Clinical significance of macrophage colony stimulating factor levels in acute coronary syndrome.

Aim. The aim of this paper was to ascertain whether macrophage colony stimulating factor (MCSF) serum levels, measured during the acute phase of coronary syndromes (ACS), are useful to predict short term outcomes. Methods. Seventy-four consecutive patients (mean age: 66±12), admitted to the Intensive Coronary Care Unit of Palermo University Hospital (Italy) affected by ACS were observed; 39 patients showed a non ST elevation (NSTEMI) and 35 showed a ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). During the hospital stay, all patients underwent echocardiography and 84% of patients received coronary angiography. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected for the determination of serum levels…

VALUTAZIONE ANGIOGRAFICA DELLA RIPERFUSIONE MIOCARDICA IN PAZIENTI CON INFARTO MIOCARDICO ACUTO TRATTATI CON ANGIOPLASTICA PRIMARIA

Scopo L'obiettivo del presente studio è quello di valutare se, nella popolazione in esame, il Myocardial Blush Grade e gli altri parametri angiografici siano correlati ad altri indici clinici dopo la riapertura dell'arteria epicardica. Materiali e metodi Il presente studio consiste in una valutazione retrospettiva dei parametri angiografici, in relazione a dati ecocardiografici ed elettrocardiografici, di una popolazione osservata comprendente 118 pazienti, tra Febbraio 2003 e Giugno 2007, con sopraslivellamento del tratto ST > 1 mm in almeno due derivazioni elettrocardiografiche vicine, sottoposti ad angioplastica primaria nel nostro Dipartimento. Risultati Dopo PCI, un flusso TIMI 3 è sta…
