A novel Doppler echocardiographic score reflecting cardiac functional status can predict adverse outcome in acute myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND E/e' and s' are thought to reflect left ventricular diastolic and systolic function, respectively. However, there are no reports on the combined use of E/e' and s' in predicting the outcome in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS For 20 months beginning in October 2006, we enrolled 65 AMI patients who had undergone Swan-Ganz (SG) catheterization and echocardiography just afte...
متن کاملOpium dependency and in-hospital outcome of acute myocardial infarction
Background :Impact of substance abuse on outcome of hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent question. Available studies show disagreements over its impact, thus we performed this study to find a clear answer. Methods : In a cross sectional study, 304 patients (include 152 consecutive opium dependents and equal number of independents) with acute MI admitted ...
متن کاملIn-hospital outcome of acute myocardial infarction in correlation with 'thrombolysis in myocardial infarction' risk score.
BACKGROUND Effective risk stratification is integral to management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a simple integer score based on 8 high-risk parameters that can be used at the bedside for risk stratification of patients at presentation with STEMI. OBJECTIVES To evaluate t...
متن کاملMRI relaxation parameters predict functional outcome after experimental myocardial infarction
Background Characterization of infarcted myocardial tissue by current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) methods is predominantly carried out after i.v. application of Gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents (CA). However, recent advances in CMR enable the acquisition of parametric maps making use of endogenous tissue properties for diagnostic purposes, which may supersede the need for injec...
متن کاملA prospective comparison of echocardiographic wall motion score index and radionuclide ejection fraction in predicting outcome following acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To characterise echocardiographic wall motion score index (WMSI) as a surrogate measure of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to compare its prognostic value with that of EF measured by radionuclide ventriculography (RNV). DESIGN A prospective study to compare baseline echocardiographic WMSI with RNV EF in consecutive patients thr...
