The review covers issues of epidemiology, diagnostics, management strategy, and treatment outcomes in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome. Numerous factors affecting the choice of an invasive strategy are analyzed as well as its correspondence to existing recommendations of patient's management. The stratification of risk of development of adverse coronary events, which is a part of the formation of a treatment strategy, is discussed.

Background: Specialist cardiac care has been shown to reduce inpatient mortality following non-ST segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), but whether this benefit extends beyond index admission is unclear.

Methods: Using the linked Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) registry, and Office for National Statistics mortality recording, we included 425,205 NSTEMI patients admitted to UK hospitals, between January 2005 and March 2019 that survived to discharge. 217,964 (52 %) were admitted to a specialty cardiac ward.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate whether newly defined serum uric acid (SUA) to serum creatinine ratio (SUA/SCr) predicts no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) development in patients with non-ST-elevated acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).

Methods: The study group was divided into two groups: those who developed NRP and those who did not. Complete blood counts, SUA, serum creatinine, C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin were obtained at admission.

When acute myocardial infarction meets renal abscess: Case report and literature review.

Medicine (Baltimore)

November 2024

Institute of Gerontology, Guangzhou Geriatric Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Rationale: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading global cause of death from cardiovascular disease, and the mortality rate increases in the presence of comorbidities such as renal abscess. The treatment of AMI combined with renal abscess is challenging, especially in combination with urinary tract obstruction, as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can lead to progression of the renal abscess and deterioration of renal function. Currently, there is no consensus on the treatment of renal abscess in AMI.

Background And Aims: Mounting evidence have implicated that rs1801131 and rs1801133, located in the Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, may emerge as novel biomarkers for coronary artery disease (CAD). The Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score is also an appropriate predictor for revascularization strategy in patients with complex CAD. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between rs1801131 and rs1801133 with the severity of coronary lesions in patients with ST‑Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and Non‑ST‑Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) based on the SYNTAX score.

Peak Procedural ACT Is Associated With All-Cause Mortality After Femoral Access PCI.

J Soc Cardiovasc Angiogr Interv

December 2024

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, University of California San Diego, San Diego, California.

Background: A minimum threshold activated clotting time (ACT) to guide heparin dosing during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower ischemic complications. However, data are variable regarding the risk of high ACT levels. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of peak procedural ACT on complications and mortality for transfemoral and transradial access PCI.
