Association Between Novel Pro- and Anti- Inflammatory Adipocytokines in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Background And Aims: Novel pro- and anti-inflammatory adipocytokines affect inflammation, energy metabolism, and insulin signaling. However, their role in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) development is unclear. We evaluated the diagnostic and risk predictive value of such adipocytokines for ACS.

Predictive Value of CHADS -VASc-HSF Score for Severity of Acute Coronary Syndrome.

CHADS and CHADS-VASc scores have been used to assess the prognostic risk of thromboembolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients. Recent studies have shown the utility of CHADS and CHADS-VASc scores for evaluating the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). The newly defined CHADS-VASc-HSF score evaluates atherosclerosis and is associated with CAD severity.
