Serum neprilysin levels are associated with myocardial stunning after ST-elevation myocardial infarction

SERUM IgE AND BETA 2 MICROGLOBULIN LEVELS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Serum IgE and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. The levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. The immunological method used for the determinations was ELISA Patients with myocardial infarction showed an...

ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Background—In the United States, efforts are underway to improve timely access to percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The Joint Commission (TJC) and the American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) have developed standardized definitions and clinical performance measures for STEMI. The purpose of this study was to dete...

Association of serum ADAMTS-7 levels with left ventricular reverse remodeling after ST-elevation myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND Left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with a good prognosis. Serum levels of ADAMTS-7 might be used for the prognosis of STEMI. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ADAMTS-7 levels and LVRR. METHODS This was a prospective study of 104 patients with STEMI who underwent revascular...

acute st-elevation myocardial infarction after coronary stent fracture

the invention of the drug-eluting stent (des) has brought about revolutionary changes in the field of interventional cardiology. in the des era, in-stent restenosis has declined but new issues such as stent thrombosis have emerged. one of the emerging paradigms in the des era is stent fracture. there are reports about stent fracture leading to in-stent restenosis or stent thrombosis. most of th...
