To identify the characteristics, management and hospital outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients in Gulf region Middle East.Overall, 8176 consecutive with final diagnosis ACS were recruited 6 months, from 64 hospitals countries. The mean age was 56 years. At presentation, 40% had diabetes 38% current smokers. Of 2268 eligible for reperfusion, 183 (8%) underwent primary percutaneous intervention, 1856 (82%) received thrombolytic therapy 219 (10%) did not receive any reperfusion....
Limited data are available on patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and their long-term outcomes in the Arabian Gulf countries. We evaluated clinical features, management, in-hospital, of such a population.A 9-month prospective, multicenter study conducted 65 hospitals from 6 countries that also included 30 day 1-year mortality follow-up.ACS those ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) non-ST-elevation syndrome (NSTEACS), including non-STEMI unstable angina. The registry collected...
The khat plant is a stimulant similar to amphetamine and thought induce coronary artery spasm. Khat widely chewed by individuals originating from the Horn of Africa Arabian Peninsula. aim this study was evaluate clinical characteristics outcome chewers presenting with acute syndrome.From October 1, 2008, through June, 30, 2009, 7399 consecutive patients syndrome were enrolled in Second Gulf Registry Acute Coronary Events (Gulf RACE-2). Nineteen percent chewers; 81% not. older, more often...
Background Gender-related differences in mortality of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have been reported. The extent and causes these the Middle-East are poorly understood. We studied to what difference outcome, specifically 1-year attributable demographic, baseline clinical at presentation, management between female male patients. Methodology/Principal Findings Baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, 7390 ACS patients 65 hospitals 6 Arabian Gulf countries were evaluated during...
J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and effect metabolic syndrome (MetS) on patients with acute coronary (ACS) in six Middle Eastern countries using new definition MetS. Analysis Gulf Registry Acute Coronary Events (Gulf RACE), which included 8716 consecutive hospitalized ACS, conducted were divided into two groups: without Overall, 46% had Patients MetS more likely be female less smokers. In‐hospital mortality cardiogenic shock comparable...
Background Little is known about Emergency Medical Services (EMS) use and pre-hospital triage of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Arabian Gulf countries. Methods Clinical arrival care within 24 h STEMI symptom onset were compared between transferred by EMS (Red Crescent Inter-Hospital) those non-EMS means. Data retrieved from a prospective registry 36 hospitals 6 countries, January 2014 to 2015. Results We enrolled 2,928 patients; mean age, 52.7 (SD ±11.8)...
Background: There is a paucity of data regarding acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) in the Gulf region. This study addressed this knowledge gap examining patients experiencing AMI-CS region and analyzing hospital short-term follow-up mortality. Methods: The Gulf-Cardiogenic Shock registry included 1,513 with diagnosed between January 2020 December 2022. Results: incidence was 4.1% (1,513/37,379). median age 60 years. most common presentation...
Abstract Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of in-hospital mortality. With the addition right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), it associated with poorer outcomes. This study examines impact RVD on mortality in CS-AMI patients, highlighting importance early identification and tailored management. Methods Data from Gulf Shock (Gulf-CS) registry—a multicenter registry patients six countries—were analyzed compare long-term outcomes for...
There is paucity of data on heart failure (HF) in the Gulf Middle East. The present paper describes rationale, design, methodology and hospital characteristics first acute registry (Gulf CARE).Gulf CARE a prospective, multicenter, multinational patients >18 year age admitted with diagnosis HF (AHF). collected included demographics, clinical characteristics, etiology, precipitating factors, management outcomes AHF. In addition, about readmission rates, procedures mortality at 3 months 1-year...
Abstract Aims This study aims to evaluate the incidence and impact of cardiorenal anaemia syndrome (CRAS) on all‐cause mortality in acute heart failure (AHF) patients stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) status Middle East. Methods results Data were analysed from 4934 consecutive admitted 47 hospitals seven Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain) with AHF February November 2012. CRAS was defined as estimated glomerular...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common autosomal dominant disorder that can result in premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Limited data are available worldwide about the prevalence and management of FH. Here, we aimed to estimate patients with FH five Arabian Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain).The multicentre, multinational registry included adults (≥18 years old) recruited from outpatient clinics 14 tertiary-care centres...
Lung cancer is the number one killer among all types. For decades, clinicians have been using conventional chemotherapeutics, but they can't rely on them alone anymore, because poison bad cells and good as well. Researchers exploited nanotechnology a potential tool to develop platform for drug delivery improve therapeutic efficiency. A quality by design synthesis of gefitinib-loaded starch nanoparticles (Gef-StNPs) has emerged an essential study optimize factors included in their synthesis....
Objectives: To describe the risk profile, management and one-year outcomes of patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Gulf region Middle East. Subjects Methods: The locals events (Gulf COAST) registry is a prospective, multinational, longitudinal, observational, cohort-based consecutive citizens, from East, admitted January 2012 to 2013 29 hospitals diagnosis ACS. Data entered online included patient demographics, cardiovascular profiles, past medical history, physical...
To determine the prevalence, genetic characteristics, current management and outcomes of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) in Gulf region.Adult (18-70 years) FH patients were recruited from 9 hospitals centres across 5 Arabian countries. The study was divided into 4 phases included 3 different categories. In phase 1, suspected (category 1) collected according to lipid profile clinical data obtained through hospital record systems. 2, category 2 (patients with a previous diagnosis FH) 1...
The Centralized pan-Middle East Survey on the undertreatment of hypercholesterolemia (CEPHEUS) survey evaluated attainment low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals among patients lipid-lowering drugs (LLDs) according to updated National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)-Adult Treatment Panel (ATP-III) guideline. was conducted in 6 Arabian Gulf countries. Patients aged ≥18 years LLDs for at least ≥3 months (stable medication ≥6 weeks) were recruited. Fasting blood samples...
Background: Shock index is a bedside reflection of integrated response the cardiovascular and nervous systems. We aimed to evaluate utility shock (heart rate/systolic blood pressure) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: analyzed pooled data from seven Arabian Gulf registries; these ACS registries were carried out countries (Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman Yemen) between 2005 2017. A standard uniform coding strategy was used recode each database...
