Acute heart failure after myocardial infarction.
We compared two groups of patients after acute myocardial infarction. First group was treated with fibrinolytics and they were hospitalized within six hours from the beginning of the first chest-symptoms, and second group that did not come within optimal time was treated with anticoagulants only. The patients were classified according to Killip-classification, shock-index and TIMI-risk-score af...
متن کاملHeart failure complicating acute myocardial infarction.
Factors predisposing the older person with acute myocardial infarction (MI) to develop heart failure (HF) include an increased prevalence of MI, multivessel coronary artery disease, decreased left ventricular (LV) contractile reserve, impairment of LV diastolic relaxation, increased hypertension, LV hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, valvular heart disease, and renal insufficiency. HF associated w...
متن کاملPrevention of Heart Failure after Myocardial Infarction
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is highly prevalent and is frequently associated with metabolic risk factors. Patients with HFpEF have only a slightly lower mortality than patients with HF and reduced EF. The pathophysiology of HFpEF is currently incompletely understood, which precludes specific therapy. Both HF phenotypes demonstrate distinct cardiac remodeling processes...
متن کاملHeart failure after acute myocardial infarction: a lost battle in the war on heart failure?
Improvements in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), especially use of reperfusion therapy, have led to larger numbers of survivors. In patients who would have survived despite reperfusion therapy, use of this treatment should lead to greater myocardial salvage and a reduced extent of ventricular injury in many. However, others who might not have survived previously may now do so...
متن کاملAldosterone blockade in post-acute myocardial infarction heart failure.
Development of heart failure (HF) or left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) significantly increases mortality post acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Aldosterone contributes to the development and progression of HF post AMI, and major guidelines now recommend aldosterone blockade in this setting. However, lack of practical experience with aldosterone blockade may make clinicians hesitant ...
