Value of positive myocardial infarction imaging in coronary care units.
Positive myocardial imaging was undertaken on 120 unselected patients admitted to a coronary care unit with clinical suspicion of acute myocardial infarction. Multipurpose mobile gamma-cameras were used for serial imaging after administration of 99mtechnetium-labelled imidodiphosphonate, a low-cost radiopharmaceutical that is 97% specific for myocardial necrosis, with myocardial uptake and bloo...
متن کاملMonitoring Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated with Cardiogenic Shock — from the Emergency Room to Coronary Care Units

Such patients require immediate initiation of the most effective therapy, as well as a conti...
متن کاملIntegrin Beta-3 Gene Polymorphism and Risk for Myocardial Infarction in Premature Coronary Disease
Background: Contradictory results have been obtained regarding the role of integrin, beta 3 (ITGB3) gene polymorphisms in occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI). Objectives: We aimed to assess the association between 1565C/T polymorphism of ITGB3 gene and increased risk for acute MI in patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). <strong...
متن کاملThrombolytic therapy for myocardial infarction facilitated by mobile coronary care.
BACKGROUND The benefit of Thrombolytic Therapy (TT) for acute myocardial infarction is time sensitive. In Northern Ireland widespread availability of mobile coronary care units facilitates delivery of TT to heart attack victims. This region-wide prospective observational study assessed the efficacy of various methods of delivery of TT. METHODS All 15 acute hospitals providing acute coronary c...
