Evolution of Critical Care Cardiology: An Update on Structure, Care Delivery, Training, and Research Paradigms: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

The development of coronary care units is often credited for a dramatic decline in mortality rates after acute myocardial infarction throughout the 1960s. As the underlying patient population became progressively sicker, changes in organizational structure, staffing, care delivery, and training paradigms lagged.

Abstract 4142612: External validation of CHIP score in patients undergoing in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in a large-scale Chinese cohort

Circulation

Background:The CHIP score, developed from the BCIS (British Cardiovascular Intervention Society) database, predicts adverse in-hospital MACCE (major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events). The primary endpoint was 5-year MACCE, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
