Article Synopsis
- This study explores how inflammation affects outcomes in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), specifically looking at in-hospital mortality and the modified Naples prognostic score (mNPS).
- The research included 2,576 STEMI patients and analyzed various inflammatory markers, finding that higher levels of these markers, particularly mNPS, were linked to increased in-hospital mortality.
- Results indicate that mNPS not only predicts in-hospital mortality more effectively than other inflammatory indices but also provides a net clinical benefit in assessing patient risk during hospitalization.
Background: Atrial flutter (AFL) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are the most commonly detected supraventricular arrhythmias and share similar pathophysiological mechanisms. After the successful ablation of AFL, AF frequently occurs in the long-term follow-up. As emphasized in some studies, certain mechanisms seem to predispose to the development of AF in AFL patients, and approximately 20% of these patients have accompanying AFL.

This study aims to investigate the correlation between WCH and Templer's Death Anxiety Scale (T-DAS) questionnaire. Asymptomatic individuals with a familial history of sudden cardiac death or acute myocardial infarction within the last year, who presented at our cardiology outpatient clinic, were enrolled in this prospective, single-center, cross-sectional study.
