C-reactive protein improves risk prediction in patients with acute coronary syndromes

TL;DR: Elevated C-reactive protein level is a modest but independent predictive factor of 30-day mortality in ACS patients, even after adjustment for co-morbidities, haemodynamic conditions, and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anemia for risk assessment of patients with acute coronary syndromes.

TL;DR: The data confirmed that anemia was an independent predictive factor of mortality and had incremental predictive value to the GRACE score system for early clinical outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immediate versus delayed angioplasty in infarct-related arteries with TIMI III flow and ST segment recovery: a matched comparison in acute myocardial infarction patients.

TL;DR: The data suggest that in STEMI patients with patent IRA, optimal ST-segment resolution, and thrombus-containing lesion, deferred PCI when patients are given dual antiplatelet therapy, antithrombin agents, and GPIIb-IIIa inhibitors results in a higher procedural success rate, without an increased risk of MACE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in management of elderly patients with myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Between 2001 and 2006, a significant increase in the use of guidelines-recommended treatments (GRTs) was observed, associated with lower 30-day mortality, in elderly patients, and data confirm that high-risk patients, such as the elderly, benefit from an increased use of GRTs.
