Is the corrected TIMI frame count an independent predictor of adverse outcome?
Independent Predictor of Adverse Outcome? To the Editor: The corrected TIMI frame count (cTFC) has evolved into a standard measurement in many angiographic core laboratories. Although the reproducibility of the cTFC has been demonstrated,1,2 its superiority to TIMI flow grading has remained in question. Work done in our core laboratory has not found the cTFC to have predictive value independent...
متن کاملImportance of the TIMI frame count: implications for future trials
Although the TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow grade classification scheme is widely used to assess angiographic outcomes, it is limited by poor reproducibility and its categoric nature. The corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) is a simple, more objective continuous variable index of coronary blood flow that can be broadly and inexpensively applied. This measure of the time for dye...
متن کاملStroke Location Is an Independent Predictor of Cognitive Outcome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE On top of functional outcome, accurate prediction of cognitive outcome for stroke patients is an unmet need with major implications for clinical management. We investigated whether stroke location may contribute independent prognostic value to multifactorial predictive models of functional and cognitive outcomes. METHODS Four hundred twenty-eight consecutive patients wi...
متن کاملLeukocyte count as an independent predictor of recurrent ischemic events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inflammatory markers predict first-time ischemic events. We investigated whether leukocyte and differential counts predict recurrent events and ischemic events in high-risk populations, and whether such events are preceded by acutely exacerbated inflammation. METHODS We studied 18 558 patients with ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, or peripheral arterial disease w...
متن کاملTIMI frame count immediately after primary coronary angioplasty as a predictor of functional recovery in patients with TIMI 3 reperfused acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether higher coronary blood flow, estimated by the corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC), is related to better functional and clinical outcome after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Experimental studies have f...
