Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Patients with CKD are known to have a greater prevalence of cardiovascular disease than the general population,1 and patients with concurrent CKD and coronary artery disease (CAD) have greater mortality than patients without CKD.2-4 The rate of cardiovascular mortality is approximately 50%,five to 10 times higher than the general population.展开更多

Hemorrhagic complications occur with a frequency of 1% to 10% during treatment for ACS. In fact, bleeding events are the most common extrinsic complication associated with ACS therapy. The identification of clinical characteristics and particularities of the antithrombin therapy associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic complications would make it possible to adopt prevention strategies, especially among those exposed to greater risk. The international societies of cardiology renewed emphasis on bleeding risk stratification in order to decide strategy and therapy for patients with ACS. With this review, we performed an update about the ACS bleeding risk scores most frequently used in daily clinical practice.展开更多

This study was conducted to explore the utility of the three scores among real-world patients alter percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. Methods： From January 2013 to December 2013, patients underwent PCI treatment at Fuwai Hospital were included. Tile primary endpoints were all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The secondary endpoints were myocardial infarction, revascularization, stroke, and stent thrombosis. Kaptan-Meier methodology was used to determine the outcomes. Cox multivariable regression was to test the associations between scores and all-cause mortality. Results： A total of 10,344 patients were finally analyzed in this study. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that greater residual coronary lesions quantified by rSS and its derived indexes were associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. However, atier multivariate analysis, only clinical rSS was an independent predictor of 2-year all-cause death （hazard ratio： 1.02, 95% confidence interval： 1.01-1.03, P 〈 0.01）. By receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve analysis, clinical rSS had superior predictability of 2-year all-cause death than rSS and SRI （area under ROC curve [AUC]： 0.50 vs. 0.56 vs. 0.56, all P 〈 0.01 ）, whereas rSS was superior in predicting repeat revascularization than clinical rSS and SRI （AUC： 0.62 vs. 0.61 vs. 0.61： all P 〈 0.01）. When comparing the predictive capability of rSS 〉8 with SRI 〈70%, their predictabilities were not significantly different.展开更多

The long-term predictive value of STR after primary percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） is less well understood. We sought to determine the long-term prognostic value of STR after primary PCI in ST-segment - elevation myocardial infarction.展开更多
