcomes for Blacks compared to Whites presenting to the ED with symptoms suggestive of ACS. 相似文献12.

Background
It is well known that the occurrence of bleeding increases in-hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), and there is a good correlation between bleeding risk scores and bleeding incidence. However, the role of bleeding risk score as mortality predictor is poorly studied.Objective
The main purpose of this paper was to analyze the role of bleeding risk score as in-hospital mortality predictor in a cohort of patients with ACS treated in a single cardiology tertiary center.Methods
Out of 1,655 patients with ACS (547 with ST-elevation ACS and 1,118 with non-ST-elevation ACS), we calculated the ACUITY/HORIZONS bleeding score prospectively in 249 patients and retrospectively in the remaining 1,416. Mortality information and hemorrhagic complications were also obtained.Results
Among the mean age of 64.3 ± 12.6 years, the mean bleeding score was 18 ± 7.7. The correlation between bleeding and mortality was highly significant (p < 0.001, OR = 5.296), as well as the correlation between bleeding score and in-hospital bleeding (p < 0.001, OR = 1.058), and between bleeding score and in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR = 1.121, p < 0.001, area under the ROC curve 0.753, p < 0.001). The adjusted OR and area under the ROC curve for the population with ST-elevation ACS were, respectively, 1.046 (p = 0.046) and 0.686 ± 0.040 (p < 0.001); for non-ST-elevation ACS the figures were, respectively, 1.150 (p < 0.001) and 0.769 ± 0.036 (p < 0.001).Conclusions
Bleeding risk score is a very useful and highly reliable predictor of in-hospital mortality in a wide range of patients with acute coronary syndromes, especially in those with unstable angina or non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction. 相似文献13.

Background
In acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ST-segment elevation (STE), often associated with a completely occluded culprit artery, is an important ECG criterion for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, several studies showed that in ACS a completely occluded culprit artery can also occur with a non-ST-elevation (NSTE) ECG. In order to elucidate reasons for this discrepancy we examined ST injury vector orientation and magnitude in ACS patients with and without STE, all admitted for primary PCI and having a completely occluded culprit artery.Methods
We studied the ECGs of 300 ACS patients (214/86 STE/NSTE; 228/72 single/multivessel disease) who had a completely occluded culprit artery during angiography prior to primary PCI. The J+60 injury vector orientation and magnitude were computed from Frank XYZ leads derived from the 10-s standard 12-lead ECG.Results
Demographic and anthropomorphic characteristics of the STE and NSTE patients did not differ. STE patients had a higher rate of right coronary artery occlusions, and a lower rate of left circumflex occlusions than NSTE patients (43 vs. 31%, and 13 vs. 22%, respectively; P < 0.05). Injury vector elevation and magnitude were larger in STE than in NSTE patients (32° ± 37° vs. 6° ± 39°, and 304 ± 145 μV vs. 134 ± 72 μV, respectively; P < 0.0001).Conclusion
STE criteria favor certain injury vector directions and larger injury vector magnitudes. Obviously, several ACS patients with complete culprit artery occlusions requiring primary PCI do not fulfill these criteria. Our study suggests that STE–NSTE-based ACS stratification needs further enhancement. 相似文献14.

Background
We evaluated whether electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristics were aligned with clinical outcomes and the effect of ticagrelor within the diverse spectrum of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome patients enrolled in the PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes (PLATO) trial.Methods
There were 8884 PLATO patients who had baseline ECGs assessed by a core laboratory; of these, 4935 had an ECG at hospital discharge that also was assessed. Associations with study treatment on vascular death or myocardial infarction within 1 year were examined.Results
At baseline, most patients had either no or ≤0.5 mm of ST-segment depression (57%); 26% had 1.0 mm, and 17% had more extensive depression (>1.0 mm). Across the baseline ST-segment depression strata, there was a consistent treatment benefit with ticagrelor versus clopidogrel on vascular death/myocardial infarction. The extent of residual ST-segment depression at discharge was similar in the treatment groups, and the treatment effect did not differ by the extent of discharge ST-segment depression. There was a progressive increase in vascular death/myocardial infarction with increasing extent of baseline ST-segment depression (1.0 mm [vs no/0.5 mm]: hazard ratio [HR] 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.45; >1.0 mm: HR 1.49; 95% CI, 1.24-1.78; P <.001) and at discharge (HR 1.28; 95% CI, 1.02-1.61; HR 2.13; 95% CI, 1.54-2.95; P <.001).Conclusion
The treatment effect of ticagrelor among non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome patients was consistently expressed across all baseline ST-segment depression strata. There was no indication of an anti-ischemic benefit of ticagrelor as reflected on the discharge ECG. Our data affirm the independent prognostic relationship of both baseline and hospital discharge ST-segment depression on outcomes within 1 year in non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome patients. 相似文献15.

Background
The association between contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been fully reported. We evaluated the association of CI-AKI on cardiovascular events in ACS patients with CKD.Methods
A total of 1059 ACS patients who underwent emergent PCI in our multicenter registry were enrolled (69 ± 12 years, 804 men, 604 STEMI patients). CKD was defined as at least stage 3 CKD, and CI-AKI was defined as an increase of at least 0.5 mg/dL and/or an increase of at least 25% of pre-PCI to post-PCI serum creatinine levels within 1 week after the procedure. Primary endpoints included cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular disorder (stroke or transient ischemic attack).Results
In our study, 368 (34.7%) patients had CKD. During follow-up periods (435 ± 330 days), CI-AKI and primary endpoints occurred in 164 (15.5%) patients and 106 (10.0%) patients, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that age, female gender, peak creatinine kinase > 4000, IABP use, CI-AKI (hazard ratio [HR], 2.17; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.52 to 4.00; P < 0.001), and CKD (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.01 to 2.72; P = 0.046) were independent predictors of primary endpoints. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that occurrence of primary endpoints increased significantly with an increase in CKD stage, and CI-AKI yielded worse long-term prognosis at every stage of CKD (P < 0.001).Conclusions
CI-AKI was revealed to be a significant incremental predictor of cardiovascular events at each stage of CKD in ACS patients. 相似文献16.

Introduction
During the past 20 years, significant progress has been made in the recanalization of ACS with ST elevation. It is now accepted that the reopening of the large coronary vessels in the acute phase of infarction by thrombolysis or angioplasty is necessary but not sufficient, because in 20–50% of cases, the coronary recanalization is an illusion of reperfusion. This phenomenon is called “no reflow”.Objective
The main objective of our study was to identify predictors of poor perfusion or “no reflow” in the acute phase of myocardial infarction.Methods
Observational prospective study, in the department of cardiology and internal medicine, university hospital of Blida, over a period of 28 months from 1st September 2010 to 31st January 2013. We identified all patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction in acute phase, who underwent primary angioplasty or thrombolysis with angiographic control during a good TIMI flow. The endpoint was regression of ST segment (regression < 50% ST-segment defined no reflow).Results
Three hundred and seventy-nine patients were included. The mean age was 56.3 ± 2.1, 87.8% of patients were male. In total, 35.9% hypertensive, 27.1% diabetic type 2, 50.1% and 10.8% dyslipidemia, smoking. One hundred and forty-seven (38.8%) developed a no reflow. Mortality was 3.9%, strongly correlated with no reflow (P = 0.001). Predictors of no reflow after multivariate analysis were: age (OR 98, 0.961–0.996 95%, P = 0.02), heart rate (1.01, 95% CI 0.998–1.02, P = 0.035), the type 2 diabetes (odds ratio 1.87, CI 1.2–3.0, P = 0.08), reaching the core (OR 7, 95% CI 1.2–18.4, P = 0.027), direct stenting (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.31–0.78, P = 0.003). An interesting subgroup of patients was identified namely the subgroup strategy deferred primary angioplasty with stenting best reperfusion (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.5–8.8, P = 0.04), a lower rate of reocclusion of culprit artery and a lower rate of stenting with 23/51 (45.1%) versus 136/136 (100%) of immediate stenting group with a P < 0.001.Conclusion
No reflow is a common phenomenon, strongly correlated with mortality predictors are age, heart rate, diabetes, achieving the core and direct stenting. The distal embolization in primary angioplasty is an important phenomenon, a delayed stenting strategy appears to limit this phenomenon. 相似文献17.

Background
Adenosine di-phosphate receptor antagonists (ADPRAs) blunt hemostasis for several days after administration. This effect, aimed at preventing cardiac ischemic complications particularly in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), may increase perioperative bleeding in the case of cardiac surgery. Practice Guidelines recommend withholding ADPRAs for at least 5 days prior to surgery, though with a weak base of evidence. The purpose of this study was to systematically review observational and experimental studies of early or late preoperative discontinuation of ADPRAs prior to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for patients with ACS.Methods
MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library databases up to December 2011; and reference lists.Observational and experimental studies that compared early ADPRA discontinuation with late discontinuation, or no discontinuation, in patients with ACS undergoing CABG.Results
There were 19 studies, including 14,046 participants, 395 deaths and 309 reoperations due to bleeding. ADPRA late discontinuation up to CABG was associated with an increased risk of postoperative mortality (OR 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10 to 1.93) and reoperations due to bleeding (OR 2.18; 95% CI 1.47 to 2.62). Between-study heterogeneity was low. Meta-analysis limited to high quality or prospective studies gave consistent results. In most instances, the 95% prediction intervals for summary risk estimates confirmed the risk across study groups.Conclusions
ADPRA late discontinuation prior to CABG is associated with an increased risk of death and reoperations due to bleeding in patients with ACS. The confidence in the estimates of risk for late discontinuation is moderate to high. 相似文献18.

Background
Left atrial volume index (LAVI) is well proven to be a reliable method of determining left atrial size, which has prognostic implications in cardiovascular diseases. Studies demonstrate that increased LAVI is a predictor of mortality in myocardial infarction, but its association with other major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among patients post acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has not been adequately evaluated.Methods
We calculated the baseline LAVI for all patients who were admitted with ACS between December 2010 and August 2011. The patients were stratified into 2 arms: normal LAVI and increased LAVI, with a cutoff value of 28 mL/m2. All patients were prospectively followed up during 6 months for development of MACEs.Results
Of the 75 patients who completed the study, 32 had increased LAVI, and 43 had normal LAVI. More than half (55%) of the patients were diagnosed with unstable angina. During the follow-up period of 6 months, 30 patients (93.8%) in the increased-LAVI arm and 23 patients (53.5%) in the normal-LAVI arm developed at least a single MACE. Patients with increased LAVI had significantly more MACEs (P = 0.021). The occurrence of MACE remained significantly higher in the increased-LAVI group even when atrial fibrillation was excluded (P = 0.016). After adjusting for confounding variables by multivariate analysis, LAVI was found to have a significant association with MACEs (P = 0.030, odds ratio = 1.229 (95% confidence interval, 1.020-1.481).Conclusion
LAVI is a useful tool for prognostication and an independent predictor of MACEs post ACS. 相似文献19.

Objective:
To determine the initial management and in-hospital mortality of patients with acute coronary syndrome who attended referral hospitals in Paraguay.Method:
Observational, multicenter study, in patients over 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.Results:
780 patients were included from May 2015 to February 2016; the mean age was 64.1 ± 12.3 years, 64.1% male. The clinical presentation was acute coronary syndrome with ST elevation in 40.1% and without elevation in 59.9%. In patients with ST elevation there is a high percentage of late attendance, more than 12 h of evolution in 49.8%; those with less than 12 h of evolution underwent reperfusion in 52.2% of the cases, received fibrinolytics in 36.3% of the cases, and primary percutaneous coronary intervention 15.9%. In-hospital mortality for acute coronary syndrome was 10.3%, with ST-segment elevation was 12.8%, and without ST-segment elevation was 8.6%.Conclusions:
The management of acute coronary syndrome in Paraguay needs a comprehensive approach, which promotes earlier care, and increases the implementation of reperfusion therapies in the health services network, in order to improve the therapeutic response rates and decrease hospital mortality. 相似文献20.
