          Abstract

          According to some international studies, patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and increased left atrial volume index (LAVI) have worse long-term prognosis. However, national Brazilian studies confirming this prediction are still lacking.

          Prediction of creatinine clearance from serum creatinine.

          Paige Gault, H Gault, D Cockcroft (1975)
          A formula has been developed to predict creatinine clearance (Ccr) from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: (see article)(15% less in females). Derivation included the relationship found between age and 24-hour creatinine excretion/kg in 249 patients aged 18-92. Values for Ccr were predicted by this formula and four other methods and the results compared with the means of two 24-hour Ccr's measured in 236 patients. The above formula gave a correlation coefficient between predicted and mean measured Ccr's of 0.83; on average, the difference predicted and mean measured values was no greater than that between paired clearances. Factors for age and body weight must be included for reasonable prediction.

            Left atrial size and the risk of stroke and death. The Framingham Heart Study.

            Emelia Benjamin, Ralph B. D’Agostino, Albert Belanger … (1995)
            The medical literature contains conflicting reports on the association of left atrial (LA) enlargement with risk of stroke. The relation of LA size to risk of stroke and death in the general population remains largely unexplored. Subjects 50 years of age and older from the Framingham Heart Study were studied to assess the relations between echocardiographic LA size and risk of stroke and death. During 8 years of follow-up, 64 of 1371 (4.7%) men and 73 of 1728 (4.2%) women sustained a stroke, and 296 (21.6%) men and 271 (15.7%) women died. Sex-specific Cox proportional-hazards models were adjusted for age, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, smoking, ECG left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, and congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction. After multivariable adjustment, for every 10-mm increase in LA size, the relative risk of stroke was 2.4 in men (95% CI, 1.6 to 3.7) and 1.4 in women (95% CI, 0.9 to 2.1); the relative risk of death was 1.3 in men (95% CI, 1.0 to 1.5) and 1.4 in women (95% CI, 1.1 to 1.7). Adjusting for ECG LV mass/height attenuated the relation of LA size to stroke and death. After multivariable adjustment, LA enlargement remained a significant predictor of stroke in men and death in both sexes. The relation of LA enlargement to stroke and death appears to be partially mediated by LV mass.

              World Health Organization definition of myocardial infarction: 2008-09 revision.

              Kristian Thygesen, M Mähönen, Simona Giampaoli … (2011)
              WHO has played a leading role in the formulation and promulgation of standard criteria for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction since early 1970s. The revised definition takes into consideration the following: well-resourced settings can use the ESC/ACC/AHA/WHF definition, which has new biomarkers as a compulsory feature; in resource-constrained settings, a typical biomarker pattern cannot be made a compulsory feature as the necessary assays may not be available; the definition must also have provision for diagnosing non-fatal events with incomplete information on cardiac biomarkers and the ECG; to facilitate epidemiologic monitoring definition must recognize fatal events with incomplete or no information on cardiac biomarkers and/or ECG and/or autopsy and/or coronary angiography. Category A definition is the same as ESC/ACC/AHA/WHF definition of MI, and can be applied to settings with no resource constraints. Category B definition of MI is to be applied whenever there is incomplete information on cardiac bio-markers together with symptoms of ischaemia and the development of unequivocal pathological Q waves. Category C definition (probable MI) is to be applied when individuals with MI may not satisfy Category A or B definitions because of delayed access to medical services and/or unavailability of electrocardiography and/or laboratory assay of cardiac biomarkers. In these situations, the term probable MI should be used when there is either ECG changes suggestive of MI or incomplete information on cardiac biomarkers in a person with symptoms of ischaemia with no evidence of a non-coronary reason. This article presents the 2008-09 revision of the World Health Organization (WHO) definition of myocardial infarction (MI) developed at a WHO expert consultation.
