Article Synopsis
- CAG is a costly but informative procedure that poses risks, prompting an analysis of its existing database from Rigshospitalet between 1999 and 2000.* -
- Out of 5,536 CAGs recorded, 52% were for stable coronary artery disease, and the database revealed essential insights, such as significant left main coronary stenosis found in 42.4% of CCS class 4 patients.* -
- The clinical database aids in effective information storage, emphasizing that angina severity alone doesn't predict which patients would benefit most from surgery, and supports various aspects of medical training and administrative planning.*
Aims: To evaluate the 10-year incidence of later infarction and subsequent mortality, as well as predictors of later infarction, in patients with suspected myocardial infarction and alive on day 15 after admission.
Methods And Results: 5993 patients admitted with suspected myocardial infarction and alive on day 15 after admission were registered in The First Danish Verapamil Infarction Trial database in 1979-81. 2586 had definite infarction, 402 probable infarction and 3005 no infarction as they fulfilled 3, 2 and 1 criteria for infarction.
The use of radionuclide transit (RT) as a screening test for chest pain of oesophageal origin has been debated. The aim of this study was to determine the value of RT as a screening test for oesophageal disorders in comparison with oesophageal manometry in patients admitted with acute chest pain but without acute myocardial infarction (non-AMI patients), and to assess the frequency of oesophageal disease present in these patients. A total of 222 non-AMI patients entered the study.
