Lipid Inflammatory Indices as Predictors of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in Patients With Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated With Dual Antiplatelet Therapy and Statins.

Background Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is frequently associated with systemic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. Indices derived from routine laboratory tests that reflect systemic inflammatory and lipid-inflammatory status may offer better prognostic insight. This study aimed to evaluate the association between selected indices and short-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality in patients with NSTEMI treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and statin.

C-reactive Protein and Biliary Complications as Independent Predictors of Hospital Stay in Acute Cholecystitis.

Background Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a frequent surgical emergency associated with significant variability in clinical outcomes and hospital length of stay (LOS). Early identification of patients at risk for prolonged hospitalization can improve triage and resource planning. Inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), and total bilirubin (TBil), along with biliary complications like choledocholithiasis and Mirizzi syndrome, may have prognostic value.

The Inflammatory Burden in Heart Failure: A Cohort Study on Potential Biomarkers in Heart Failure With Reduced and Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Background Heart failure (HF) is characterized by impaired cardiac function. Based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), it is classified into HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Each phenotype has distinct pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical features.
