TL;DR: Higher heart rate was the most important baseline clinical predictor of nonhemorrhagic stroke, followed by older age, prior anterior myocardial infarction, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, and diabetes mellitus, and these factors were used to develop a simple scoring nomogram that can predict the risk ofNonhemor rhagic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short- and Long-Term Mortality After Myocardial Infarction in Patients With and Without Diabetes: Changes from 1985 to 2008
TL;DR: Temporal mortality reductions after MI between 1985 and 2008 were at least as high in patients with diabetes compared with those without diabetes, however, long-term mortality remained higher in diabetic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-hospital triage of patients with suspected myocardial infarction. Evaluation of previously developed algorithms and new proposals.
E. W. M. Grijseels,Jaap W. Deckers,A. W. Hoes,J. A. M. Hartman,E. van der Does,E. Van Loenen,M. L. Simoons +6 more
TL;DR: A new practical hospital admission model was developed, based on six clinical predictors, including analysis of an electrocardiogram, which may lead to better triage decisions by the general practitioner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal intensity of oral anticoagulant therapy after myocardial infarction
Aida J. Azar,Suzanne C. Cannegieter,Jaap W. Deckers,Ernest Briët,Paul F.M.M. van Bergen,J. J. C. Jonker,Frits R. Rosendaal +6 more
TL;DR: If equal weight is given to hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications, these results suggest that the optimal intensity of long-term anticoagulant therapy for myocardial infarction patients lies between 2.0 and 4.0.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic adjudication of myocardial infarction end-points in an international clinical trial.
Kenneth W. Mahaffey,Robert A. Harrington,Martijn Akkerhuis,Neal S. Kleiman,Lisa G. Berdan,Brian S. Crenshaw,Barbara E. Tardiff,Christopher B. Granger,Ingrid DeJong,Manju Bhapkar,Petr Widimsky,Ramón Corbalon,Kerry L. Lee,Jaap W. Deckers,Maarten L. Simoons,Eric J. Topol,Robert M. Califf +16 more
TL;DR: End-point adjudication by a CEC is important, to provide standardised, systematic, independent, and unbiased assessment of end-points, particularly in trials that span geographic regions and clinical practice settings.
