Predictive values of post-treatment adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein index for stent thrombosis after acute coronary syndrome in clopidogrel-treated patients.

13 Oct 2009 A low response to clopidogrel has been associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. However, the definition of a nonresponse to clopidogrel remains controversial, and different tests have been used to assess the clopidogrel response. The ... Read more...

Effect of ACE inhibition on the fibrinolytic system in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting.

23 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Regulation of the fibrinolytic balance between plasminogen activators and inhibitors is modulated by the renin-angiotensin system. Thus, alterations in the renin-angiotensin system by ACE inhibitors probably result in modification of the ... Read more...

Prognostic significance of cystatin C in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

11 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Cystatin C is reportedly a better endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate than serum creatinine, so the prognostic value of cystatin C in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) was evaluated in the present study. ... Read more...
