This study evaluated the usefulness of this score to predict adverse outcomes in STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction) patients without atrial fibrillation. Primary end points were identified as MACE (major adverse cardiovascular events) which included in-hospital death or cerebrovascular accident. MACE rate was 10% (193 patients). The CHA₂DS₂-VASc score was an independent predictor of MACE (95% CI, 2.31 [1.37-3.9]; <i>P</i> = .0016).

Nevertheless, the optimal approach for managing aortic arch pathologies remains subject of debate. This meta-analysis compared outcomes between patients undergoing FET and those undergoing conventional aortic repair. Systematic searches were conducted up to February 2024. Pooled results of short and long-term outcomes were computed. A systematic review identified 21 non-randomized studies encompassing 3240 patients. Short-term mortality was lower in FET recipients than in those undergoing conventional repair (OR [95% CI] = 0.58 [0.44-0.78], <i>P</i> < .01). Postoperative paraplegia incidence was higher in the FET cohort (OR = 1.85 [1.02-3.34], <i>P</i> = .04), while subgroup analysis showed no difference between the two groups in patients with acute aortic dissection. Long-term all-cause mortality was lower among FET recipients. Subgroup analysis showed FET was associated with reduced all-cause mortality (HR = 0.55 [0.39-0.79], <i>P</i> < .01) and aortic re-intervention (HR = 0.62 [0.39-0.99], <i>P</i> = .05) in acute aortic dissection patients.

This is the largest registry of coronary care unit (CCU) patients in Turkey (3157 patients admitted to CCU in 50 different centers). The study population was divided into two according to in-hospital survival status; 137 patients (4.3%) died in-hospital follow-up. A significant correlation was found between death and SII, CAR, NLR, and PNI but not for AIP and TGI in logistic regression.

Evidence demonstrates that inflammation plays a vital role in the development of CHD. The association between C-reactive protein (CRP), a representative inflammatory biomarker, and atherosclerosis (AS), CHD, and inflammation has attracted attention. Therefore, we conducted an extensive search on PubMed using the aforementioned terms as search criteria and identified a total of 1246 articles published from January 2000 to April 2024. Both review and research-based articles consistently indicate CRP as a risk enhancer for CVD, contributing to the refinement of risk stratification and early identification of apparently healthy at-risk populations. Additionally, CRP reflects disease progression and predicts the prognosis of recurrent cardiovascular events. Anti-inflammatory therapeutic strategies targeting CRP also provide new treatment options for patients. This review focuses on the link between CRP and CHD, highlighting how CRP is involved in the pathological progression of AS and its potential value for clinical applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"33197241273360"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141911532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
