In patients with acute MI, increased LA volume, determined within the first 48 h of admission, is an independent predictor of five-year mortality with incremental prognostic information to clinical and echocardiographic data.
Our results suggest increased plaque TF expression and thrombogenicity as a novel mechanism for the increased risk of atherothrombotic events in smokers. Treatment with aspirin may reduce TF expression.
Patients infected with HIV sustain AMI at a young age and have a benign in-hospital course. Although HIV-infected patients have a higher incidence of postdischarge ischemic events, restenosis, and stent thrombosis, the intermediate-term mortality is low.
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.
