Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy is not associated with increased in-hospital adverse events in patients experiencing first non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: A single center study
Background: There is conflicting data about prognostic implication of electrocardiographic (ECG) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with first non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to examine the association of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on admission electrocardiogram with adverse outcomes in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: In the present study, ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Thrombus in Acute St Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction
Objectives: To determine the frequency of left ventricular thrombus in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, relation of left ventricular thrombus to degree of left ventricular-dysfunction, and effects of adjuvant therapy on left ventricular thrombus formation. Material & Methods: It was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted at Cardiology Department, Hayatabad Medical Comple...
متن کاملNon-uniform recovery of left ventricular transmural mechanics in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND After a transient ischemic episode, the subendocardial region is more severely injured than outer subepicardial layers and may regain a proportionately greater degree of mechanical function in the longitudinal direction. We sought to explore left ventricular (LV) transmural mechanics in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) for determining the mechanism und...
متن کاملOutcomes and Prognostic Impact of Prophylactic Oral Anticoagulation in Anterior ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction
BACKGROUND The contemporary role of prophylactic anticoagulation following extensive anterior wall ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated anterior STEMI patients with left ventricle dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%) ("high risk"), categorized by prophylactic warfarin use, within a regional STEMI. Patients with pre-existing atr...
متن کاملST-Segment Elevation in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Four hundred and four patients who were admitted to the hospital with their first myocardial infarction within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms were studied. In 315 patients the ECG findings in 12 standards leads (I, II, aVF, aVR, aVL, V,-V6) showed the infarction to be in the anterior wall, the inferior wall, or in multiple areas. The patients in each of these three categories were further su...
