Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of randomized trials on drug-eluting stents vs. bare-metal stents in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Adnan Kastrati,Alban Dibra,Christian Spaulding,Gerrit J Laarman,Maurizio Menichelli,Marco Valgimigli,Emilio Di Lorenzo,Christoph Kaiser,Ilkka Tierala,Julinda Mehilli,Melchior Seyfarth,Olivier Varenne,Maurits T.

TL;DR: The use of drug-eluting stents in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is safe and improves clinical outcomes by reducing the risk of reintervention compared with bare-metal stents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the culprit artery in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and introducing a new algorithm to predict infarct-related artery in inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction: correlation with coronary anatomy in the HAAMU Trial.
TL;DR: In "all-comers" withSTEMI, the culprit artery could be predicted by ECG criteria with high predictive values and in inferior STEMI, a new algorithm for culprit artery prediction was successfully tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreases by magnesium of QT dispersion and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Hannu Parikka,Lauri Toivonen,V. Naukkarinen,Ilkka Tierala,S. Pohjola-Sintonen,Juhani Heikkilä,Markku S. Nieminen +6 more
TL;DR: The decreased arrhythmicity is related to enhancement of homogeneity in repolarization, but not to attenuation of prevailing ischaemia, improvement of autonomic nervous derangements or myocardial salvage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunofluorometric point-of-care assays for the detection of acute coronary syndrome-related noncomplexed pregnancy-associated plasma protein A.
Saara Wittfooth,Qiu-Ping Qin,Juha Lund,Ilkka Tierala,Kari Pulkki,Harri Takalo,Kim Pettersson +6 more
TL;DR: The new immunofluorometric noncompetitive dry-reagent assays revealed that noncomplexed PAPP-A is found only in negligible amounts in non-ACS samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug-eluting stents in acute myocardial infarction: updated meta-analysis of randomized trials
Alban Dibra,Klaus Tiroch,Stefanie Schulz,Henning Kelbæk,Christian Spaulding,Gerrit J Laarman,Marco Valgimigli,Emilio Di Lorenzo,Christoph Kaiser,Ilkka Tierala,Julinda Mehilli,Gianluca Campo,Leif Thuesen,Maarten A. Vink,Martin J. Schalij,Roberto Violini,Albert Schömig,Adnan Kastrati +17 more
TL;DR: Use of drug-eluting stents in patients with AMI is safe and markedly reduces the need for reintervention as compared to bare-metal stents.
