Non-Q wave myocardial infarction management strategies.
In this issue, Heggunje and colleagues dissect out from the VANQWISH Trial patients with non-Q wave myocardial infarction who had a prior myocardial infarction and compare outcomes to those who did not have a prior myocardial infarction. They evaluated the trial primary end-point of death or myocardial infarction at 1 and 12 months as well as the initial randomized treatment strategy. The botto...
متن کاملPerpetuation of the myth of the Q-wave versus the non-Q-wave myocardial infarction.
We would like to thank Karamanoukian, Donias and Bergsland for their remarks regarding our randomized trial of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with medically refractory myocardial ischemia and risk factors for early mortality with CABG. They raise two specific issues about our surgeons’ CABG methods: 1) variability in myocardial pr...
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملSignificance of the diagnostic Q wave of myocardial infarction.
SUMMARY Correlation between the QRS complex and postmortem ventricular anatomy was made in 1184 instances of normal conduction: (1) Mechanical reliance on the sheer presence or absence of a Q wave greater than 0.03 sec in duration led to "correct" diagnosis of infarction or not in 79% of the series. (2) With normal conduction, abnormal Q waves isolated to either the anteroseptal (Vl-V4) or infe...
متن کاملRupture of the right ventricular free wall after myocardial infarction.
Patient 75, years-old, with free wall rupture of the right ventricle, corrected with prolene 3.0 points anchored in bovine pericardium patch, promoting the closure of the rupture. The patient was discharged on the 59th day after surgery in good clinical ans laboratorial conditions.
