Looking for myocardial viability after a STICH trial: not enough to close the door.
Ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction due to coronary artery disease (CAD) is steadily increasing as a consequence of the aging of the population and of improved survival of patients with acute coronary syndromes and currently represents the first cause of heart failure (1). Mechanisms of LV dysfunction in CAD patients are complex and have been elucidated in recent years. A landmark unders...
متن کاملAssessment of Myocardial Viability After Thrombolysis
T he time course of absolute myocardial ischemia is rapid. With the interruption of blood flow to the myocardium, aerobic metabolism ceases within 10 seconds,1 and soon even anaerobic metabolism is inhibited due to the accumulation of H', lactate, and other metabolites. To preserve limited in situ stores of preformed high-energy phosphate, systolic contraction is markedly inhibited, generally c...
متن کاملTesting Soon After Myocardial Infarction
men completed a heart-rate-limited (HRL) protocol and 107 completed a symptom-limited (SXL) protocol 3 weeks after the acute event. In the HRL protocol, effort terminated at a heart rate of 130 beats/min in the absence of a limiting symptom, exertional hypotension or ventricular tachycardia. Peak heart rate was not an end point in the SXL protocol. Despite a higher peak heart rate and work load...
متن کاملBehavior-Based Safety Still a Viable Strategy
Introduction An article in the December 2002 issue of Safety & Health, asserted that behavior-based safety has run its course and is in decline. A construction worker and trades unionist for many years, I witnessed too many accidents resulting from unsafe behavior. Since then I have spent many years researching and implementing behavioral safety in 12 industries on four continents. I was a Prof...
