Review: invasive management after unstable angina or non-ST-segment elevation MI does not reduce risk for death or MI.

M e t h o d s Data sources: MEDLINE and EMBASE/ Excerpta Medica (1966 to September 2003), and bibliographies of relevant articles. Study selection and assessment: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), published in English, that compared invasive and noninvasive strategies for early management of patients with unstable angina or NSTEMI; had ≥ 3-month follow-up; and reported mortality, reinfarctio...

Predictors of mortality in ST-elevation MI patients

We aimed to define factors predicting mortality in patients having ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in our setting.This is a prospective study on patients presenting to the emergency department with STEMI who underwent PCI during a 12-month period. Physiological parameters were calculated using the vital signs and age of patient...

Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy is not associated with increased in-hospital adverse events in patients experiencing first non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: A single center study

Background: There is conflicting data about prognostic implication of electrocardiographic (ECG) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with first non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to examine the association of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on admission electrocardiogram with adverse outcomes in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: In the present study, ...
