Assessment of "microvascular no-reflow phenomenon" using technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin scintigraphy in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was the scintigraphic evaluation of clinical no-reflow phenomenon. BACKGROUND In patients with acute myocardial infarction, the relationship of the severity of reduction of microvascular reflow to the ischemia time or to the secondary extension of myocardial necrosis is poorly understood, and we accordingly conducted a scintigraphic evaluation of clinical no-r...
متن کاملHyperglycemia and no-reflow phenomenon in acute myocardial infarction.
Phenomenon in Acute Myocardial Infarction Dr. Iwakura and colleagues in a recent issue of the Journal (1) conclude that, from a retrospective analysis of 146 patients, hyperglycemia might be associated with impaired microvascular function after acute myocardial infarction. The investigators describe an independent relation between elevated blood glucose levels on admission and no-reflow phenome...
متن کاملNo-Reflow Phenomenon in Patients with ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction, Treated with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Study of Predictive Factors
Introduction: No-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. Herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of...
متن کاملNo-reflow phenomenon and lesion morphology in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND The no-reflow phenomenon is associated with poor functional and clinical outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the era of primary intervention, accurately identifying lesions at high risk of no reflow is of crucial importance. At present, no study into the relationship between lesion morphology and no reflow has been performed. The aim of this study was to ...
متن کاملAssociation between hyperglycemia and the no-reflow phenomenon in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the association between hyperglycemia and the no-reflow phenomenon in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is associated with increased risks of heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and death after AMI, but its underlying mechanism remains unknown. METHODS A total of 146 consecutive patients with a first AMI were studied by intrac...
