Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is obtained by multiplying the platelets by the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes. We aimed to examine the relationship between contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) development and SII in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. 1124 NSTEMI patients included and divided into two groups according to the development of CIN. The relationship between SII and CIN development was examined. Among two groups, significant differences were observed in terms of age, chronic renal failure, presence of critical stenoses in the LAD, SII and C-reactive protein (CRP). It was calculated that a value of 709 and above for SII had a predictive power with 74% sensitivity and 74% specificity for CIN. SII has the potential to predict the development of CIN in NSTEMI patients.

Introduction: Contemporary data regarding the impact of war on cardiovascular disease is scarce. The Israel-Gaza war that erupted on October 7th, 2023, provided a tragic opportunity to explore the effect of war on the epidemiology, characteristics, and management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) living in areas of active armed conflict.
Methods: All patients admitted with ACS to our medical center, between October 7th, 2023, and January 6th, 2024, were retrospectively included.

Background: Managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease on dialysis (renal replacement therapy, RRT) presents challenges due to elevated complication risks. Concerns about contrast-related kidney damage may lead to the omission of guideline-directed therapies like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in this population.
Methods: We analysed German-DRG data of 2016 provided by the German Federal Bureau of Statistics (DESTATIS).

Background: The involvement of inflammation in the start and advancement of atherosclerotic plaques in acute coronary syndrome has been clarified. White blood cell count and its differential are key inflammatory markers in cardiovascular disease, with the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) emerging as a marker of inflammation and a predictor of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The study aims to investigate the utility of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and other complete blood count parameters as a risk stratification tool and independent predictor of Global Registry for Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in Non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Risk factors of mortality in patients with AMI have been widely investigated, identifying older age and heart failure as common contributors. This study aimed to determine risk factors and explore predictors associated with higher mortality among patients with AMI.
