Épidémiologie du syndrome coronaire aigu en Europe

2007

Epidemiological data concerning acute coronary syndromes in Europe are based on national registries, studies by the European Society of Cardiology within the framework of the EuroHeart Survey and on the study of European population sub-groups in large international cohorts. In this article, recently published studies will be reviewed, and the principal developments in different countries as well as the characteristics and particularities of the most recent epidemiological data will be highlighted. In Europe, the presentation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has evolved considerably over the last ten years. This evolution is characterized by a reduction in the proportion of acute coronary s…

We have read with a great interest the article by Fernandez-Jimenez et al presenting a bimodal edematous reaction of reperfused myocardium after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 According to the study, the initial edema emerges early and disappears by 24 hours; however, the second edema appears between days 4 and 7 after reperfusion. The authors conclude that the assessment of …

0053: Incidence of cardiovascular events following myocardial infarction in France: an observational analysis using a claims database

2016

Objectives To describe the characteristics and treatments of patients having a myocardial infarction (MI) and estimate the incidence of cardiovascular events following the index MI, in the French Health Insurance database. Method A cohort of patients who had a MI in France between 2007 and 2011 was extracted from a claim database: the Echantillon Generaliste de Beneficiaires (a 1% representative sample of subjects covered by the general health insurance (?600,000 patients). The incidence of cardiovascular events following the index MI was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method. Results 1,977 subjects were identified with an index myocardial MI: 2/3 were males, mean age=67.2 y, 20.6% had di…

Long-Term Clinical Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Ostial/Midshaft Lesions in Unprotecte…

2014

Objectives The aim of this study was to report the long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for ostial/midshaft lesions in an unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA). Background Data regarding outcomes in these patients are limited. Methods Of a total of 2,775 patients enrolled in the DELTA multinational registry, 856 patients with isolated ostial/midshaft lesions in an ULMCA treated by PCI with DES (n = 482) or CABG (n = 374) were analyzed. Results At a median follow-up period of 1,293 days, there were no significant differences in the propensity score-adjusted analyses for …

Diffusionsgewichtetes MRT bei vertebrobasil�ren Isch�mien

2004

The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability, sensitivity, and predictive power of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of vertebrobasilar infarction. From 1997 to 2002, we prospectively recruited 268 patients with acute signs and symptoms suspective of vertebrobasilar ischemia. The patients underwent biplanar EPI-T2 and EPI DWI within 24 h after onset of symptoms and high-resolution MRI as a control within 7 days. One hundred twenty-one patients had additional CT scanning. The DWI revealed acute vertebrobasilar infarction in 71.0%. The mean time exposure of DWI was 8 min and thus no more than that of CT imaging. It showed significantly more acute lesions than CT …

Platelet Function Changes In Acute Myocardial Infarction

1981

Whether the thrombotic component of myocardial infarction is primary or secondary in a given patient, platelet function alterations can influence many mechanism from which depends if the thrombotic lesion grows or sends platelet emboli to the smaller myocardial vessels. Recently in some cases of infarction, coronary artery spasm has been demonstrated angiographically; thromboxanes, vasoconstrictive and platelet-aggregating substances, are released by platelets during myocardial ischemia. The local release of these substances may modify the myocardial cell viability and regional blood flow.The aim of the present study was to investigate changes in platelet function in relation to the time in…

P4550Growth differentiation factor 15 as an integrative biomarker of heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction

2019

Abstract Background Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a stress-responsive cytokine member of the transforming growth factor-β family, is an emerging biomarker in cardiovascular (CV) diseases. GDF15 is weakly expressed in normal condition but increased in pathological situations such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and left ventricular remodeling. Recent data suggest GDF15 as a marker in heart failure (HF). Purpose We aimed to identify the determinants of GDF15 circulating levels in patients admitted for an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods In our prospective study, all consecutive patients admitted from June 2016 to February 2018 for type 1 AMI in the Coronary Care unit …
