(2021-09-16)
The cardiovascular system is significantly affected in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Microvascular injury, endothelial dysfunction and thrombosis resulting from viral infection or indirectly related to the intense ...
Spontaneous reperfusion in patients with transient ST-elevation myocardial infarction - prevalence, importance and approaches to management
(2021-07-10)
Patients with transient ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or spontaneous resolution (SpR) of the ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram could potentially represent a unique group of patients posing a therapeutic ...
Incidence of thrombotic complications in COVID-19
(2021-05-28)
A high incidence of thrombosis in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 was identified early during the pandemic. Accurately quantifying thrombotic risk may assist prognosis and guide appropriate thromboprophylaxis. Observational ...
Screening for venos thromboembolism in patient with COVID-19
(2021-05-21)
Pulmonary thromboembolism and deep venous thrombosis occur frequently in hospitalised patients with COVID-19, the prevalence increases on the intensive care unit (ICU) and is very high in patients on extracorporeal membrane ...
Cardiac mortality in patients randomised to elective coronary revascularisation plus medical therapy or medical therapy alone: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2021-05-18)
Aims:The value of elective coronary revascularisation plus medical therapy over medical therapy alone in managing stable patients with coronary artery disease is debated. We reviewed all trials comparing the two strategies ...
Results of an international crowdsourcing survey on the treatment of non-ST segment elevation ACS patients at high-bleeding risk undergoing percutaneous intervention
(2021-05-15)
Aims: Choosing an antiplatelet strategy in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) at high bleeding risk (HBR), undergoing post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is complex. We ...
Optimal tests to minimise bleeding and ischaemic complications in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(2021-05-13)
Patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) experience a very high frequency of bleeding and ischaemic complications, including stroke and systemic embolism. These patients require systemic ...
Fibrinolysis in platelet thrombi
(2021-05-12)
The extent and duration of occlusive thrombus formation following an arterial atherothrombotic plaque disruption may be determined by the effectiveness of endogenous fibrinolysis. The determinants of endogenous fibrinolysis ...
