Patients were evaluated based on a composite outcome of all-cause mortality, stroke, or myocardial infarction. Bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD) was categorized into structural valve deterioration (SVD), non-structural valve dysfunction (NSVD), clinical valve thrombosis, or endocarditis.

Background Hyperglycemia, characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, is frequently observed in patients with acute coronary syndrome, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods We conducted a comprehensive search for articles on PubMed and Embase using search strategies which yielded 4,061 articles.

Here is the classic article on continuous 12-lead monitoring (in full text) showing that the ECG is a much more reliable indicator of re-occlusion than are symptoms. Here is another classic article. Consequences of reocclusion after successful reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction. de Wood et al.

Current guidelines recommend that direct anticoagulants should not be used in prevention of recurrent thrombosis in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). During a median follow-up of 53 months, we recorded venous thromboembolism (VTE), ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction, along with major bleeding.
