The plateletcrit has been investigated as a new predictor of cardiovascular risk. The objective of our study was to investigate the role of admission plateletcrit in predicting long-term cardiovascular mortality in patients presenting with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We enrolled 296 patients with NSTEMI (mean age 59.2 ± 11.8 years; 228 men, 68 women) in this study. The study population was divided into tertiles on the basis of admission plateletcrit values. A high plateletcrit (n = 98) was defined as a value in the upper third tertile (plateletcrit >0.23), and a low plateletcrit (n = 198) was defined as any value in the lower two tertiles (plateletcrit ≤0.23). The median follow-up time was 38 months. In multivariate analyzes, a significant association was noted between high plateletcrit values ​​and the adjusted risk of long-term mortality (odds ratio = 12.15, 95% confidence interval = 1.78-82.77; P < 0.001). In the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the long-te

Objectives The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between CHA2DS2-VASc score and in-hospital and long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI. Methods In this retrospective study, 604 patients, admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of STEMI, were included. The study patients were divided into three risk groups according to CHA2DS2-VASc score: low-risk group (1 point), moderate-risk group (2 points), and high-risk group (3 points and higher), respectively. Results The mean follow-up time was 680±286 days. In the high-risk group, the rates of in-hospital and long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were higher than in the other groups. The Kaplan-Meier curves for the group with CHA2DS2-VASc scores >2 indicated a significantly shorter long-term survival (P<0.001). In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, CHA2DS2-VASc scores >2 were identified as an effective predictive cu

Throughout our lives, our body maintains its vitality thanks to the balance between the production and destruction events that occur in the cells. In this cycle called metabolism, various substances taken from the outside through nutrition are converted into other products as a result of cellular destruction events, and various by-products or wastes may occur in this process. These waste materials are among the elements that can cause various health problems in tissues. Antioxidants; Contributes to the protection of the body against harmful substances.
