Adverse Childhood Experiences and Acute Coronary Syndrome in Adulthood
… on social support and subsequent incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was examined in a cohort of 6,596 older Seventh-day Adventists. After controlling for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and psychological factors, ACE exposure predicted increased risk of ACS by 31% for males only. …

Prehospital Delay, Procrastination and Personality in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Coronary heart disease alone caused one out of every six deaths in the United States in 2009. Individuals who experience signs and symptoms of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) often delay seeking treatment. Compared to patients who arrive within two hours of symptom onset, those with prolonged …

Sex-specific computationally generated biomarkers for cardiovascular risk stratification post acute coronary syndrome
… who present with symptoms consistent with an Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) are often under-diagnosed and under-represented in clinical trials. Moreover, there are data to suggest that women with cardiovascular disease have worse outcomes, poorer prognoses, and higher mortality rates than men. …

A comparison of machine learning methods for risk stratification after acute coronary syndrome
… for the proper management of patients after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Currently, the most widely accepted metrics for risk stratification are risk scores such as the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score. However, …

Assessment and characteristics of the clinical process and outcomes of acute coronary syndrome in elderly patients /
… the study. Clinical process characteristics of acute coronary syndrome in elderly patients have been assessed in this study; the relation between patient survival and clinical process characteristics as well as treatment methods has been established. For this purpose the survival of elderly …

Achievement of secondary prevention goals 6 to 9 months after Acute Coronary Syndrome : a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis
… [ARBs]) and smoking cessation in patients after acute coronary syndromes. At present, little is known about adherence to medication and smoking behaviour after discharge in South Africa. This information is essential to optimising both in-patient care and post-discharge planning of these …

A comprehensive assessment of variations in electrocardiogram morphology in risk assessment of cardiovascular death post-acute coronary syndrome
… worldwide are hospitalized each year due to an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients who have had an acute coronary syndrome are at higher risk for developing future adverse cardiovascular events such as cardiovascular death, congestive heart failure, or a repeat ACS. Currently, there have …

Building improved risk stratification models for patients post non ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome using ambulatory ECG data
… care of patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Inpatient telemetry data are collected for patients post-NSTE-ACS as part of the standard protocol, but current practices do not take advantage of those data to improve the assessment of the patient's long-term …

Outcomes of patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome to a district level hospital in a lower to middle income country
Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has become a leading cause of death in low-and middle-income countries. There is a lack of data regarding the outcomes of ACS in Africa. This study aims to assess the outcomes of ACS patients admitted to a resource-limited district hospital in Cape Town, …

The Effects of an Educational Program on Recognition of Atypical Signs and Symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Women in the Emergency Room
… that one in six deaths in the US is related to coronary artery disease. When diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, which is an acute event, resulting from CAD, appropriate treatment greatly reduces the risk of refractory ischemia, need for urgent revascularization, and death. Women are less …

Using the stress electrocardiograph (ECG) exercise tolerance test (ETT) in an emergency department (ED) to assess low-risk patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
This study examines the outcomes of a group of low-risk patients with uncertain diagnosis, who were seen at a rural health facility. A stress ECG was performed on the patients within 24 hours of the onset of pain, with those with negative tests subsequently being discharged.

Impact of Transradial Approach in Patients with High Risk Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Abciximab on In-Hospital Clinical Outcomes and Bleeding Complications
… numbers of studies suggesting that transradial coronary intervention (TRI) is associated with better clinical outcomes by reducing bleeding and vascular complications when compared with transfemoral coronary intervention (TFI). The benefit of TRI might be enlarged in patients at high risk of …

Association of adverse cardiovascular outcomes with weighted morphologic variability following non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes
Patients who have had an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at a relatively high risk of having subsequent adverse cardiac events. Several electrocardiographic (ECG) measures such as heart rate variability, heart rate turbulence, deceleration capacity, T-wave altemans, and morphologic variability …

Time is muscle : a systematic review investigating the role of remote ischaemic preconditioning and glucose-insulin-potassium infusions as adjunctive therapies to revascularisation in coronary artery disease
In the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) most advances have concerned improvements in catheter-based interventional techniques and complex pharmacotherapy, with an emphasis on time, which unfortunately, cannot always achieved. However, simple measures with reassuring benefit that can be …

Risk stratification by analysis of electrocardiographic morphology following acute coronary syndromes
Patients who have suffered an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at elevated risk of future adverse events, including fatal arrhythmias or myocardial infarction. Risk stratification--he identification of high-risk patients--s an important step in determining who is most likely to benefit from …
