The Significance of Dynamics of ST Segment Changes When Assessing the Effectiveness of Mechanical Reperfusion of the Myocardium in Hyperglycaemic Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction with Persistent ST-Segment Elevation

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: The manuscript evaluate the dynamics of ST-segment changes in electrocardiogram in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with co-existing hyperglycaemia compared to those with normoglycaemia treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as to determine this parameter in the assessment of reperfusion effectiveness. STEMI being a very serious type of heart attack, one of the leading causes of death worldwide, this is an important piece of original research. 

 

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of high interest for the Journal of Integrative Cardiology Open Access.  

 

A few corrections (already incorporated in the galley proof) in the manuscript are required. Some common errors in the manuscript are – 

·       “ST segment” must be hyphenated in all the places. 

·       “,” was omitted on numerous occasions, e.g., after “consequently” in the 1^st sentence of Background in the Abstract section, after “admission” in the 1^st sentence of Results in the Abstract section, and so on. 

·       Articles were omitted a few times, e.g., omission of “a” before “percutaneous” in the last sentence of Background in the Abstract section, omission of “the” before “systemic” in the 4^th sentence in the Introduction section. 

o   The other errors are listed below – 

·       A shorter title would be preferable as the title is too long. 

In the Abstract section – 

   Under Results – 

·       In the 6^th sentence, the full form of “MACE” must be mentioned. 

In the Material and Methods section – 

  In the 1^st paragraph – 

·       In the 1^st sentence, “of” must be inserted after “total”, and “ethic” must be replaced with “ethical”. 

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “and” must be inserted before “primary”. 

·       In the 4^th sentence, “exclusion” is misspelled, and “and” must be inserted before “patient”. 

In the Results section – 

  In the 1^st paragraph – 

·       In the 8^th sentence, “the” before “higher” and “weaker” must be removed and “,” must be inserted after “glycemia”. 

  In the 2^nd paragraph – 

·       In the last sentence, “incidence” must be in the plural, and “was” must be replaced with “were”.
