Anaphylactic shock and acute myocardial infarction following intravenous ceftazidine

Acute Cerebral Infarction Following Intravenous Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitor for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Stroke is a rare but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Currently, glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor is used in clinical practice for acute coronary syndromes and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). The incidence of stroke in patients receiving GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor during PCIs is very low. We report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with AMI and suf...

Acute myocardial infarction after amoxycillin - induced anaphylactic shock in a young adult with normal coronary arteries

Acute Kidney Injury, Myocardial Infarction and Death Following Brake Fluid Poisoning; A Case Report

Background: Ethylene glycol is a toxic alcohol which is used in brake fluid, antifreeze, coolants, preservatives and chemical solvents. Ethylene glycol poisoning usually results in depression of the central nervous system, renal insufficiency and cardiopulmonary compromise, while laboratory findings include metabolic acidosis, increased anion gap, increased osmolar gap and calcium oxalate cryst...

Intravenous Nitroglycerin in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Vasodilator therapy has been shown to improve ventricular function in patients with left ventricular failure complicating acute myocardial infarction. Sublingual nitroglycerin also improves ventricular function in these patients but its effects are transient and variable. Infusion of intravenous nitroglycerin in 12 patients with acute infarction resulted in a decrease in left ventricular fillin...

Intravenous Magnesium in Acute Myocardial Infarction

In recent decades, the management of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (MI) has progressed substantially through the testing (and acceptance or rejection) of a number of different hypotheses. In the 1960s, recognition of the risks of early ventricular fibrillation led to the establishment of coronary care units, emphasis on early hospitalization of patients, and often, the use...
