Correlation between admission blood glucose, fibrinogen, and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, whether immediate blood glucose and FIB levels affect coronary blood flow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear.ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between admission blood glucose (ABG), fibrinogen (FIB) and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).MethodsA

Correlation between baseline immature platelets fraction levels and peak troponin in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Introduction Elevated peak cardiac troponin levels have been linked with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We hypothesize that patients with higher IPF levels during AMI, will experience a more severe infarct, leading to elevated peak troponin levels.

Classification Algorithm to Distinguish Between Type 1 and Type 2 Myocardial Infarction in Administrative Claims Data

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Background:Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) and type 1 myocardial infarction (T1MI) differ with respect to demographics, comorbidities, treatments, and clinical outcomes. This could facilitate more accurate longitudinal assessments of acute myocardial infarction quality and outcomes. T1MI and 53.5%

Familial risk of vasospastic angina: a nationwide family study in Sweden

Open Heart

Objectives Vasospastic angina (VSA) is a complex coronary vasomotor disorder associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and sudden death. Methods A population-based multigenerational cohort study was conducted, including full-sibling pairs born to Swedish parents between 1932 and 2018.
