Effects of stress hyperglycemia ratio upon long-lasting prognosis in coronary artery disease patients with or lacking chronic renal impairment: findings from a Chinese multi-center observational study.

Diabetol Metab Syndr

December 2024

Department of Cardiology, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510080, China.

Background: Lately, numerous researches have portrayed stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is predominantly connected with short-term adverse prognosis among individuals who have acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, the relation of SHR with prolonged effects and the value of SHR in predicting in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or lacking chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear. The present study was designed to elucidate the relation of SHR with prolonged prognosis and the value of SHR in predicting the long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death of CAD patients with CKD or non-CKD.

Background: We sought consensus among practising respiratory physicians on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a modified Delphi process.

Methods: Following a literature review, statements on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression of ILD were developed by a panel of physicians with specialist expertise. Practising respiratory physicians were sent a survey asking them to indicate their level of agreement with these statements on a binary scale or 7-point Likert scale (- 3 to 3), or to select answers from a list.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemia, the imaging test of choice to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia as chest computed tomography (CT). However, access was limited in the hospital setting and patients treated in Primary Care (PC) could only access the chest x-ray as an imaging test. Several scientific articles that demonstrated the sensitivity of lung ultrasound, being superior to chest x-ray [Cleverley J et al.

Background: Wide QRS complex tachycardia (WCT) differentiation into ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia (SWCT) remains challenging despite numerous 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria and algorithms. Automated solutions leveraging computerized ECG interpretation (CEI) measurements and engineered features offer practical ways to improve diagnostic accuracy. We propose automated algorithms based on (i) WCT QRS polarity direction (WCT Polarity Code [WCT-PC]) and (ii) QRS polarity shifts between WCT and baseline ECGs (QRS Polarity Shift [QRS-PS]).

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD), primarily caused by atherosclerosis, is a leading cause of death, presenting as angina or myocardial infarction. Advances in cardiac imaging, angiography, and procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery have improved early detection and management of this condition. This report presents the case of a man who experienced worsening exertional chest pain and discomfort while at rest.
