NSTEMI and STEMI

STEMI

Unstable angina and NSTEMI

Use of evidence-based meds increasing for STEMI, NSTEMI

(HealthDay)—Evidence-based therapies are increasingly being used to treat patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)...

Incidence of Heart Failure and Mortality After ACS

What are the significant differences in the incidence of HF among STEMI, NSTEMI, and unstable angina patients? American Heart Journal

Coronary angioplasty improves cardiac arrest survival

(European Society of Cardiology) Survival improves for STEMI and NSTEMI patientsSurvival at 1 year equals myocardial infarction survival without cardiac arrest.

Inpatients who have STEMI heart attacks more likely to die than outpatients

A new study finds that patients who suffer a STEMI heart attack while hospitalized are 10 times more likely to die than patients who suffer a STEMI outside the hospital.

Interventional Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes

What changes in the system of care for STEMI patients could now be applied to the non-STEMI ACS population? Heart

Aspirin still first-line therapy for unstable angina/NSTEMI

(HealthDay) -- Aspirin is still the first line of therapy for patients with unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ticagrelor can be used in place of clopidogrel or pr...

Prehospital System Delay in STEMI Care

Prehospital system delays are an important target for improving timely STEMI care, but how can we influence what we don't see? American Heart Journal

Fast PCI First Choice for STEMI (CME/CE)

(MedPage Today) -- For patients with ST-segment-elevation MI (STEMI), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the treatment of choice, as long as it can be done in time, according to a new guideli...

Should we improve the management of NSTEMI? Results from the population-based "acute myocardial infarction in Florence 2" (AMI-Florence 2) registry.

ST-segment and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, NSTEMI) have opposite epidemiology, the latter being nowadays more common than the former. Consistently with these epidemiological...

Comparison of Angiographic and Other Findings and Mortality in Non-ST-Segment Elevation versus ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients Undergoing Early Invasive Intervention.

We sought to compare the angiographic findings and mortality in patients with non-ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) versus ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing early invasive inte...

Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging findings in non-ST-segment elevation versus ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing early invasive intervention.

To define causes and pathological mechanisms underlying differences in clinical outcomes, we compared the findings of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) between ST-segment elevation...

A comparison of ST elevation versus non-ST elevation myocardial infarction outcomes in a large registry database Are non-ST myocardial infarctions associated with worse long-term prognoses?

BACKGROUND: Prognoses in STEMI and NSTEMI beyond one year from onset remain unclear. We aimed to compare the treatments and the two-year outcomes in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) enrolled a...

Fibrinolytic status in acute coronary syndromes: Evidence of differences in relation to clinical features and pathophysiological pathways.

Limited data are available on the role of innate fibrinolysis in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). In the present study we evaluated the dynamic alterations of fibrinolytic markers in patients presentin...
