Objective: To investigate the relationship between cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genetic polymorphism and clopidogrel resistance(CR) in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS), and to assess the effects of genetic polymorphism at CYP2C19 (681G>A) on the prognosis of ACS patients.

Methods: A total of 462 patients with ACS were enrolled and received loading dose clopidogrel(600 mg). The blood samples of patients were collected before and 24 hours after taking loading dose clopidogrel, then 5 µmol/L ADP-induced platelet aggregation ratio (PAR) was examined.

Objective: To investigate the association of insulin resistance (IR), blood pressure variability (BPV) and the severity of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and assess the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on recent prognosis.

Methods: A total of 260 patients diagnosed as ACS and hospitalized in our department of cardiology from December 2009 to December 2010 were enrolled in the study. There were 93 cases of unstable angina pectoris(UAP), 84 of non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and 83 of unstable angina pectoris.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) resulting from primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is considered harmful to the patient, but its clinical significance remains unclear. This study explored the relationship of cardiac function examined by echocardiography and serum creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB levels with MIRI in a cohort of Chinese AMI patients.

Material/methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinical and angiographic data in 228 AMI patients in whom the infarct-related artery (IRA) was successfully recanalized by primary PCI.

Background: The poor clinical outcome in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been attributed to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI).

Objective: This study aimed to identify the predictive factors of MIRI during PCI in Chinese AMI patients with or without ST-segment elevation.

Methods: Clinical and angiographic data of 228 patients in whom the infarct-related artery (IRA) was successfully recanalized by primary PCI were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: To investigate the clinical implications of reperfusion arrhythmias during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: Data from 228 AMI patients in whom the infarct-related artery (IRA) were successfully recanalized by primary PCI were retrospectively analyzed. The 228 patients were divided into 2 groups: myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) group (n=119) in whom MIRI events occurred within minutes after successful recanalization of IRA, and non-MIRI group (n=109).

Objective: To explore the risk and protective factors for the occurrence of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: Clinical and angiographic data of 228 AMI patients in whom the infarct-related arteries (IRA) were successfully revascularized by primary PCI were analyzed retrospectively. MIRI was defined if the following conditions existed after PCI: severe bradycardia with hypotension, or lethal ventricular arrhythmias requiring electrical cardioversion, or IRA antegrade flow < or = TIMI 2 grade flow without angiographic evidence of thrombus, emboli, dissection or spasm.

Objective: To observe the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on QT dispersion (QTd) and explore its clinical significance in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: The electrocardiograms recorded before and one day after PCI were analyzed in 138 patients with AMI. The duration from the onset of AMI to PCI operation was less than 6 h in 72 patients and 6 to 12 h in the other patients.
