Association of Admission Systolic Blood Pressure on long-Term Outcomes after ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Introduction: Hypertension is widely known as a significant factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, there is increasing interest in the potential link between low admission systolic blood pressure (SBP) and higher mortality rates. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between admission SBP and the probability of one-year mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Smoker pseudo-paradox in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients.

Introduction: Cigarette smoking is a preventable cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite the adverse effects of smoking, some studies have reported the term "smoker's paradox', meaning better outcomes in smokers following acute myocardial infarction.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between smoking status and one-year mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
