Article Synopsis
- * This study followed patients with NSTEACS using hsTn tests for two years to see if these tests influence medium-term health outcomes like heart-related events, bleeding, and overall mortality.
- * Results showed no significant differences in major cardiovascular events between UA and NSTEMI patients, but NSTEMI patients experienced higher cardiovascular and overall mortality rates at the two-year mark.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their 2-year health outcomes based on the type of antiplatelet therapy used.
- Among the 1717 ACS patients, 38% had DM, and these patients were older, more often female, and had more health complications, with clopidogrel being the most prescribed medication.
- Findings indicated that DM significantly increased the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and overall mortality, with the use of ticagrelor or prasugrel linked to better outcomes compared to clopidogrel in diabetic patients.
Introduction And Aims: Patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) are often managed conservatively. Clinical practice guidelines recommend treating these patients with the same pharmacological drugs as those who receive invasive treatment. We analyze the use of new antiplatelet drugs (NADs) and other recommended treatments in people discharged following an NSTE-ACS according to the treatment strategy used, comparing the medium-term prognosis between groups.

Background: A simple method to assess renal function is the estimated glomerular filtration rate, and it shows prognostic implications. However, it remains unknown which equation should be used in patients with acute coronary syndrome. We compared the ability and correlation of the Cockcroft-Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease-4 (MDRD-4), and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations and their predictive performance for major adverse cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, and major bleeding in a cohort of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
