An obesity paradox in patients with myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous intervention.

Background And Aims: Data concerning the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and outcome in myocardial infarction (MI) patients are inconclusive. Long-term data on the influence of BMI on survival in patients with MI who have undergone percutaneous intervention (PCI) are lacking. We aimed to assess the effect of different categories of BMI on long-term mortality.

Age-Specific Sex-Based Differences in Anemia in Patients with Myocardial Infarction.

Data are lacking concerning possible age-specific sex-based differences in anemia in myocardial infarction (MI) patients and its association with the outcome. The aim was to assess whether these differences in anemia (on admission and at discharge) in MI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are associated with the outcome. Data from 5579 MI patients (31.

Women and acute kidney injury in myocardial infarction.

Background: Data on the relationship between gender and acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are conflicting and inconclusive. The contrast volume-to-estimated glomerular filtration rate ratio (CV/GFR) was shown to predict AKI in patients with MI undergoing PCI. We assessed gender-based differences in AKI and evaluated the association between the CV/GFR and AKI in MI patients undergoing PCI.

Sex-Related Anemia Contributes to Disparities in Outcome of Patients Younger Than 60 Years with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Younger women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have a worse outcome than their age-matched male peers. Our aim was to assess whether there are sex-based differences in anemia on admission, and if they are associated with the outcome of patients with STEMI younger than 60 years undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Materials And Methods: Data of 2095 STEMI patients, 804 of whom were younger than 60 years, were analyzed.

Influence of minor deterioration of renal function after PCI on outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Objectives: Our aim was to assess the possible impact of a deterioration of renal function (DRF) not fulfilling the criteria for acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on 30-day and long-term outcomes.

Background: Data is lacking on the influence of DRF after PCI on outcome in patients with STEMI.

Methods: The present study is an analysis of 2572 STEMI patients who underwent PCI.

GPIIb-IIIa Receptor Inhibitors in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Presenting With Cardiogenic Shock and/or After Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Background: Data on the use of GPIIb-IIIa receptor inhibitors (GPI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients presenting with cardiogenic shock and/or after cardiopulmonary resuscitation is sparse. The aim of the study was to establish the possible influence of the adjunctive use of GPI on 30-day and 1-year mortality in these high-risk patients.

Methods: Acute coronary syndrome patients (261), who presented with cardiogenic shock and/or were cardiopulmonary resuscitated on admission, were analysed.

Sex-Related 30-Day and Long-Term Mortality in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Treated with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: The data on sex as an independent risk factor for death in acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients are still contrasting. The aim was to assess how sex influences 30-day and long-term all-cause mortality in MI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Materials And Methods: Data from 3624 MI patients undergoing PCI at our institution from January 2009 to December 2014, 30.

Gender Related Survival Differences in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Treated with Primary PCI.

Background: Data about gender as an independent risk factor for death in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is still contrasting. Aim was to assess how gender influences in-hospital and long-term all-cause mortality in STEMI patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in our region.

Methods: We analysed data from 2069 STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI in our institution from January 2009-December 2014, of whom 28.
