Open AccessLifeday coverage of oral anticoagulants and one-year relative survival in patients with atrial fibrillation: a population-based study in Estonia
Routine oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended for almost all high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation, yet registries show that OACs are still underused. Our aim was to study the lifeday coverage (LDC) ...

Open AccessAdherence to recommendations for secondary prevention medications after myocardial infarction in Estonia: comparison of real-world data from 2004 to 2005 and 2017 to 2018
Relatively high rates of adherence to myocardial infarction (MI) secondary prevention medications have been reported, but register-based, objective real-world data is scarce. We aimed to analyse adherence to g...

Open AccessP48 Effects of Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning on Haemodynamic and Arterial Stiffness Parameters in Patients Undergoing Lower Limb Angiographic Procedure
Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon that promotes protection of tissues and organs against ischaemia-reperfusion injury. RIPC has been shown to reduce myocardial and renal injury but its ef...

Open AccessP65 Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning Reduces Kidney Injury in Vascular Surgery
Perioperative acute kidney injury has been found to occur in 12% of patients undergoing lower limb revascularisation (Arora et al., 2013). The aim of the current double-blinded, randomised and shamcontrolled p...

Metabolomic signature of arterial stiffness in male patients with peripheral arterial disease
Arterial stiffness is an independent determinant of cardiovascular risk and a marker of subclinical organ damage. Metabolomics may facilitate identification of novel low-molecular cardiovascular risk factors. ...

Open AccessImproved treatment and prognosis after acute myocardial infarction in Estonia: cross-sectional study from a high risk country
The aim of the study was to explore trends in short- and long-term mortality after hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) over the period 2001─2011 in Estonian secondary and tertiary care hospit...

Structural and biochemical characteristics of arterial stiffness in patients with atherosclerosis and in healthy subjects
Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of vascular morbidity and mortality in patients with atherosclerosis. Angiographic score (ASc) reflects severity of atherosclerosis in patients with peripheral ar...

Open AccessChanges in treatment and mortality of acute myocardial infarction in Estonian tertiary and secondary care hospitals in 2001 and 2007
High quality care for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) improves patient outcomes. Still, AMI patients are treated in hospitals with unequal access to percutaneous coronary intervention. The study compares cha...
