Journal ArticleDOI

Adherence to Medications by Patients After Acute Coronary Syndromes

TL;DR: Determining beliefs about illness and medication may be helpful in developing interventions aimed at improving adherence after ACS, as not all patients continue their drugs or take them exactly as prescribed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of transient and sustained increase in in-hospital creatinine on outcomes of patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome.

TL;DR: Independent of a history of renal insufficiency or increased admission creatinine, in-hospital worsening of renal function is an important risk factor for 6-month mortality in patients admitted with ACS and return to baseline function by discharge does not protect against this risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of pre-diabetic state on clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome

TL;DR: Admission plasma glucose was an independent predictor of non-fatal reinfarction, hospitalisation for heart failure, and a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) among non-diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of outcomes in acute coronary syndrome in patients receiving statins within 24 hours of onset versus at later times

TL;DR: Patients who had acute coronary syndrome and received statins <24 hours of presentation had lower incidences of death, stroke, reinfarction, heart failure, and pulmonary edema compared with delayed administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of combination evidence based medical treatment in patients with acute coronary syndromes in various TIMI risk groups.

TL;DR: The treatment effect of combination therapy in patients stratified according to their risk of future cardiovascular events according to the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score is assessed.
