Prediction of outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention for the acute coronary syndrome

Abstract: BACKGROUND:The seven-component Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score has been used to risk stratify, and to guide the medical management of, patients with unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We assessed the usefulness of the risk score in predicting in-hospital and 30-day outcomes in such patients who were undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS: Using the TIMI score, 2501 patients with unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction were divided int… Show more

“…17 For the 1-year MI models, we used covariates based on clinical reasoning and previous studies. [18][19][20] Covariates included age, sex, race, ethnicity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, renal failure, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, body weight, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, smoking, and previous MI. A robust estimator of the covariance matrix was used to account for clustering by site.…”

“…ore than 13 million Americans have a history of coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), or angina. Determining which of these patients will have future major adverse coronary events (MACE) is difficult (Kini et al, 2003). The risk of future MACE is currently determined by a combination of tests and traditional risk factors (Pearson, 2002) that include measuring left ventricular function, assessing angiographic findings, examining for the presence of ischemia (Kulick & Rahimtoola, 1991;Naqvi et al, 1997), lipid levels, age, gender, race, smoking status, diabetes, and blood pressure.…”

“…NOTE: CRP ¼ C-reactive protein; HPA ¼ hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal; ICAM ¼ intracellular adhesion molecule; IL-1 ¼ interleukin 1; IL6 ¼ interleukin 6; MCP-1 ¼ monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; MMP ¼ matrix metalloproteinase; TNFa ¼ tumor necrosis factor alpha; VCAM ¼ vascular cell adhesion molecule. that activate peripheral macrophages to produce inflammatory proteins (Kini et al, 2003) and cortiosteroids that enhance expression of inflammatory protein receptors on endothelial cells (Mortensen, 2001), thereby increasing recruitment, adhesion, and migration of monocytes into the coronary arteries. Higher circulating levels of systemic inflammatory proteins also increase expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM, vascular cell adhesion molecule [VCAM], E-selectin, and P-selectin) and MCP-1.…”
