Acute myocardial infarction with high Killip class: do geographic differences matter?

Prediction of Survival after Myocardial Infarction Using Killip Class

Background: Short and long term predictions of mortality and survival after a myocardial infarction (MI) are important in order to assist physicians in their decision about optimal treatment. We considered the utility of Killip class and other risk factors in the prediction of cardiac death after a MI. Methods: One hundred and eighty two patients with myocardial infarctions were studied over a ...

study of serum uric acid levels in myocardial infarction and its association with killip class

the present study aimed to compare the serum level of uric acid in patients with and without heart failure and also to determine the association between uric acid level and clinical status by killip class in patients with stemi. this case-control study was conducted on 50 consecutives as control group and 50 patients with acute heart failure, (20 patients had acute stemi), who documented by bot...

High Lipoprotein(a) Levels are Associated With Long-Term Adverse Outcomes in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients in High Killip Classes

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES An elevated concentration of lipoprotein(a) {Lp(a)} is associated with an increased prevalence and increased severity of coronary artery disease. However, the relationship between Lp(a) levels and outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is unclear. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Between October 2005 and June 2007, we measured serum Lp(a) levels in 832 consecutive AMI ...

Do growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 affect prognosis in patients with killip I and II class acute myocardial infarction?

We investigated concentrations and roles of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and its binding protein (IGF1BP-3), growth hormone (GH), insulin, and markers of insulin resistance and inflammation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to assess any possible association between serum GH/IGF-1 axis following AMI and short-term survival rates. A follow up study was performed in 2010. Stu...
