BACKGROUND/AIM The thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score (TRS), and the TIMI risk index (TRI) have been reported in coronary artery disease patients. We investigated whether admission TRI is associated with no-reflow (NRF) in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI). MATERIALS AND METHODS ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patien...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to develop a practical risk score to predict the risk and implications of major bleeding in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic complications have been strongly linked with subsequent mortality in patients with ACS. METHODS A total of 17,421 patients with ACS (including non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [MI], ST-segment el...

introduction: no-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (mi), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of n...

BACKGROUND Different grading systems of arterial recanalisation have never been compared in large series of stroke patients treated with intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT). METHODS Clinical and angiographic findings and outcome were analysed in 147 patients with M1 or M2 segment occlusion of the middle cerebral artery treated with IAT. Associations of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction ...

Abstract Background Thrombolysis in Myocardial infarction (TIMI) is used predicting the mortality rate of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. TIMI was developed based on Western cohort with limited data Asian cohort. There are separate scores for STEMI and NSTEMI. Deep learning (DL) machine (ML) algorithms such as support vector (SVM) population-specific dataset resulted a higher area under...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Recently we reported that prolongation of the corrected QT (CTc) interval is an independent risk factor in patients with unstable angina and acute ischemic changes. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of this variable in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome who do not exhibit acute ischemic changes on admission ECG. ...

BACKGROUND Primary angioplasty is the most effective treatment of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, its worldwide implementation is difficult to obtain. Therefore thrombolysis continues to be the treatment most commonly used. AIM To evaluate in-hospital and long term mortality of patients with STEMI treated with thrombolysis or angioplasty, in three hospitals ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Stratification algorithms for acute coronary syndrome enable the identification of high-risk patients who will benefit from more aggressive treatment. The TIMI Risk Score (TRS) has been shown to be useful in intermediate- and high-risk patients. However, little is known about its value in non-selected patients. Our aim was to assess the efficacy of the TRS for risk s...
