Long-term prognosis associated with coronary calcification: observations from a registry of 25,253 patients.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to develop risk-adjusted multivariable models that include risk factors and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores measured with electron-beam tomography in asymptomatic patients for the prediction of all-cause mortality. BACKGROUND Several smaller studies have documented the efficacy of CAC testing for assessment of cardiovascular risk. Larger studies w...
متن کاملCirculating cardio-enriched microRNAs are associated with long-term prognosis
Background: Increased levels of cardio-enriched microRNAs (miRNAs) have been described in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We wanted to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic potential of cardio-enriched miRNAs in patients presenting with a suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Cardio-enriched miRNAs (miR-1, miR-208b and miR-499-5p) were measured using real time PCR in plas...
متن کاملRed cell distribution width is associated with long-term prognosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Data regarding the association between red cell distribution width (RDW) values and mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease are scarce. We aimed to investigate the link between mortality and RDW in patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We analyzed 2550 consecutive patients with stable coronary art...
متن کاملEvaluating long-term outcomes of coronary angioplasty with or without post-dilatation
Introduction: Post-dilatation is associated with a simultaneous expansion of the stents that enhances the angioplasty outcomes. However, increased risk of mortality and morbidity has been reported in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) which has provoked considerable controversies concerning its efficiency. Materials and Methods: During a two-...
متن کاملLong-term prognosis of complete percutaneous coronary revascularisation in patients with diabetes with multivessel disease.
OBJECTIVE There is a paucity of data on the impact of complete revascularisation (CR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients with diabetes with multivessel coronary disease. In this study, we assess the impact of CR, using a relatively simple anatomical definition, on long-term outcomes (median follow-up 7.9 years) in patients with diabetes, and compare with patients ...
