Impact of chest pain center quality control indicators on mortality risk in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients: a study based on Killip classification

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Despite the crucial role of Chest pain centers (CPCs) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) management, China's mortality rate for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has remained stagnant. The cohort was stratified by Killip classification at admission (Class 1: n  = 402, Class ≥2: n  = 262).

Impact of preloading strategy with ticagrelor on periprocedural myocardial injury in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction undergoing early invasive strategy

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Pretreatment with an oral P2Y12 receptor blocker (before coronary angiography) vs. treatment in the catheterization laboratory has been a matter of debate in patients presenting with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Impact of Anemia and Iron Deficiency on Outcomes in Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to assess the impact of anemia and iron deficiency (ID) on clinical outcome in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Blood samples were collected in the catheterization laboratory during initial percutaneous coronary intervention.

Heart Pump Improves Survival After Severe Heart Attacks

DAIC

The new trial, called DanGer Shock , is the first trial powered to examine whether the use of micro-axial flow pumps can improve survival in ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI, the most serious type of heart attack) that are complicated by cardiogenic shock. Among 355 patients who were included in the analysis, 58.5%

The First 60 Minutes of a Heart Attack: The Golden Hour

Wellnest

When one of these arteries becomes completely blocked by a blood clot, it results in a heart attack, also known as MI (Myocardial infarction). When a person experiences a heart attack or myocardial infarction, they may feel chest pain and other symptoms in different parts of their body.
