PERIODIC ASYSTOLE FOLLOWING MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND CARDIAC DEPRESSANT DRUGS

Periodic asystole following myocardial infarction and cardiac depressant drugs.

Cardiac 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...

Cardiac 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 ...

Complete heart block and asystole following blunt cardiac trauma

Cardiac contusion is a well-recognized complication of blunt chest trauma. Various conduction system disorders have been reported in association with this condition, the most common being right bundle branch block. Complete heart block (CHB) is seen rarely. Most cases of CHB are transient. We present the case of an 80-year-old woman who developed CHB and asystole following blunt cardiac trauma....

Nerve growth factor promotes cardiac repair following myocardial infarction.

RATIONALE Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte survival, which are both desirable for postinfarction myocardial healing. Nonetheless, the NGF potential for cardiac repair has never been investigated. OBJECTIVE To define expression and localization of NGF and its high-affinity receptor TrkA (tropomyosin-related receptor A) in the human infarcted heart and to invest...
