Myocardial repair/remodelling following infarction: roles of local factors.
Heart failure is a global health problem, appearing most commonly in patients with previous myocardial infarction (MI). Cardiac remodelling, particularly fibrosis, seen in both the infarcted and non-infarcted myocardium is recognized to be a major determinant of the development of impaired ventricular function, leading to a poor prognosis. Elucidating cellular and molecular mechanisms responsib...
متن کاملNeutrophil roles in left ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction
Polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMNs; neutrophils) serve as key effector cells in the innate immune system and provide the first line of defense against invading microorganisms. In addition to producing inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and undergoing a respiratory burst that stimulates the release of reactive oxygen species, PMNs also degranulate to release components that kill pathogens. ...
متن کاملCardiac rehabilitation following myocardial infarction.
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...
متن کاملMyocardial 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.
متن کاملCardiac 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 ...
