Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular issues linked to anti-malarial treatments are rare but can have severe consequences, such as Brugada syndrome, which can lead to life-threatening heart rhythms.
- A case study of a 23-year-old male revealed that he experienced heart palpitations, fainting, and shortness of breath after switching malaria medications, leading to the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome.
- The case underscores the potential risk of serious arrhythmias from both malaria itself and the anti-malarial drugs, stressing the importance of cardiac monitoring during treatment.
Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major cardiovascular problem due to its high hospitalization and mortality rates. One of the risk factors for atherosclerosis that leads to ACS is insulin resistance (IR) which plays a role in the pathogenesis and development of cardiovascular events. This study aims to determine the relationship between IR and in-hospital outcomes in non-diabetic patients with ACS.

This study aimed to determine the effect of serum uric acid levels on the incidence of AKI in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study with a cross sectional design was performed.
