Background: Heart failure had emerged as a major public health problem and became the leading cause of hospitalization. The Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE) of US patients hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of acute decompensated heart Failure (ADHF) had been reported worldwide for the risk stratification and predicting In-hospital mortality.
Objective: Identify clinical risk factors or treatment procedures that could predict In-hospital mortality in Thai patients with ADHF.
Introduction: Varied reasons existed for not offering reperfusion therapy in ST elevation myocardial infarction and results in poor outcomes, and if related factors could be delineated, corrective measures can be attempted.
Method: We compared variables between participants not receiving reperfusion therapy and those receiving single reperfusion therapy. Multivariate analysis examined the contribution of non-reperfusion therapy to death and factors related to it.
Objective: To determine baseline prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality in Thai patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
Material And Method: Among 5,537 NSTE-ACS patients enrolled in Thai Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry, a univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to estimate the relationship of baseline clinical variables and in-hospital mortality. Variables examined included demographics, history and presenting characteristics.
Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major health care syndrome that can financially burden patients throughout the world, including Thailand. Few studies purposed estimating the costs of treatment. The data from the ACS registry database represented the costs of hospital charges paid by ACS patients.

Objective: To study plasma homocysteine levels in ischemic stroke and compare it with age-and sex-matched controls, and to identify the association of plasma homocysteine and subtype of stroke.
Material And Method: The authors studied plasma homocysteine levels of ischemic stroke patients with clinical signs and symptoms of stroke as confirmed by CT scan and compared them with control subjects who presented with other diseases and no clinical signs and symptoms of stroke between June 2000- May 2001 in Prasat Neurological institute.
Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia, associated with low folate and low B12 levels, is known to be an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Only a few available data has been demonstrated in Thai patients.
Objective: To evaluate serum fasting homocysteine, folate and B12 levels whether to see they are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD).
