Noninvasive, Transthoracic, Low-Frequency Ultrasound Augments Thrombolysis in a Canine Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction
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 ...

Incidence of blood circulation system illnesses among liquidators of Chernobyl accident living in Belarus
In this paper, the incidence of the illnesses of blood circulation system (IBCS) among liquidators of the Chernobyl accident living in Belarus is described. 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 ...

A Contemporary Review of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Pathophysiology, treatment options and hot topics
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). The evolution of these therapies accelerated with the ...

Role of the left ventricular cavity-to-myocardium count ratio in resting technetium-99m-Sestamibi SPECT in the recovery of myocardial function after thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction
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 demonstrates that the resting 99mTc-Sestamibi SPECT CM ratio can be used to ...

Physiology and Pathology of Coronary Microcirculation
The heart is a unique organ in many respects since its activity is mandatory to sustain life. The heart’s circulatory system and coronary flow regulation are highly adapted to the vital role of the heart in sustaining life and to everyday physiological challenges. Understanding coronary physiology is key for treating patients with ischemic heart disease in general, and ...
