Prevalence of Occlusive Myocardial Infarction (OMI) in patients diagnosed with Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) at a single private facility in Cape Town, South Africa, during 2019
… of Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI), often perceived as partial occlusion. However, 25.5% of NSTEMIs involve total coronary occlusion, significantly impacting mortality and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE).1 The Occlusive Myocardial Infarction (OMI) vs Non-occlusive …

Cardiology Implications of ED COVID-19 Patients in an Underserved Rural Health Care Environment
… with severe cardiac complications (e.g., STEMI, NSTEMI, myocarditis, pericarditis, AF) specifically among underserved communities. Acute STEMI and NSTEMI are cardiac conditions associated with ruptured atherosclerotic plaque leading to significant myocardial injury. AF, the most common arrhythmia …

Evaluating the performance of the GRACE and TIMI risk scores in acute coronary syndromes: a South African cohort
… Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, with either STEMI or NSTEMI, between January 1 st to December 31st, 2019. For each participant, both GRACE and TIMI risk scores were calculated and recorded electronically. Performance of each score was determined and compared using receiver operating characteristic …

Is Optimum Time to Coronary Artery bypass Surgery Associated With Hospital Teaching Status and Payer Source? A Comparison of Outcomes and Costs Among Non St Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction Patients and St Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction Patients
… among patients with non-ST segment elevated AMI (NSTEMI) using secondary claims data. </p> <p>Objective: This research investigates in-hospital costs to treat patients with NSTEMI by analyzing a.) the association between cost and payer source and b.) the association between cost and time to CABG. …

Outcomes of patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome to a district level hospital in a lower to middle income country
… a diagnosis of ACS was admitted, of who 52 had NSTEMI/UAP and 36 patients had STEMI. The median age was 60 years, with a male predominance of 61.36%. The major risk factors for CAD were hypertension and smoking. The overall 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month mortality rates for our cohort were 4%, …

Electrocardiographic predictors of poor outcome in acute myocardial infarction
… or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI, 42.5%). Fifty-one (16.9%) patients died within three years after their index presentation. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that left atrial enlargement (LAE, odds ratio [OR] 3.91 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39-11.02], p=0.010) …
