[The relationship between TIMI (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) risk score and efficacy of conservative or interventional strategy in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score and efficacy of different treatment strategies in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS).

Methods: From Oct. 2001 to Oct.

[The changes of electrocardiogram and impact of early invasive strategy in patients with acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation].

Objective: To investigate the changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) and impact of early invasive strategy in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) without ST-segment elevation.

Methods: Five hundred and forty-five consecutive ACS patients without ST-segment elevation were randomly assigned to early conservative treatment group and early invasive treatment group. The combined cardiovascular events, including cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal heart failure, and re-hospitalization due to recurrent ischemia angina, within 30 days and 6 months were analyzed and the effects of varied ECG changes and different intervention strategies on outcomes of patients were evaluated.

[Clinical features and treatment of cardiogenic shock complicated with acute myocardial infarction].

Objective: To identify the clinical features and the outcome of patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: One hundred and eight consecutive patients with AMI were included in this retrospective analysis. The characteristics, management, and outcome of patients with AMI were compared between patients with cardiogenic shock (group A, n=11) and without cardiogenic shock (group B, n=9).
