Abstract

International guidelines for the management of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) recommend various performance measures to monitor the quality of STEMI systems of care. Door-to-balloon (D2B) time (arrival at hospital to percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI) and overall health care system delay (first medical contact to reperfusion) are acknowledged as valuable performance measures when treating patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, there is confusion regarding the exact definition of these performance measures, and moreover system delay and PCI-related delay (the extra delay acceptable to perform PPCI instead of fibrinolysis) are often used synonymously, which add confusion when considering reperfusion strategy. The present paper calls for a consensus regarding the use and definition of objective performance measures when treating patients with STEMI, and exemplifies why it is insufficient just to focus on D2B time.

Das Risiko für Vorhofflimmern in der Bevölkerung steigt

02.05.2024 Vorhofflimmern Nachrichten

Das Risiko, im Lauf des Lebens an Vorhofflimmern zu erkranken, ist in den vergangenen 20 Jahren gestiegen: Laut dänischen Zahlen wird es drei von zehn Personen treffen. Das hat Folgen weit über die Schlaganfallgefährdung hinaus.

VHF-Ablation nützt wohl nur bei reduzierter Auswurfleistung

02.05.2024 Ablationstherapie Nachrichten

Ob die Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern bei Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz die Komplikationsraten senkt, scheint davon abzuhängen, ob die Auswurfleistung erhalten ist oder nicht. Das legen die Ergebnisse einer Metaanalyse nahe.

Weniger Extremitätenischämien mit dualer Plättchenhemmung

02.05.2024 Thrombozytenaggregationshemmer Nachrichten

Eine Behandlung mit Ticagrelor zusätzlich zu ASS kann das Risiko für Revaskularisierungen und Amputationen von Extremitäten bei Diabetikern mit stabiler KHK deutlich reduzieren, vor allem für solche mit PAVK. Dafür spricht eine Auswertung der Interventionsstudie THEMIS.
