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...

Acute inferior myocardial infarction due to cannabis smoking in a young man.

30 Aug 2009 Cannabis smoking, which has euphoric effects, is consistently increasing in Europe. Smoking cannabis is a rare trigger of acute myocardial infarction (MI) by inducing coronary artery spasm. Some cases who have thrombus formation in acute coronary ... Read more...

[Prevention of restenosis and of cardiac events after coronary angioplasty in diabetics]

24 Aug 2009 Various systemic pharmacological approaches have been evaluated to reduce the risk of restenosis and clinical complications after coronary angioplasty, with or without stent, a main objective in the high risk diabetic population. The aim of the ... Read more...
