Background The role of inflammation in patients with coronary artery disease is emerging.
We sought to assess the profile and outcomes of patients with a clinical syndrome of severe …

Objective: Inflammation may play an important role in the pathogenesis, persistence, and
prognosis of cardiogenic shock. We analyzed whether elevated plasma concentrations of …

Background Inflammatory response is an important feature of acute coronary syndromes
and myocardial infarction (MI). The prognostic value of proinflammatory cytokines in patients …

Extensive evidence supports a pathogenic role for both local and systemic inflammation in
acute coronary syndromes. However, several important questions remain unanswered. Is …

Background: The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) frequently occurs in
patients with cardiogenic shock and may aggravate shock severity and organ failure. We …

Background: Few studies describe recent changes in the incidence, treatment, and
outcomes of cardiogenic shock. Objective: To examine temporal trends in the incidence …

Acute cardiomyocyte necrosis in the infarcted heart generates damage-associated
molecular patterns, activating complement and toll-like receptor/interleukin-1 signaling, and …

The incidence, outcome and predictors of the in-hospital development of cardiogenic shock
and its prognostic significance were analyzed in 845 patients presenting with acute …

The amount of left ventricular myocardium destroyed by recent and old infarcts in patients
with acute myocardial infarction with and without cardiogenic shock was compared in hearts …

PURPOSE: No studies have been addressed to the differences in inflammation kinetics
between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment …
