Evolution in the management of acute myocardial infarction in the autonomous community of valencia (Spain): ten years of the primvac registry (1995-2004).

Introduction And Objectives: Several registries of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been carried out in Spain, but few remain active. This work analyses the evolution of the characteristics and control of patients with AMI during the first 10 years of the PRIMVAC registry, initiated in 1995.

Methods: The demographical and clinical characteristics, therapeutic-diagnostic procedures and pharmacological treatment of patients admitted with AMI between January 1995 and December 2004, were analysed in 17 coronary centres in the Autonomous Community of Valencia (South eastern Spain).

Intensive care adult patients with severe respiratory failure caused by Influenza A (H1N1)v in Spain.

Introduction: Patients with influenza A (H1N1)v infection have developed rapidly progressive lower respiratory tract disease resulting in respiratory failure. We describe the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of the first 32 persons reported to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to influenza A (H1N1)v infection in Spain.

Methods: We used medical chart reviews to collect data on ICU adult patients reported in a standardized form.

Clinical course of acute myocardial infarction in the hypertensive patient in Eastern Spain: the PRIMVAC registry.

Objective: The study's objective was to analyze the acute complications and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in hypertensive patients in Spain.

Method: Complications and early mortality were recorded among the patients with AMI admitted to the coronary care units of the 17 hospitals in the Valencia Community (Spain) between 1995 and 2000.

Results: A total of 12.

[Reinfarction as a complication of acute myocardial infarction. PRIMVAC Registry data].

Introduction And Objectives: The clinical profile of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who have reinfarction (REAMI) during their stay in the intensive cardiologic care unit (ICCU) is not well known. The aim of this study was to identify factors predictive of REAMI, as well as its global incidence and mortality.

Patients And Method: All patients with AMI admitted to the ICCU of 17 hospitals in the Comunidad de Valencia (Spain) in the period 1995-2000 (PRIMVAC Registry) were included.

[Mortality of myocardial infarction in the PRIMVAC registry. Prognostic factors].

Background And Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the mortality due to acute myocardial infarction in the coronary units from Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) and the prognostic factors associated with a higher mortality.

Patients And Method: Demographic characteristics, coronary risk factors, electrocardiographic ischemic signs, complications and mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted in the coronary units were collected. The study period comprised January 1995-December 1999.

[Acute myocardial infarction in patients under 45 years].

Introduction And Objective: To evaluate the differential features of acute myocardial infarction in patients younger than 45 years old compared to older patients.

Patients And Methods: From 1995 to 1999, delays in the assistance, evaluation, and therapeutic strategies as well as complications in patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, have been registered in the intensive care units of the 17 hospitals participating in the PRIMVAC Register.

Results: During the study, 10,213 patients were registered, 6.
