Imaging of Myocardial Inflammation Post ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

The treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) has focused heavily on early reperfusion of the infarct-related artery. However, the inflammatory processes in the infarct that occur shortly after MI and govern wound healing in the heart have not been targeted therapeutically. Perhaps this has resulted from our inability to visualize these processes. In contrast to coronary angiography, which has cl...

Predictors of Post-traumatic Growth in Patients With Myocardial Infarction

Background: Some people experience positive psychological changes in various aspects after a stressful event. These positive changes, known as Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), are often due to people’s need to adapt to the challenges ahead. Objective: This study aims to determine the predictors of PTG in patients with myocardial infarction. Methods: This is a descriptive-correlational study. Part...

Depression post-myocardial infarction.

Van Melle et al (2007) reported that cardiac prognosis post-myocardial infarction was not improved by antidepressant treatment (MIND–IT trial). The SADHART and ENRICHD trials reported similar findings and Carney & Freedland (2007), in their commentary in the same issue, suggest these negative findings are a result of insufficient statistical power in the trials. These results are disappointing ...

Post–myocardial Infarction Care

• Objective: To review secondary prevention strategies for patients with acute coronary syndrome. • Methods: Review of the literature. • Results: Patients with acute myocardial infarction represent an important high-risk cohort in which secondary vascular disease prevention is likely to be particulary effective and cost-effective. Lifestyle modification such as regular exercise, weight manageme...
