Sociodemographic Characteristics Predicting Digital Health Intervention Use After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Acute anterior myocardial infarction after “Bonzai” use

Appropriate timing of surgical intervention after transmural acute myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE Recommended timing of coronary revascularization after transmural acute myocardial infarction ranges from immediate surgical intervention to repair 4 weeks after infarction. Such wide variation has created a dilemma in the management of these patients. The objective of this study was to delineate the optimal timing of revascularization after transmural acute myocardial infarction in a...

Percutaneous coronary intervention in stable patients after acute myocardial infarction.

Reperfusion after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AMI) remains the cornerstone of the initial therapy. Although reperfusion can be accomplished with either primary angioplasty or fibrinolytic therapy, clinical trial data reveal improved outcome with primary angioplasty. Furthermore, primary angioplasty with coronary stenting results in less repeat revascularization than balloo...

Information induction for predicting acute myocardial infarction.

We show how to make an unsupervised discrimination of disease and nondisease states by measuring information and using newer notions of inductive reason. We also present a new theory of group-based reference values that is based on measuring information uncertainty. We use data on the isoenzymes creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase-1 (LD1) and on the percentage of LD1 from 101 p...

Predicting Myocardial Functional Recovery After Acute Myocardial Infarction: Relationship Between Myocardial Strain and Coronary Flow Reserve

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between myocardial strain and coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the prediction of myocardial functional recovery after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with anterior ST elevation AMI were analyzed. Left ventricular (LV) strain, determined by 2-dimensional speckle track...
