Objective: Statins have pleiotropic effects that are independent of their lipid-lowering ability. We previously shown prior statin therapy is associated with a decreased risk severe sepsis in patients admitted acute bacterial infection. The aim this study was to determine whether infection-related mortality. Design: A prospective, observational, population-based study. Setting: Tertiary university medical center. Patients: Using computerized database, 11,490 atherosclerotic diseases were...
High levels of circulating cell free DNA (CFD) have been associated with poor prognosis in various diseases. Data pertaining to CFD acute myocardial infarction (MI) are scarce. The available data obtained by either electrophoresis or polymerase chain reaction. We evaluated a novel method for the detection patients ST elevation (STEMI) and examined its correlation established markers necrosis ventricular function.Serum concentrations CFD, troponin-T creatine kinase (CK) were measured...
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share common risk factors. To evaluate the long-term incidence predictors of new-onset T2DM (NODM) among post-AMI adults, we conducted a retrospective analysis AMI survivors hospitalized between 2002 2017. Eligible patients were followed for up to 16 years identify NODM, stratified by demographic clinical characteristics. Among 5147 individuals (74.2% males, mean age 64.6 ± 14.9 years) without pre-existing T2DM, 23.4%...
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and risk for long-term (up 10 years) all-cause mortality among elderly compared with younger patients following an myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of Soroka Acute Myocardial Infarction registry covered years 2002 2017. It included diagnosed AMI who had baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 serum creatinine...
We evaluated the association between white blood cell counts and long-term mortality rates in 2,129 patients (mean age, 65.3 ± 13.5 yr; 69% men) who had survived acute myocardial infarction. obtained differential of subtypes within first 72 hours hospital admission. The primary outcome was all-cause death at 1, 5, 10 years after In regard to long term, we found significant negative linear associations (lymphocytes), positive (neutrophils neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio), nonlinear U-shaped...
New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has significant consequences but is often misdiagnosed. The aim of the study was to evaluate predictors NOAF throughout different phases AMI. Patients with AMI admitted a tertiary medical center were analyzed. Exclusion criteria preexisting AF, onset ≥24 hours prior admission, in-hospital death, valvular disease, and coronary artery bypass graft. Study population without-NOAF, early-AF (AF terminated within 24...
To evaluate the prognostic significance of early ultra-short-term heart rate variability (HRV) measurement in patients admitted for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).HRV was calculated retrospectively from standard admission and discharge 10-second ECG 196 consecutive with STEMI. Reduced HRV defined as deviation N-N intervals (SDNN) <9.5 (25th percentile). Data regarding all end points were obtained 2 years after patients.Patients' age 60.9 +/- 13 21% female. Admission SDNN lower...
A wide therapeutic gap exists between evidence-based guidelines and their practice in the primary care, which is primarily attributed to physician patient adherence.This study aims differentiate adherence dyslipidemia secondary prevention various factors affecting it.A post hoc analysis of data collected by a prospective cluster randomized trial with 7041 patients diagnosed clinical atherosclerosis requiring 127 care physicians over an 18-month period. Adherence was measured physicians'...
