Systemic hypertension following myocardial revascularization

Redefining myocardial infarction following coronary revascularization: time for clarity?

Myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization is very common and, at this time, we still do not have a clear definition. The universal definition for MI was published in 2007 and was revised in 2012. However, it has a lot of shortcomings and has not been correlated with clinical outcomes or prognostic significance. This definition used a postprocedural biomarker for defining percu...

Acute pleuropulmonary complications detected by computed tomography following myocardial revascularization.

INTRODUCTION Pleuropulmonary changes are common following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery performed with a saphenous vein graft, with or without an internal mammary artery. The presence of atelectasis or pleural effusions reflects the thoracic trauma. PURPOSE To define the postoperative incidence of changes in the lung and in the pleural space and to evaluate the influence of the trau...

Systemic inflammatory response following acute myocardial infarction

Acute cardiomyocyte necrosis in the infarcted heart generates damage-associated molecular patterns, activating complement and toll-like receptor/interleukin-1 signaling, and triggering an intense inflammatory response. Inflammasomes also recognize danger signals and mediate sterile inflammatory response following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Inflammatory response serves to repair the hear...
