1. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were more likely to occur in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) with an optical coherence tomography–identified high-risk fractional flow reserve–negative nonculprit plaque than without after two years. 2. The existence of a high-risk plaque was linked to a twofold rise in the risk of MACE, primarily due to higher
Aspirin is typically given after PCI for acute coronary syndrome but can lead to major bleeding. Colchicine appears to be safer and may be equally efficacious, pilot data suggest.
Outcomes for in-hospital mortality were compared between adult patients, women vs men, among those who had both acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and heart-related mechanical complications (MC).
A real-world study has potentially validated a risk model put forward by the European Society of Cardiology for management of acute coronary syndromes without persistent ST-segment elevation.
1. The immediate revascularization group met the noninferiority criteria for the primary composite outcome, but superiority at the 1-year follow-up was not met. 2. A marked reduction in myocardial infarction was noted in the immediate revascularization group compared to the staged revascularization group.
