Article Synopsis
- - A study involving 1,840 Japanese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) identified two groups: those who experienced major bleeding and those who did not, over a 2-year follow-up period.
- - Out of the participants, 124 patients (6.7%) had major bleeding, which was linked to a significantly higher rate of cardiovascular deaths (26.4% vs. 8.5%).
- - Analysis through optical coherence tomography revealed that disrupted fibrous cap and calcified plaque were more common in patients who bled, with disrupted fibrous cap being a significant predictor of major bleeding.
The mechanisms behind poorer cardiac outcomes in underweight patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are not understood and features of coronary culprit lesions in underweight ACS patients have not been fully examined. A total of 1,683 patients with ACS were divided into 4 groups according to body mass index (BMI): <18.5 (n = 73), 18.
