Search for: [Abstract = "ase of MI the ornithine\/arginine index and the proline\/arginine index increased, while the citrulline\/arginine index and the citrulline\/ornithine index decreased as compared to 6\- month follow\-up \(P<0,001 for all\). Patients with TCFA present in the IRA culprit lesion in an acute phase had higher plasma levels of ADMA \(P=0,015\), ornithine \(P=0,003\) and lower indices of citrulline\/ornithine \(P=0,003\) and arginine\/ADMA \(P=0,040\) when compared with patients without TFCA. A mean diameter of the intima or intima\-media in the adjacent segment of the IRA correlated with the ornithine\/arginine ratio measured at follow\-up \(R=0,337\; P=0,003\). By multivariable analysis, a higher citrulline\/ornithine index as measured in acute MI phase was associated with a lower risk of TCFA presence \(odds ratio 0,978\; 95% confidence interval \[CI\] for odds ratio 0,962\-0,994\; P=0,006\) whereas a higher follow\-up ornithine\/arginine index correlated with larger intima\-media diameter of adjacent segments \(beta\-coefficient 0,227, 95% CI for beta\-coefficient 0,045–0,409\; P = 0,018\). The third paper, a care report of three aortic valve stenosis patients who suffered from a periprocedural MI as a result of iatrogenic coronary artery dissection, showed extremely high risk of death associated with this rare complication. Conclusions In acute phase of MI, plasma arginine metabolism is shift"]
