Anticoagulation for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Adjunctive anticoagulant therapy reduces the risk of recurrent infarction and death in patients with STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving fibrinolytic therapy.1–5 Unfractionated heparin (UFH), the first anticoagulant evaluated for this indication,1 continues to be used because of its predominantly nonrenal clearance, short half-life, reversibility, and the familiarity of ...
متن کاملAcute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: critical care perspective.
More than 1.2 million patients suffer from new or recurrent ischemic events occur annually. This includes an estimated 565,000 cases of first and 300,000 cases of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI). Although mortality from acute MI has declined in recent years, it still remains high at 25% to 30%. Despite its high mortality, prognosis can be improved with timely and effective use of evidence-...
متن کاملDevelopment of systems of care for ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients: current state of ST-elevation myocardial infarction care.
Advances in the treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) over the past 20 years have resulted in dramatic reductions in death attributable to STEMI. In large part, this reduction has been due to early reperfusion and advances in medical therapy.1 The American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines and the European Society of Cardiology guidelines ...
متن کاملFalse Positive ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious disease in clinical practice. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of this critical illness can lead to prompt reperfusion, and it enables the reduction of cardiac ischemic damage and results in improved subsequent outcomes. The shorter the time to reperfusion, the greater the benefits. The American College of Cardiology/American...
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...
