INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES We sought to compare the predictive value of the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI), Controlled Abciximab and Device Investigation to Lower Late Angioplasty Complications (CADILLAC), Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI), and Global Registry for Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores for the outcome of ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrom...

the purpose of this study was to analyse the prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis risk factors and to analyse the t-score variability in spine and hip according to the associated risk factors.this is a retrospective study (2003-2007) including 177 female patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. the patients were separated in seven groups according to the number of risk factors per case. ...

OBJECTIVES Clinical-diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mismatch (CDM) in patients with anterior circulation occlusions is an optional method used to select patients for recanalisation outside the 3-h time window. A similar concept has not been reported with posterior circulation occlusions. METHODS CDM was defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score <8 with DWI lesions not located in ...

Abstract Background Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) is used to predict the mortality rate patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). TIMI was developed limited data on Asian cohort and based Western cohort. STEMI NSTEMI have separate scores. There has been research ACS using interpretable machine learning (ML) algorithms. Purpose To construct a single 30-day risk scoring system, ...

Background: Patients with right ventricular infarction is a critical condition and may cause adverse cardiac events.&#x0D; Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare in-hospital complications among patients based on TIMI risk score.&#x0D; Methodology: This prospective observational conducted in Department Cardiology, National Institute Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Dhaka, Ban...

with an acute STEMI, the optimal treatment is usually clear-proceed to PCI immediately. The situation is less clear with unstable angina and NSTEMI's, a heterogeneous group of acute coronary syndromes with a wide spectrum of risk for death and cardiac ischemic events. Prognostication of risk in these patients is critical as it can dictate optimal therapy and location of treatment (outpatient vs...

Pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow has been identified as a predictor of final TIMI grade 3 flow and better survival. Yet pharmacologic strategies increasing the rates of pre-PCI TIMI grade 3 flow resulted in more bleeding, without a benefit in survival. The aim of this study was to identify the predictors and implications of s...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous coronary reperfusion with TIMI-3 flow is associated with favorable clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We investigated the ability of analyzing cardiac cycle-dependent variation of myocardial integrated backscatter (IBS) for predicting spontaneous reperfusion in anterior AMI. METHODS AND RESULTS We recorded IBS images on admission in 10...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether higher coronary blood flow, estimated by the corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC), is related to better functional and clinical outcome after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Experimental studies have f...

OBJECTIVE We recently described the CHA2DS2-VASc-HS score as a novel predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) severity in stable CAD patients. We aimed to assess the accuracy of the CHA2DS2-VASc-HS score in the determination of CAD severity and complexity and its availability in the risk stratification of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in non-ST elevation acute coronar...
