Is it possible to simplify risk stratification scores for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty?
It is possible to simplify risk stratification scores for STEMI and primary angioplasty using only four variables (age, serum creatinine, heart failure and cardiac arrest). This simplified model maintained a good predictive and discriminative performance for short-term mortality.
Altogether, these results demonstrate that the insertion of host-derived ICAM-1 into HIV-1 represents another factor that affects virus sensitivity to the entry inhibitor. These findings have potential implications for the therapeutic use of T-20.
