Limiting Infarct Size in ST-Segment Myocardial Infarction: The Holy Grail of Reperfusion Therapy.
A cute thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery usually produces myocardial ischemia that can result in myocardial infarction if reperfusion is not restored. Reperfusion injury from reintroduction of blood and oxygen into the ischemic area at risk can result in additional myocyte cell death (1,2). Whereas early reperfusion therapy has been shown to reduce infarct size by decreasing ischemic in...
متن کاملPharmacological agents for reducing myocardial infarct size in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Major progress has been made over the last two decades for the treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The major objective of this treatment is to reduce infarct size, which is the major prognostic factor in this population. Most of the efforts have been focused on improving reperfusion therapy in order to open as quickly as possible the culprit coronary a...
متن کاملPost-conditioning reduces infarct size and edema in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine whether post-conditioning at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention could reduce reperfusion-induced myocardial edema in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). BACKGROUND Myocardial edema is a reperfusion injury with potentially severe consequences. Post-conditioning is a cardioprotective therapy that reduces in...
متن کاملCorrelation between leukocyte count and infarct size in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
INTRODUCTION Regarding the inflammatory mechanisms involved in ischemic heart disease, currently the leukocyte count is the subject of studies related to its association with the prognosis and mortality of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Our aim is correlate the leukocyte count rise with the size of STEMI, evaluated with the area under the curve (AUC) and the peak of necrosi...
متن کاملCardiac MRI evaluation of infarct size with thrombus aspiration during ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the treatment of choice in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) throughout the last years. A significant number of studies have demonstrated a morbidity and mortality benefit over thrombolysis, which has been attributed to better coronary perfusion in patients undergoing primary PCI. Even though it usually a...
