Article Synopsis
  • INOCA, or ischaemia with no obstructive coronary arteries, poses a diagnostic and treatment challenge, linked to higher risks of death and cardiovascular issues, along with increased healthcare costs.
  • While awareness of INOCA is growing in Western populations, its prevalence and recognition in Asian populations are still unclear.
  • The review highlights barriers to diagnosing and managing INOCA, offering strategies to improve the situation.

Objective: To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and association with cardiovascular outcomes of patients who developed symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after non-emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: We conducted a single-institution retrospective study of patients who developed symptomatic ICH after non-emergency PCI. To identify associations between clinical variables and outcomes, Cox-proportional hazards regression models were constructed.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the impact of anaemia on long-term clinical outcomes in patients who underwent semi-urgent and elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in an Asian population. Although the effects of anaemia on outcomes in Asian patients are well studied for acute coronary syndrome, its impact on Asian patients undergoing semi-urgent and elective PCI is unclear.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent semi-urgent and elective PCI from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2015, at a tertiary academic centre.

Objective: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted nursing home care and activities in profound ways. We sought to understand whether the COVID-19 pandemic had any impact on hospital admissions of nursing home residents.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of hospital admissions of nursing home residents to a tertiary general hospital in Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was conducted and compared to admissions in the preceding year.

Objectives: Non-emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has lower risk of stroke than emergency PCI. With increasing elective PCI and increasing risk of stroke after PCI, risk factors for stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in non-emergency PCI and long-term outcomes needs to be better characterised. We aim to identify risk factors for cerebrovascular accidents in patients undergoing non-emergency PCI and long-term outcomes after stroke or TIA.

Introduction: The effects of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on outcomes in patients undergoing semi-urgent and elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are unclear. This study aims to investigate impact of CKD on long-term outcomes of this population.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent semi-urgent and elective PCI from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2015 at a tertiary academic center.
