N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide is a Biomarker of Congestive Heart Failure and Predictive of 30-Day Untoward Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4 Gene Polymorphism Associated With ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction

“…35,36 Previous studies have revealed an association of cardiogenic shock and CHF with unfavorable clinical outcomes. [40][41][42] The present study, has found that cardiogenic shock and advanced CHF were independent determinants of 30-day mortality, thus confirming the findings observed by the previous studies. [40][41][42] A strong association between an increase in circulating levels of interleukin-18, an inflammatory cytokine, and cardiogenic shock has been recently reported in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI.…”

“…[40][41][42] The present study, has found that cardiogenic shock and advanced CHF were independent determinants of 30-day mortality, thus confirming the findings observed by the previous studies. [40][41][42] A strong association between an increase in circulating levels of interleukin-18, an inflammatory cytokine, and cardiogenic shock has been recently reported in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI. 43 Thus, we speculate the current results implicate that the G/G genotype increased risk of unfavorable prognostic outcomes following AMI via an interaction between inflammatory response and cardiogenic shock.…”

Association of Interleukin-10 Level With Increased 30-Day Mortality in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Coronary Intervention

“…Recently, we found that low LVEF was strongly associated with 30-day mortality and untoward clinical outcomes in the clinical setting of ST-se AMI undergoing primary PCI. 19,28 Therefore, the results of this present study strengthen the observation of our recent studies. 19,28 A link between unsuccessful reperfusion and unfavorable clinical outcomes has been well recognized by previous studies.…”

“…19,28 Therefore, the results of this present study strengthen the observation of our recent studies. 19,28 A link between unsuccessful reperfusion and unfavorable clinical outcomes has been well recognized by previous studies. 15,16,19,20,29 In our study, we found that final TIMIflow ≤2 was independently predictive of 30-day death.…”

Prognostic Value of Activated Toll-Like Receptor-4 in Monocytes Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

“…Therefore, our finding further supports the suggestion of Linde, et al 5) An association between advanced age and poor clinical outcome following AMI has been well recognized by previous studies. [23][24][25] In the current study, we also found that age is independently predictive of 30-day MACO. Therefore, our finding strengthens the previous findings [23][24][25] and further suggests that advanced age is a universal factor related to unfavorable outcome in patients with atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease.…”
