Background: Spontaneous reperfusion (SR) occurring before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) can offer additional clinical benefits to patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The Platelet-to-White Blood Cell Ratio (PWR) has been recognized as a prognostic indicator in various diseases. We aimed to explore the relationship between PWR and SR in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI.

Methods: Participants lacking a pre-existing diagnosis of hypertension but displaying increased office blood pressure were included in this study. Subsequently, they were classified as either newly diagnosed sustained hypertension (SustHT) or white coat hypertension (WCH) patients, as determined by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring measurements.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores how inflammation affects outcomes in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), specifically looking at in-hospital mortality and the modified Naples prognostic score (mNPS).
- The research included 2,576 STEMI patients and analyzed various inflammatory markers, finding that higher levels of these markers, particularly mNPS, were linked to increased in-hospital mortality.
- Results indicate that mNPS not only predicts in-hospital mortality more effectively than other inflammatory indices but also provides a net clinical benefit in assessing patient risk during hospitalization.
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus produces severe acute respiratory syndrome. The severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is determined by a number of factors, including inherited ones.
Objectives: Our goal is to investigate the link between (rs2285666) and (rs14035430) gene polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients with and without lung involvement.
