The American Heart Association 2005 Emergency Cardiovascular Care Guidelines Impact on Myocardial Infarction Mortality in Nevada Hospitals
… the impact of the recommend guideline that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) be implemented within 90 minutes from emergency room arrival to the PCI (door-to-balloon). The PCI guideline is expected to decrease AMI mortality. AMI mortality is adjusted for comorbidities and other …

Clinical outcome and Predictive factors of Coronary aneurysm after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) defined as angiographic luminal dilatation (50% larger than the adjacent reference vessel) at the site of stent implantation are rare and the reported incidence varies from 0.3% to 6%(Aoki et al., 2008). A new term, peri-stent contrast staining (PSS) was defined as …

Quality of life and ethics-patients with ischemic heart disease
… after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=296), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=99) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=18) patients completed a questionnaire for self-assessment of quality of life (QoL) during the period 1989?1991. Patients differed from age- and …

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 …

Correlation Between Serum Bilirubin Level and Coronary Microvascular Integrity in Diabetic Patients
… role in suppressing atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. There has not been comparative studies for the relation of bilirubin level and coronary microvascular function in diabetes. This study investigates whether bilirubin can preserve coronary microvascular integrity in diabetes, …

Crosstalk Signaling Between cAMP and Calcium on the Leading Edge of Migrating Human Arterial Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
… Currently, vessel stenosis is reversed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the placement of drug eluting stents (DES) coated with pan-cellular anti-proliferative agents. Although these approaches are effective, in-stent restenosis and thrombosis remain problematic, in part due …

Clinical, Invasive and Non-Invasive Factors Affecting Outcomes in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes
In this thesis, factors affecting outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the most common interventional procedure performed, were examined. To constrain procedural costs, selective criteria for drug-eluting stents (DES), which reduce restenosis, were developed in 2003 at Liverpool …

Bleeding Risk Following Percutaneous Intervention in Patients with Diabetes Prescribed Dual Anti Platelet Therapy
… drug eluting stent (DES) implant at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). DES stent implantation necessitates prolonged dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT). While DAPT reduces the risk of ischemic events post-PCI, it also increases the risk for bleeding. Whether long-term rates of …

Comparison of Patient-Reported Angina with Provider Assigned Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Class Before and After Revascularization
… from over 160 international sites to either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), CCS was reported by physicians and the SAQ was completed by patients prior to randomization and 1 year later. SAQ angina frequency (SAQ AF) scores were considered to …

Beta-blocker therapy in the era of primary percutaneous intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction
… of betablocker therapy after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on STEMI. METHODS: We analyzed the data and clinical outcomes of 901 STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI . We classified patients into beta-blocker (N=598) and non betablocker groups (N=303) according to …

Comparison of clinical outcome after revascularization versus conservative treatment in patients with borderline fractional flow reserve measurements
… tool for assessing the functional severity of coronary artery stenosis and for clinical decision of treatment strategy. Many studies have shown that FFR measurement <0.75 is specific for ischemia, but there is a controversy about whether we need to intervene the lesion of FFR measurement …

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 …

Clinical and Angiographic Predictive Factor for the Development of No-reflow/Slow flow Phenomenon during Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
… use of distal protective device during primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) for AMI reduce no-reflow/slow flow phenomenon in some patients, but not all cases. The identification of high risk group for development of no-reflow/slow flow phenomenon is important. We assessed the clinical …

Non-invasive Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
… a population that included 34 patients with coronary artery, 32 participants with only coronary risk factors but no established clinical disease, and 11 young, healthy volunteers, we demonstrated that the OS-CMR signal intensity percent changes (∆SI%) in response to adenosine-induced …

Invasive Physiologic Assessment of Myocardial Viability After Primary Angioplasty in Acute Myocardial Infarction: Comparison With FDG-PET Imaging
BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: The state of coronary microcirculaton is an important determinant of myocardial viability and clinical outcomes in acute myocardial infarction(AMI). However, to date, there has been lacking in comparative studies on the most reliable invasive, on-site measurement for assessing …

STEMI Management and Outcomes at a Regional Hospital in Guatemala
… In Guatemala, in-hospital mortality from acute coronary syndromes markedly exceeds global averages due to delayed presentation, limited reperfusion access, and systemic resource constraints. Hospital Nacional de San Benito (HNSB), the main public referral hospital for rural Petén, operates …
