Biomaterial strategies for alleviation of myocardial infarction
World Health Organization estimated that heart failure initiated by coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (MI) leads to 29 per cent of deaths worldwide. Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries and is expected to become a global epidemic within the twenty-first century. MI, the main cause of heart failure, leads to a loss of cardiac tissue impa...
متن کاملImproving Delivery of a Biomaterial Payload in Myocardial Infarction.
Survival after an acute coronary syndrome has greatly improved because of advances in thrombolytic therapy, stabilization of the culprit lesion such as with coronary stents, and the use of pharmacological approaches to prevent recurrent thrombotic and arrhythmic events. Despite these approaches, however, myocardial injury culminating in myocardial infarction (MI) continues to be an all too comm...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
متن کاملNon-Q wave myocardial infarction management strategies.
In this issue, Heggunje and colleagues dissect out from the VANQWISH Trial patients with non-Q wave myocardial infarction who had a prior myocardial infarction and compare outcomes to those who did not have a prior myocardial infarction. They evaluated the trial primary end-point of death or myocardial infarction at 1 and 12 months as well as the initial randomized treatment strategy. The botto...
متن کاملEmotional Triggers of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death around the world. Identification of triggers that lead to acute coronary events in ischemic heart diseases and their prevention can reduce the complications of myocardial infarction. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine emotional triggers in patients with acute Myocardial Infarction (MI). Materials and Metho...
