Thrombo-embolism in Acute and in Healed Myocardial Infarction

Thrombo-embolism in acute and in healed myocardial infarction. II. Systemic and pulmonary arterial occlusion.

Opium dependency and in-hospital outcome of acute myocardial infarction

  Background :Impact of substance abuse on outcome of hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent question. Available studies show disagreements over its impact, thus we performed this study to find a clear answer.   Methods : In a cross sectional study, 304 patients (include 152 consecutive opium dependents and equal number of independents) with acute MI admitted ...

Complement factors in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Unstable Angina

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most important and lethal diseases in the world. CAD represents a board spectrum of disease from silent ischemia at one end to sudden cardiac death at the other end. The middle of this spectrum consists of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina pectoris (UA). Recent data show that the inflammatory process plays a major r...

Prognostic Impact of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Risk Index on Hospitalization Mortality of Patient with Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the deadly cardiovascular diseases. One of the indexes proposed in these patients for risk stratification is the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI), which includes three parameters of systolic blood pressure, age, and heart rate. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TRI on in-hospit...

Activation patterns in healed experimental myocardial infarction.

The maximum amplitude of vector loops formed by summing orthogonally recorded bipolar electrograms has been shown to reflect the direction of activation in cardiac muscle. To investigate whether components of vector loops could provide information about different activation directions in local areas of myocardium, we correlated "instantaneous vectors" with isochronal activation patterns in an i...
