TL;DR: Bedside tests for cardiac-specific troponins are highly sensitive for the early detection of myocardial-cell injury in acute coronary syndromes and allow rapid and safe discharge of patients with an episode of acute chest pain from the emergency room.

TL;DR: Early neurohumoral inhibition has similar beneficial effects in cerebral and in myocardial ischemia and when there is need for or no contraindication against early antihypertensive therapy, candesartan cilexetil is a safe therapeutic option according to the ACCESS results.

TL;DR: In this paper, patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction were randomly assigned to the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or control.

TL;DR: In selected patients with multivessel coronary disease, PTCA and CABG as initial treatments resulted in equivalent improvement in angina after one year, however, in order to achieve similar clinical outcomes, the patients treated with P TCA were more likely to require further interventions and antianginal drugs, whereas the patients treating with CABGs were morelikely to sustain an acute myocardial infarction at the time of the procedure.

TL;DR: A new hypothesis has been formulated for the pathogenesis of vitiligo based on a consistent reduction in levels of catalase compared to normal healthy controls of matched photo-skin types and a increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the epidermis of these patients.
