Relationship between Complete Revascularization and Survival after Post-Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture.

Introduction: A well-known and fatal complication of myocardial infarction (MI) is post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR). The benefits and risks associated with coronary angiography and subsequent coronary artery bypass grafting in these patients have sparked controversy. The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of revascularization following MI.

Relationship between metabolic syndrome and angiographic severity of coronary artery disease.

Methods: Total of 192 patients were consecutively enrolled in the study who were admitted to coronary care unit because of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and then underwent coronary angiography.
