Article Synopsis
- Transvenous temporary cardiac pacing (TTCP) is critical for patients experiencing bradycardia, with this study focusing on comparing those with myocardial infarction (MI) to those with other causes.
- The study analyzed 244 cases, finding that MI patients tended to be younger and had a higher rate of hypertension and heart failure, but did not have a higher rate of TTCP complications.
- In-hospital death rates were significantly higher for MI patients, indicating that the severity of MI, rather than the procedure itself, is linked to increased mortality risk.
Introduction: It is well known that chronic hyperglycemia or chronic inflammation leads to both FOXO1 and Ang-2 gene (ANGPT2) expression induction in endothelial cells. ANGPT2 and FOXO1 relative gene expression in peripheral blood cells in diabetes and myocardial ischemia were not researched extensively.
Aim: Our objective was to evaluate ANGPT2 and FOXO1 gene expression in peripheral blood cells in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), both with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and compare them to the results obtained from T2DM and control subjects.
Background: Renal denervation is a novel therapeutic option in resistant hypertension (RHT). The anatomy of renal arteries and the presence of additional renal arteries are important determinants of the effect of the procedure. The aim of this study was to assess the anatomy of renal arteries using angio- -computed tomography in patients with RHT, who were qualified for renal denervation.
