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.

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?

From the Member Sections | Tackling the Polypharmacy Pandemic in CV Care

American College of Cardiology

7 The use of antiplatelet agents to prevent stent thrombosis, moderate- to high-dose statin therapy after acute coronary syndromes, or antihypertensive agents in asymptomatic patients may all be perceived by patients as not providing benefit because they may not feel the effects.8

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.

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.

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.

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.
