Relationship between corrected TIMI frame counts at three weeks and late survival after myocardial infarction

Relationship between corrected TIMI frame counts at three weeks and late survival after myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the corrected Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC) as a predictor of late survival after myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grades predict late survival after myocardial infarction. The CTFC provides a more reproducible measurement of infarct-related artery blood flow than the TIMI flow grade, and has ...

Corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame counts in diabetic patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC) in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries and diabetes mellitus, a condition known to be associated with microvascular dysfunction. METHODS Patients who underwent coronary angiography in Gazi University Hospital, Ankara, Turkey between January 2000 and January 2005 were studied. Co...

The relationship between acute myocardial infarction and periodontitis

Background: Periodontitis is common in adults and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of adult death in the world. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between CVD and periodontitis. Methods: Sixty patients with myocardial infarction (MI) as case and 63 subjects with periodontitis without MI as control were studied. Periodontitis was assessed according to Ramfjo...

The relationship between helicobacter pylori infection and myocardial infarction

Background: Coronary Artery Disease is known as the main cause of death in industrialized countries. Relation between this disease and some infections such as Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) has been shown in several studies. The purpose of this study was to dermine the relationship between Hypylori and mycardical infarctions. Methods: Seventy-three myocardial infarction patients and 78 individu...

Relationship between clinical features of acute myocardial infarction and ventricular runs 2 weeks to 1 year after infarction.
