METHODS AND RESULTS A cohort study based on the Nottingham Heart Attack Register of 1716 sequential patients discharged alive from two acute teaching hospitals following admission in 1992. The ...
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 کاملPrognosis and thallium-201 scintigraphy in patients admitted with chest pain without confirmed acute myocardial infarction.
Exercise and rest thallium scintigraphy and exercise electrocardiography were performed after discharge in 158 patients aged less than 76 years admitted with chest pain in whom a suspected diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction had not been confirmed. During a follow up of 12-24 months (median 14 months) there were 10 cardiac events--that is, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction or cardiac d...
متن کاملHEART RATE: A PREDICTOR OF EARLY MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
A number of epidemiologic studies have reported a positive relationship between heart rate, cardiovascular disease and mortality. To examine the correlation between heart rate and mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 2147 patients hospitalized in coronary care units in Isfahan were investigated in a cross-sectional study. Their heart rate was measured according to an electroca...
