Abstract Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a cardiovascular disease caused by obstruction of coronary arteries by atheromatous plaque. Susceptibility to this disease may be related to genetic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Objective: In this study, we evaluated t...
ABSTRACT Background: Previous studies have shown an association between polymorphisms of the BAT1-NF-κB inhibitor-like-1 (NFKBIL1)-LTA genomic region and susceptibility to myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Objective: The objective of the study was to study the role of three ...
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Glycoprotein inhibitors (abciximab, eptifibatide and tirofiban) are used in patients with unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction before percutaneous coronary intervention. Of these, tirofiban is the least effective. We hypothesized that the response to...
