Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of mortality and disability for both men and women in Europe, accounting for 1.92 million deaths each year.1 One in five women (22%) and one in five men (21%) die from the disease.1 This significant burden necessitates ongoing improvements in patient management and treatment, to minimise the impact of cardiovascular conditions on both patients… View more

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and thrombolysis (TL) represent two alternative reperfusion strategies for ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. In many randomised clinical trials,1 PPCI has been shown to be superior to TL in reducing mortality, re-infarction and stroke. These benefits are linked with a much higher early mechanical reperfusion rate (90 %,… View more

ESC 23: The RIGHT Study
Author(s): Yan Yan , Gilles Montalescot Added: 7 months ago
ESC 23 — Dr Yan Yan (Beijing Anzhen Hospital, CN) and Prof Gilles Montalescot (Pitie Salpetriere APHP University Hospital,FR) discusses the findings from a comparison of anticoagulation prolongation vs no anticoagulation in STEMI patients post-primary PCI (RIGHT) (NCT03664180). The RIGHT study (Beijing Anzhen Hospital) aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of anticoagulation… View more

The treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has substantially improved in recent decades. Thrombolysis, the former first-line therapy, which is inexpensive and may be administered without noteworthy delay in primary care or pre-hospital settings, has been replaced by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) despite the inherent delay of transfering patients to a cardiac… View more

Chronic heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women in the US, and coronary artery disease (CAD) constitutes the number one cause among them. Acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) usually occurs when a thrombus forms on a ruptured atheromateus plaque and occludes an epicardial coronary artery. Patient survival depends on several factors, the most important… View more

The results of an electrocardiogram (ECG) on admission guide the next level of decision-making for the patient with chest pain suspected of myocardial ischaemia. If an occlusive thrombus forms, patients may develop an acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and the primary goal is to consider reperfusion therapy as quickly as possible. The benefit obtained by effective and early… View more

Welcome to European Cardiology. Looking back on the developments that have left their mark on cardiology during the years I have been involved in the discipline, several breakthrough therapies and techniques immediately come to mind. In the early 1990s, I was impressed by the considerable progress achieved in the pharmacological treatment of heart failure, with the paradigm shift regarding the… View more
