Circulation Research is available at http://circres.ahajournals.org DOI: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.114.302744 Abstract: The appropriate timing of angiography to facilitate revascularization is essential to optimize outcomes in patents with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction and non–ST-segment–elevation acute coronary syndromes. Timely reperfusion of the infarct-related coronary artery in ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction both with fibrinolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention minimizes myocardial damage, reduces infarct size, and decreases morbidity and mortality. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the preferred reperfusion method if it can be performed in a timely manner. Strategies to reduce health system–related delays in reperfusion include regionalization of ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction care, performing prehospital ECGs, prehospital activation of the catheterization laboratory, bypassing geographically closer nonpercutaneous coronary intervention–capable hospitals, bypassing the percutaneous coronary intervention–capable hospital emergency department, and early and consistent availability of the catheterization laboratory team. With implementation of such strategies, there has been significant improvement in process measures, including doorto-balloon time. However, despite reductions in door-to-balloon times, there has been little change during the past several years in in-hospital mortality, suggesting additional factors including patient-related delays, optimization of tissue-level perfusion, and cardioprotection must be addressed to improve patient outcomes further. Early angiography followed by revascularization when appropriate also reduces rates of death, MI, and recurrent ischemia in patients with non–ST-segment–elevation acute coronary syndromes, with the greatest benefits realized in the highest risk patients. Among patients with non–ST-segment–elevation acute coronary syndromes with multivessel disease, choice of revascularization modality should be made as in stable coronary artery disease, with a goal of complete ischemic revascularization.

There are currently almost no genetic data associated with the acute coronary syndromes of unstable angina or myocardial infarction (MI). The only documented genetic variants associated with increased risk for MI, per se, are the A and B blood group variants. There are no genetic data differentially associated with ST segment elevation MI or non-ST segment elevation MI. Genetic variants predisp...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and other manifestations of atherosclerosis were not among the most common causes of death until the beginning of the 20th century, but thereafter a dramatic increase was observed in industrialized countries, including Western Europe and the United States, peaking around 1960 to 1980. Comparable increases in the incidence of CHD have later occurred or are currently ...

Lipoproteins represent major risk factors, both positive and negative, for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The major plasma lipid traits, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are all predictive of cardiovascular risk and have been considered targets for therapeutic intervention. Here, we specifically consider the ro...

Antithrombotic therapy is an essential part of the management of the full spectrum of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Both antiplatelets and anticoagulants seem to be necessary in the management of ACS (Figures 1 and 2), although the exact proportion of antithrombotic effect that each drug and class should ideally provide remains a matter of ongoing study. As a general principle, more potent an...

Prognostic value of C-Reactive Protein in Acute Coronary Syndromes

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...
