Does the discharge ECG provide additional prognostic insight(s) in non-ST elevation ACS patients from that acquired on admission?
This study highlights that the dynamic ECG changes which occur between admission and discharge in non-ST elevation ACS patients allows further risk stratification in determining the likelihood of 6-month death and/or re(MI).
E-AAA attenuates proinflammatory T-cell changes compared with C-AAA repair. A reduction in T-cell activation and impaired responsiveness to superantigen suggests that the immunological sequelae of the endovascular approach to aneurysm repair is more favourable than after the open approach with potentially less risk of adverse outcomes. Proof of this thesis will require a larger prospective study.
