Coronary Syndrome

REDUCING INFLAMMATION IN ISCHEMIC STROKE WITH COLCHICINE, AND TICAGRELOR IN HIGH-RISK PATIENTS-EXTENDED TREATMENT IN ISCHEMIC STROKE.

In France and Italy, approximately 240,000 percutaneous coronary angioplasties (PCI) are performed annually, with an increasing number of complex procedures, including those involving the left coronary common trunk, a bifurcation, chronic occlusion, or requiring Rotablator Rotary Atherectomy (ARota). The medical literature lacks sufficient data regarding several key aspects of complex angioplasty. These include the epidemiological characteristics of patients undergoing such procedures, the impact of irradiation delivered and the quantity of iodine injected on these lengthy procedures, their procedural complication rate, and in-hospital mortality.

This study addresses the critical issue of obesity and its impact on patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). While obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, emerging evidence suggests that obese patients with coronary artery disease may have better survival outcomes-a phenomenon known as the \"obesity paradox.\" Our research aims to explore this paradox by examining the body composition of ACS patients using bioimpedance analysis (BIA). We will evaluate parameters such as lean mass, body fat, and fluid volume to assess their relationship with clinical outcomes, including mortality and the incidence of heart and kidney failure. By focusing on body composition rather than just BMI, this study seeks to provide a more accurate understanding of how these factors influence patient outcomes. Conducted at a major hospital in Argentina, the study will contribute valuable insights into the role of body composition in the prognosis of ACS, potentially informing more personalized treatment strategies.

Identify circulating protein-coding (mRNAs) or non-coding (ncRNAs) transcripts (ACS\_signature) predictive of ventricular dysfunction in ACS patients undergoing PCI.
