Substance use among Iranian cardiac surgery patients and its effects on short-term outcome.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: We assessed the prevalence of substance use among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft and valve surgery in northwest Iran. We evaluated the postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality of patients with substance ... Read more...

Sex differences in mortality after acute myocardial infarction: changes from 1994 to 2006.

24 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that women younger than 55 years have higher hospital mortality rates after acute myocardial infarction (MI) than age-matched men. We examined whether such mortality differences have decreased in recent years. ... Read more...

Clinical benefit of early reperfusion therapy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction usually excluded from randomized clinical trials (results from the Maximal Individual Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction Plus [MITRA Plus] registry).

13 Oct 2009 Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) usually enroll selected patient populations that may not be representative for patients seen in everyday practice. Therefore, concerns have been raised regarding their external validity. For the present study we ... Read more...
