Urotensin II immunoreactivity in the human circulation: evidence for widespread tissue release.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The sources of secretion and clearance of plasma urotensin II (UII) in the human circulation remain uncertain and may be relevant to understanding the role of UII in human physiology and cardiovascular disease. METHODS: In 94 subjects ... Read more...

Acute coronary syndromes: diagnosis and management, part I.

29 Sep 2009 The term acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to any group of clinical symptoms compatible with acute myocardial ischemia and includes unstable angina (UA), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial ... Read more...

[Prehospital assessment and treatment decisions of a suspected acute coronary syndrome: what are the problems? Results of the "Emergency Doctor and Acute Myocardial Infarction" study (NAAMI)]

21 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Interpretation of prehospital 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a diagnostic challenge in many cases. The aim of this study was to determine whether board-certified emergency ... Read more...
