Article Synopsis
- Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is essential for managing acute and chronic coronary syndromes, helping to lower mortality rates and prevent further complications.
- A study followed 1500 patients on a specific fixed-dose DAPT (ASA + clopidogrel) to evaluate its effectiveness and safety, primarily focusing on hospitalization and bleeding risks.
- Results indicated that the fixed-dose combination therapy was effective, with low rates of hospitalization for cardiovascular issues and minimal bleeding complications in appropriately selected patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed various immune and inflammatory indices to see how they predict in-hospital mortality in coronary care unit patients in Turkey, involving a large sample size of 3,157.
- Out of these patients, 137 (4.3%) died during their hospital stay, with significant correlations found between mortality and several indices like the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI).
- Notably, when combining these indices, only the CAR significantly improved the predictive model for in-hospital mortality compared to the initial set of risk predictors.
Objective: The MORtality in CORonary Care Units in Türkiye (MORCOR-TURK) trial is a national registry evaluating predictors and rates of in-hospital mortality in coronary care unit (CCU) patients in Türkiye. This report describes the baseline demographic characteristics of patients recruited for the MORCOR-TURK trial.
Methods: The study is a multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective national registry that included 50 centers capable of 24-hour CCU service, selected from all seven geographic regions of Türkiye.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the major health problems worldwide. CAD severity, as calculated by SYNTAX score (SS), is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. A new symptom of shortness of breath within 30 s while bending forward is described as bendopnea and is related to elevated cardiac filling pressure.

As current treatment and prevention methods are less effective in this patient group, there is a need for new treatment methods in this area. Exercise, which reduces metabolic and vascular problems associated with diabetes, often becomes impossible, especially in advanced-stage patients who need exercise the most.

Although fQRS in lateral leads is shown to be associated with a poor outcome in patients with a known cardiac disease, the knowledge about the significance and prevalence of fQRS in inferior leads is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of fQRS in inferior leads in healthy young men.
