We recruited 327 consecutive patients with STEMI and multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD) who underwent primary PCI. We then assessed the severity of coronary atherosclerosis using coronary angiography and SYNTAX score. All patients were further stratified into two groups: 1) SYNTAX ≤22 points (n=213); 2) SYNTAX ≥23 points (n=114). Out of 327 patients included into initial analysis, 317 ...

This work proposes to adapt an existing general SMT model for the task of translating queries that are subsequently going to be used to retrieve information from a target language collection. In the scenario that we focus on access to the document collection itself is not available and changes to the IR model are not possible. We propose two ways to achieve the adaptation effect and both of the...

Background: Personalized prognosis plays a vital role in deciding between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients with three-vessel disease (3VD). The aim of this study is to compare the modality revascularization chosen by local heart team that recommended using individualized predictions medium, long-term all-cause mortality amongst 3VD screened Mul...

BACKGROUND In the elderly, the ankle-brachial index (ABI) has greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity for peripheral artery disease identification. A well-known relation exists between peripheral artery disease and the number of diseased coronary vessels. Yet, other anatomical characteristics have important impacts on the type of treatment and prognosis. PURPOSE To determine the relation...

OBJECTIVE Coronary angiography has a limitation to determine the severity of intermediate stenosis (30-70%)1,2. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a method for the assessment of the intermediate stenosis severity3. The effect of coronary artery disease (CAD) severity on the FFR results is not clear. In this study, we aimed to expose the effect of CAD severity calculated with Syntax and Gensini sc...
