mortality between patients with and without myocardial infarction (MI) after successful intervention could still be clinically meaningful. But we must reject the other criticisms of Dr. Ioannidis and colleagues regarding the limitations of our study. The inferences are not based on a small number of unsuccessful procedures, but on an analysis of 5,850 patients with over 100 deaths, for which an...

Myocardial infarction following sternal surgery.

We report a case of myocardial infarction in a 32-year-old man undergoing sternal surgery. Thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery with no underlying atheromatous disease was demonstrated angiographically and successfully treated with intracoronary thrombolysis.

Cardiac rehabilitation following myocardial infarction.

This article provides an overview of current recommendations regarding cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after myocardial infarction and its clinical application. Evidence shows that exercise- based CR after cardiac events positively affects the extent of disability and level of quality of life, and has also important beneficial role in modifying morbidity and mortality. Cardiac rehabilitation is an ...

Myocardial infarction following surgical operations.

One hundred and forty-one randomly selected surgical patients, aged 35 years or over, were studied preoperatively, followed through their operative procedures, and reassessed during the first post-operative week for evidence of myocardial ischaemia associated with surgical operations under general anaesthesia. Of these patients 38% were found to have preoperative clinical evidence of heart dise...
