Association between Serum Osteoprotegerin Levels and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
2021
International audience; Background. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, is one of the main biomarkers for vascular calcification. Aim. We aimed to evaluate the association between serum OPG levels and extent of coronary lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods. Consecutive patients hospitalized for an acute MI who underwent coronary angiography were included. SYNTAX score was calculated to assess the severity of coronary artery disease. The population was analysed in low (5 (3–6)), medium (11 (9–13)) and high (20 (18–23)) tertiles of SYNTAX score. Results. Among the 378 patients included, there was a gradual increa…
Plasma markers of platelet and polymorphonuclear leukocyte activation in young adults with acute myocardial infarction
2005
Our goal was to evaluate some plasma markers of platelet and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) activation in a group of young adults with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at the initial stage and after three months. We enrolled 49 AMI subjects aged<45 years and examined plasmatic levels of platelet factor 4 (PF4), β-thromboglobulin (β-TG), elastase and myeloperoxidase (MPO) using ELISA methods. PF4 and β-TG were increased, compared to control subjects, both at the initial stage and after 3 months. In control subjects and in AMI patients, at both times of observation, there was a significant and positive correlation between the two platelet parameters, while no correlation was present betwe…

Stymulacja pęczka Hisa u osoby starszej z proksymalnym blokiem przedsionkowo-komorowym po zawale mięśnia sercowego
2018
Stymulacja pęczka Hisa (HBP) umożliwia synchronizację przedsionkowo-komorową i międzykomorową. W opisanym przypadku zwrócono uwagę na związek między poziomem bloku, synchronią komorową oraz funkcją rozkurczową u chorego z umiarkowaną dysfunkcją skurczową lewej komory świeżo po zawale serca. HBP jest korzystna w leczeniu zaburzeń przewodzenia i zapobieganiu dalszym zaburzeniom funkcji skurczowej i rozkurczowej. W artykule przedstawiono przypadek 92-letniego mężczyzny w bardzo dobrym stanie psychofizycznym z napadowym blokiem przedsionkowo-komorowym II stopnia i utrwalonym długim odstępem PR w przebiegu zawału mięśnia sercowego bez uniesienia odcinka ST-T, leczonego angioplastyką gałęzi okala…
The influence of severe mitral regurgitation on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events after myocardial infarction in 1-year follow-up: Dat…
2023
Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is frequently observed in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, the incidence of severe MR in contemporary population is unknown. Aims: The study evaluates the prevalence and prognostic impact of severe MR in contemporary population of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods: The study group consists of 8062 patients enrolled in the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes over the years 2017‒2019. Only the patients with full echocardiography performed during the index hospitalization were eligible. Primary composite outcome was 12-month major a…
Three-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction in patients with different diabetic status
2021
Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is estimated at about 25%. Short and long-term prognoses are worse in DM and hyperglycemia compared with non-diabetics. Objectives: Our aim was to analyze the impact of DM and transient hyperglycemia on in-hospital complications and long-term outcomes in MI patients. Patients and Methods: We evaluated a prospective cohort of 58,394 MI patients in the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome in terms of in-hospital complications and 30-day, 12-month, and 36-month outcomes between 2009–2012. Results: Type 1 and 2 DM patients underwent invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures less frequen…
Opieka koordynowana po zawale serca. Stanowisko Polskiego Towarzystwa Kardiologicznego oraz Agencji Oceny Technologii Medycznych i Taryfikacji
2016
The in-hospital mortality following myocardial infarction has decreased substantially over the last two decades in Poland. However, according to the available evidence approximately every 10th patient discharged after myocardial infarction (MI) dies during next 12 months. We identified the most important barriers (e.g. insufficient risk factors control, insufficient and delayed cardiac rehabilitation, suboptimal pharmacotherapy, delayed complete myocardial revascularisation) and proposed a new nation-wide system of coordinated care after MI. The system should consist of four modules: complete revascularisation, education and rehabilitation programme, electrotherapy (including ICDs and BiVs …
Nawracające częstoskurcze komorowe w przebiegu zawału NSTEMI utrzymujące się pomimo rewaskularyzacji i zastosowanej farmakoterapii
2018
Przedstawiamy pacjenta z nawracającymi niestabilnymi hemodynamicznie częstoskurczami komorowymi w okresie zawału mięśnia sercowego bez uniesienia odcinka ST powikłanego niewydolnością krążenia. Komorowe zaburzenia rytmu utrzymywały się pomimo wdrożonej farmakoterapii przeciwniewydolnościowej, zastosowania amiodaronu i przeprowadzonej rewaskularyzacji. W związku z tym zastosowano niestandardową farmakoterapię oraz metody zabiegowe takie jak ablacja endowaskularna i implantacja kardiowertera-defibrylatora.
The Sick Adipose Tissue: New Insights Into Defective Signaling and Crosstalk With the Myocardium
2021
Adipose tissue (AT) biology is linked to cardiovascular health since obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and positively correlated with excessive visceral fat accumulation. AT signaling to myocardial cells through soluble factors known as adipokines, cardiokines, branched-chain amino acids and small molecules like microRNAs, undoubtedly influence myocardial cells and AT function via the endocrine-paracrine mechanisms of action. Unfortunately, abnormal total and visceral adiposity can alter this harmonious signaling network, resulting in tissue hypoxia and monocyte/macrophage adipose infiltration occurring alongside expanded intra-abdominal and epicardial fat depots seen …
Association of child maltreatment subtypes and long-term physical health in a German representative sample
2018
ABSTRACT Background: Child maltreatment is a major public problem, associated with enormous consequences on the individual and socioeconomic level. Studies show a clear impact of child maltreatment on long-term physical health. However, there is a lack of analyses comprising a wide variety of subtypes of maltreatment and addressing cumulative effects of different maltreatment subtypes experienced during childhood on physical health. Objective: The objective of this analysis was to assess the association of different subtypes and the intensity of child maltreatment with long-term physical health outcomes. Methods: In a cross-sectional observational approach, a representative sample of the Ge…
