Repolarization parameters in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention with respect to predischarge ST-T pattern: a preliminary study.

BACKGROUND: Negative T wave and lack of ST segment elevation in predischarge ECG in ST-segment elevation myocardial infraction (STEMI) patients are given as markers of good prognosis. Repolarization duration, especially...

Dual antiplatelet therapy and antithrombotic treatment: Recommendations and controversies.

Dual antiplatelet therapy is currently recommended for all patients with acute coronary syndromes, independent of whether they receive pharmacological treatment or undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. Antiplatelet...

Clinical and classic echocardiographic features of patients with, and without, left ventricle reverse remodeling following the introduction of cardiac resynchronization therapy.
