A total of 185 chest x-ray films taken on 50 consecutive admissions to a coronary care unit were assessed independently for specific abnormalities by three observers. The commonest abnormality was upper lobe pulmonary venous congestion. When this was present by itself it did not appear to affect prognosis. Pulmonary oedema occurred in 12 of the patients, was associated with more pronounced pulm...
متن کاملThe initial chest x-ray in acute myocardial infarction. Prediction of early and late mortality and survival.
To evaluate the importance of the initial chest x-ray in predicting mortality and survival after acute myocardial infarction, the degree of pulmonary congestion, cardiothoracic ratio and left-heart dimension on the initial chest x-ray obtained from 273 patients within 24 hours of admission after acute myocardial infarction were related to early (30 days) and late (6 months, 1 year) mortality. T...
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 کاملOxidised LDL in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: The metabolism of many fats, including free fatty acids and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine the association between circulating ox-LDL and acute myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: The case control study conducted on 43 patients with acute myocardial infarction ...
