Does exenatide reduce final infarct size in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and short-duration of ischemia?
In this post hoc analysis, exenatide treatment was associated with a 30% decrease in final infarct size in patients with short system delay, whereas no cardioprotective effect in patients with long system delay was seen. However, this finding must be confirmed in larger studies.
This is the first report of cross-sectional results of DVA in a cohort of SCD outpatients without prior clinical stroke (TIA). These results suggest hyperemia without significant focal intracranial stenosis. There were also differences between asymptomatic SCD and young athletes, and the MFV, DFI, and DPI were highest at the age of 6 to 9 years, decreasing as age increased.
