Background Although both prehospital fibrinolysis and primary angioplasty provide a
clinical benefit over in-hospital fibrinolysis in acute myocardial infarction, they have not been …

Objective: To assess the prevalence, clinical presentation, therapeutic management and
medium-term prognosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Methods: Over a 5-…

Objectives : We sought to assess the frequency and causes of stent thrombosis in diabetic
and nondiabetic patients after implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents. Background : Safety …

Background—The exercise treadmill test (ETT) and Tl201 single proton emission computed
tomography (SPECT) are of short- to medium-term prognostic value in coronary heart …

Background: The impact of antidiabetic medications on clinical outcomes in patients
developing acute myocardial infarction (MI) is controversial. We sought to determine whether in-…

Background : Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) improve outcome in the setting
of post–myocardial infarction (MI) heart failure (HF). Objectives : The study sought to assess …

Objectives. This study was designed to assess the prognostic value of thallium-201 single-photon
emission computed tomographic (thallium SPECT) perfusion imaging in patients …

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the prognostic value of an exercise stress test and thallium-201
