Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor as a Predictor of All-Cause Death in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography at 10-Year Follow-Up.

We aimed to explore the predictive role of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in patients undergoing coronary angiography by systematically evaluating its association with adverse cardiovascular events at 10 years follow-up. The KORONEF study was a single-center, observational, prospective study with 492 subjects included. In the multivariable Cox regression model, we checked the impact of suPAR, neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, and DNase 1 on long-term outcomes.

Ten-Year Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Simultaneous Coronary and Renal Angiography-Does Renal Artery Stenosis Matter?

We aimed to characterize the population of consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography with simultaneous renal artery angiography and assess prognostic factors at a 10 year follow-up. The KORONEF study was a prospective, single-center, observational, and descriptive study with 492 patients included. We analyzed several baseline demographics, clinical and periprocedural characteristics, and laboratory data, and we assessed the results of coronary angiography and renal artery angiography.

Clinical characteristics and predictors of in-hospital mortality of patients hospitalized with myocardial infarction before and during COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many acute coronary syndrome (ACS) care aspects. The aim was to compare the patient profile, ACS characteristics, and the outcomes in patients referred to the invasive cardiology department before (March 2019 - February 2020) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 - February 2021).

Methods: Clinical and demographic features, comorbidities, laboratory parameters at admission, and periprocedural data were recorded.
