BACKGROUND Pre-operative anaemia is associated with adverse outcomes of noncardiac surgery, but its association myocardial injury after surgery (MINS) has not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE The between pre-operative and MINS. DESIGN A single-centre retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary care referral centre. PATIENTS Patients measured cardiac troponin (cTn) I levels surgery. INTERVENTIONS were separated according to (haemoglobin <13 g dl −1 in men <12 women). Anaemia was...
Abstract Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is recently accepted as a strong predictor of mortality, regardless symptoms. However, anticoagulation the only established treatment. This study aimed to evaluate association between statin treatment and mortality MINS. From January 2010 June 2019, total 5,267 adult patients who were discharged occurrence MINS enrolled. The divided into two groups according prescription at discharge. outcomes 1-year overall mortalities. Of 5,109...
Background This study aimed to evaluate the association between intraoperative blood loss and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS), which is a severe common postoperative complication. Methods We compared incidence of MINS based on significant bleeding, defined as an absolute hemoglobin level < 7 g/dL, relative less than 50% preoperative measurement, or need for packed red cell transfusion. also estimated threshold associated with MINS. Results stratified total 15,926...
Fabrazyme has been widely used for treatment of Fabry disease since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003. This study was undertaken to assess short-term efficacy safety enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) Korea. Eight male patients three female symptomatic carriers aged 13 48 yr were included. administered intravenous infusion at a dose 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Plasma urine globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) levels, serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, 24-hr protein levels...
<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Bifurcation angle has emerged as a predictor of outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for bifurcation lesions. We investigated the impact on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing lesion PCI. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Consecutive who received PCI lesions were enrolled from 16 centers Korea between January 2004 and June 2006. Patients divided into low-angle high-angle groups using median (50°). compared...
There are limited data regarding the clinical efficacy of proximal optimization technique (POT) in treatment coronary bifurcation lesions. We investigated influence POT on outcomes patients with lesions.We enrolled a total 1,191 lesion side branch (SB) diameter ≥2.5 mm treated drug-eluting stent from 18 centers between January 2003 and December 2009. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs: death, myocardial infarction or target revascularization [TLR]). performed...
Results from Coronary Bifurcation Stenting RegistryTrans-radial (TR) approach is increasingly recognized as an alternative to the routine use of trans-femoral (TF) approach.However, there are limited data comparing outcomes these two approaches for treatment coronary bifurcation lesions.We evaluated TR and TF percutaneous interventions (PCI) in this complex lesion.Procedural clinical events were compared 1,668 patients who underwent PCI non-left main lesions, according vascular approach,...
In this paper, the delay times were evaluated to develop highly reliable time-to-digital converter(TDC) in analog and digital element structures. The can be designed by using current source or inverter. case of inverter, number inverter has controlled adjust time. And source, for charging discharging is controlled. When used time not sensitive with varying channel width CMOS. However, when directly related Therefore obtain good reliability TDC circuit more stable compared viewpoint variation...
Fimasartan is the most recently developed, potent, and long-acting angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). However, data are limited regarding treatment effects of fimasartan in patients with heart failure.
Background and Objectives: There are no data comparing clinical outcomes of complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between biodegradable polymer-biolimus-eluting stents (BP-BES) durable polymer-everolimus-eluting (DP-EES).We sought to evaluate the safety efficacy BP-BES compared with DP-EES in patients undergoing PCI.Methods: Patients enrolled SMART-DESK registry were stratified into 2 categories based on complexity PCI.Complex PCI was defined as having at least one following...
Background: Although current guidelines recommend noninvasive stress tests prior to elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), it is unknown whether antecedent exercise test (EST) affects the outcomes of patients undergoing PCI for stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD).This study aimed investigate long-term in with or without EST.Methods: We studied 2,674 using drug-eluting stents SIHD.Patients were divided into 2 groups: group underwent EST a positive result within 180 days (n =...
Background: Hyperglycemia in surgical candidates is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative blood glucose level on incidence myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) diabetic patients. Methods: Diabetic patients available measurement during were enrolled this study. Based highest level, stratified into two groups: sugar (BST) < 180 group (intraoperative peak mg/dL) BST ≥ mg/dL). The primary outcome was MINS, secondary...
BACKGROUND Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is one of the most common cardiovascular complications associated with mortality and morbidity during first 2 years surgery. However, relevant variables discharge in patients MINS have not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate association between persistent inflammation detected by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) at postdischarge MINS. DESIGN Retrospective observational analysis acquired data...
Abstract Background The effect of chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization on survival remains controversial. Furthermore, data regarding outcome differences for CTO based left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) are limited. differential outcomes from in patients with preserved LVSF (PLVSF) versus reduced (RLVSF) were assessed. Methods A 2,173 divided into either a PLVSF ( n = 1661, Ejection fraction ≥ 50%) or RLVSF 512, < group. Clinical compared between successful (SCR) optimal...
