GDF-15 on admission is a strong predictor of mortality in patients with STEMI reperfused by primary angioplasty, which is associated with decreased myocardial salvage and subsequent adverse clinical outcome. Clinical trail registration number http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ NCT00463749.
High-dose N-ACC does not provide additional benefit over placebo with respect to Cys-C defined CIN in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. The magnitude of increase in Cys-C serum levels in the early course after STEMI is a predictor of medium-term MACE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
