Stress hyperglycemia and poor outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods We conducted a comprehensive search for articles on PubMed and Embase using search strategies which yielded 4,061 articles. After full-text screening, 66 articles were included for systematic review, and 62 articles were further selected for meta-analysis. Overall, 55 (83.3%) studies were at low risk of bias.

Chest pain and a computer ‘normal’ ECG. Therefore, there is no need for a physician to look at this ECG.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Old ‘NSTEMI’ A history of coronary artery disease and a stent to the same territory further increases pre-test likelihood of acute coronary occlusion, including in-stent thrombosis. The patient had a history of ‘NSTEMI’ a decade prior, with an RCA stent. Does this change your interpretation?

Stent, balloon and hybrid in de novo PCI: could the whole be greater than the sum of its parts?

The British Journal of Cardiology

The near-immediate or instant feedback learning process by which the heart responds to any new invasive procedural variation facilitates each new change; be it drug-eluting stent, drug-coated balloon, or both in different combinations and permutations.

Immediate vs. multistage revascularization of non-infarct coronary artery(-ies) in patients with hemodynamically stable multivessel disease acute myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Databases were searched for relevant articles published before 10 November 2023. Similarly, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, stent thrombosis, and acute renal insufficiency did not show significant differences between two groups.

Why we need continuous 12-lead ST segment monitoring in Wellens' syndrome

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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. It was stented. It is well documented with continuous 12-lead monitoring that acute re-occlusion is frequently asymptomatic.

Computer: "Normal ECG," TIMI-3 flow at angiography: Does this ECG manifest Occlusion MI?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

I would expect that a stent would be placed. The angiogram showed an open artery with 95% stenosis and thrombosis and it was stented. I would expect TIMI-3 flow (normal flow, no persistent ischemia) with a culprit in the RCA (or possibly Circumflex). They were interpreted as completely NORMAL!! Jesse McLaren et al.

Role of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Modern High-Risk PCI with pLVAD Support

Cardiology Update

In the early years of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), studies indicated a heightened risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), involving outcomes such as death, Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI), stent thrombosis, and repeat revascularization.
