Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how complete revascularization after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) impacts patients with left main coronary artery disease, using data from the EXCEL trial involving 903 patients over a 5-year follow-up.
- - Findings showed that the risk of death or myocardial infarction (MI) did not significantly differ based on traditional measures of complete revascularization but was notably higher with a higher residual Jeopardy Score (rJS), particularly for patients with untreated severe stenoses in the left circumflex artery (LCX).
- - Specifically, patients with an rJS of 4 or more had worse outcomes, with increased mortality and spontaneous MI, highlighting the importance of addressing untreated high-grade lesions post-PCI for
Objectives: This study sought to determine correlates and consequences of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) on clinical outcomes in patients with or without pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Background: The incidence and impact of CA-AKI on clinical outcomes during contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not fully defined.
Methods: The ADAPT-DES (Assessment of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy With Drug Eluting Stents) study was a prospective, multicenter registry of 8,582 patients treated with ≥1 drug-eluting stent(s).
Key autonomic functions are in continuous development during adolescence which can be assessed using the heart rate variability (HRV). However, the influence of different demographic and physiological factors on HRV indices has not been fully explored in adolescents. In this study we aimed to assess the effect of age, gender, and heart rate on HRV indices in two age groups of healthy adolescents (age ranges, 13-16 and 17-20 years) and two groups of healthy young adults (21-24 and 25-30 years).
