Pathophysiology, treatment options and hot topics Improvements In Stemi Treatment The immediate and long-term prognosis of patients experiencing an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has changed dramatically since the introduction of coronary reperfusion therapies during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). ...
Understanding coronary physiology is key for treating patients with ischemic heart disease in general, and patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) specifically. Coronary flow is regulated by myocardial oxygen consumption and can be increased by four-fold in healthy individuals. ...
The increase of the incidence of the IBCS as a whole was found to be 19.5%, that of hypertensive diseases 52.0%, and that of acute and subsequent myocardial infarction 53.2%. The incidence of cerebral infarction increased by a factor 10. An increase of the incidence of hypertensive diseases and cerebrovascular diseases was ...
The aim of this study was to assess the value of the Cavity-to-Myocardium count ratio (CM ratio) calculated in the resting 99mTc-Sestamibi SPECT images to identify myocardial functioning status and recovery of myocardial function in patients with acute myocardial insult who have received thrombolytic therapy. The study ...
Background - Limitations of coronary thrombolysis include the time to reperfusion, patency rate, and bleeding. We evaluated the use of noninvasive transcutaneous ultrasound to augment coronary thrombolysis. Methods and Results - In 24 dogs, a thrombotic occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery was induced and documented by 12-lead ECG and coronary angiography. After $60 minutes ...
