Background: In several developing industrial countries, the incidence of obesity among populations is spreading quickly and dramatically; also, the frequency of maternal obesity is in continuous elevation, which represents a considerable public health problem. Maternal hyperglycemia is a common gestational risk factor for the fetus. Several studies proposed that maternal DM and obesity lead to intrauterine impacts which induce changes in the fetal myocardium, and the pre-pregnancy obesity and diabetes are accompanied with development of cardiovascular alterations in the offspring and subsequent pathological changes in their early life.

Our objective of the current study was to investigate the incidence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN), the occurrence of no reflow phenomenon and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) after successful fibrinolytic therapy in order to assess the benefit from very early PCI strategy (within 3-12 hours) or early PCI strategy (within 12-24 hours).
Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 420 patients with STEMI.
Background: Stress hyperglycemia is a common finding during ST elevation myocardial infarction in diabetic patients and is associated with a worse outcome. However, there are limited data about stress hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients and its outcome especially in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods: The study was conducted on 660 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction who were managed with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
