Widespread myocardial inflammation and infarct-related artery patency.
BACKGROUND Diffuse coronary vascular inflammation is associated with acute coronary syndromes. However, it is unknown whether inflammation also occurs within the myocardium. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the presence of activated cells in unaffected remote myocardium of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in comparison to the peri-infarct region from the same cases, ...
متن کاملLetter regarding article by Wang et al, "coronary artery spatial distribution of acute myocardial infarction occlusions".
BACKGROUND Acute coronary occlusions leading to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMIs) are due primarily to rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Present "vulnerable plaque" detection technology focuses on identifying individual plaques with no clear therapeutic plan beyond conventional risk factor reduction. We developed a spatial map of the distribution of acute coronary occlusion...
متن کاملLetter by Nezić et al regarding article, "The impact of diabetic status on coronary artery bypass graft patency: insights from the Radial Artery Patency Study".
BACKGROUND Despite worse outcomes in diabetics after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, studies have not examined graft patency in this high-risk group. This study examined the impact of diabetes on graft patency, 1-year postcoronary artery bypass grafting, using data from a multicenter randomized trial. METHODS AND RESULTS The Radial Artery Patency Study enrolled 561 patients undergoin...
متن کاملLetter by Salzberg et al regarding article, "Should off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting be abandoned?".
406 O ne of the most controversial areas of cardiac surgery has been whether off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) surgery is superior to traditional on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. On-pump CABG surgery has been an effective, safe, and time-proven technique and is the gold standard with which all other surgical revascular-ization methods have been compared. However,...
متن کاملLetter by Nedeltchev et al regarding article, "Short-term outcomes after symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion".
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies concerning internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion have focused on long-term prognosis. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate short-term outcomes of patients with symptomatic ICA occlusion. METHODS We used data from the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network on consecutive patients presenting to 11 stroke centers in Ontario. We included pati...
