Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction in the United States and Canada: comparison of patients enrolled in Global Utilization of Streptokinase and t-PA for Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO)-I.

TL;DR: The results suggest, for the first time, that the more conservative pattern of care with regard to early revascularization in Canada for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction may have a detrimental effect on long-term survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extent of ST-segment depression and cardiac events in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.

TL;DR: In patients with NSTE ACS, the sum of ST-segment depression in all ECG leads is a powerful predictor of all-cause mortality at 30 days, independent of clinical variables and correlates with the extent and severity of coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential impact of evidence-based medicine in acute coronary syndromes: insights from GUSTO-IIb

TL;DR: There is significant room for improvement in the use of recommended drugs in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes, and medication use that more closely follows recommendations could reduce mortality in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectrum of mutations in monogenic diabetes genes identified from high-throughput DNA sequencing of 6888 individuals

TL;DR: The results confirm that MODY is under-diagnosed, particularly in individuals presenting with early onset diabetes and clinically labeled as type 2 diabetes; thus, sequencing of all monogenic diabetes genes should be routinely considered in such individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduction in Myocardial Infarct Size by Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor After Temporary Coronary Occlusion in a Canine Model

TL;DR: The data suggest that bFGF mediates myocardial salvage independently of angiogenesis and that reperfusion after infarction may attenuate the stimulus for neovascularization.
