Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between hospital volume and outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
TL;DR: There is an inverse association between a hospital's primary PCI volume and in-hospital mortality for patients with acute MI, and periodic outcomes research is necessary in conjunction with progress in PCI practice and technology to establish the recommended PCIVolume and regionalization for improvements in care.

TL;DR: The present study is the first to demonstrate a decreased age-adjusted incidence of MI during the period from 2006 to 2014 in a Japanese rural population, especially in the elderly.

Prognostic value of N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide level on admission in patients with acute myocardial infarction and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
Sung Ai Kim,Sang Jae Rhee,Chi Young Shim,Jung Sun Kim,Sungha Park,Young Guk Ko,Donghoon Choi,Yangsoo Jang,Namsik Chung,Jong-Won Ha +9 more
TL;DR: NT-proBNP showed a strong predictive power for adverse outcomes beyond traditional risk factors and echocardiographic indices of LV systolic and diastolic function in patients with acute MI and preserved LVEF.
Book ChapterDOI
The Role of Echocardiography in Acute Coronary Syndrome
TL;DR: Echocardiography has gradually evolved into an inexpensive yet highly effective and noninvasive practical tool in assessment of patients with chest pain and plays a signifi cant role in the exclusion of other etiologies of chest pain.
Book ChapterDOI
Anti-arrhythmic Drugs
Benedict Glover,Paul Dorian +1 more
TL;DR: Anti-arrhythmic drugs alter the electrical properties of the heart principally by either prolonging the cardiac action potential, decreasing conduction velocity, reducing focal automaticity or a combination of these effects.
