The Predictive Value of ΣΔST/ΔHR Index for Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The Predictive Value of ΣΔST/ΔHR Index for Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

OBJECTIVE To find out the predictive value of the ΣΔST/ΔHR index for restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHOD Subjects of this research were patients who participated in a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program as six to eight weeks of a hospital-based program after receiving PCI to treat acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The patients received coronary angiography (CAG) at ...

In stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention

An Elevated Value of C-Reactive Protein is the Only Predictive Factor of Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

BACKGROUND The current techniques for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) remain limited by restenosis. Recent studies have provided evidence of inflammation playing a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. METHODS Whether inflammatory markers are predictors of subsequent restenosis were prospectively tested in 272 consecutive patients with angiographically proven coronary ...

Prognostic value of the Index of Microcirculatory Resistance measured after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

BACKGROUND Most methods for assessing microvascular function are not readily available in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The aim of this study is to determine whether the Index of Microcirculatory Resistance (IMR), measured at the time of primary percutaneous coronary intervention, is predictive of death and rehospitalization for heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS IMR was measured im...

Systematic Review of Chinese Herbal Medicines for Preventing in-Stent Coronary Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement is a standard treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD). In-stent restenosis after PCI remains a challenging clinical problem. In China, Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) are widely used for preventing restenosis. This paper systematically reviewed the literature on the effectiveness and safety of CHMs in preventing restenosis after ...
