Timing of and Risk Factors for Myocardial Ischemic Events After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (IMPACT-II)

TL;DR: The risk of ischemic events were greatest immediately after PCI and rapidly declined, so that by 9 hours the hazard function plot was flat; 66% of events occurred within 6 hours of PCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Restenosis—an open file

TL;DR: With increased understanding of the restenotic process and continued refinement of effective treatments, it may be possible one day to prevent stenosis recurrence and provide more pharmacologic and mechanical therapies targeting restenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prehospital administration of aspirin in patients with unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Since the potential benefits are great and the risks and costs are low, physicians should encourage the prehospital administration of aspirin in patients with symptoms suggestive of unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction.

Assessment of Coronary Reperfusion After Thrombolysis With a Model Combining Myoglobin, Creatine Kinase–MB, and Clinical Variables

TL;DR: A single myoglobin measurement obtained 90 minutes after the start of thrombolysis, combined with select clinical variables and creatine kinase-MB levels, enhances the noninvasive prediction of reperfusion after myocardial infarction.
