Thrombolysis after acute myocardial infarction.
Appropriate use of a thrombolytic agent may save 20 to 30 lives per 1000 treatments. Thrombolysis should be considered in all patients presenting with cardiac chest pain lasting more than 30 minutes for up to 12 hours after symptom onset. ECG criteria include ST elevation of at least 1 mm in limb leads and/or at least 2 mm in two or more adjacent chest leads or left bundle branch block. There i...
متن کاملAcute myocardial infarction: thrombolysis.
nfarction is the most intensively studied medical intervention in the history of clinical investigation, with more than 200 000 patients enrolled in large scale, worldwide trials. The results of these trials have led to an irrevocably altered approach, with routine use of reperfusion treatment. Streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and new plas-minogen activators have been shown t...
متن کاملA randomized trial of late reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Thrombolysis and Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction-6 Study Group.
BACKGROUND Experimental and observational clinical studies of acute coronary occlusion have suggested that late reperfusion prevents infarct expansion and facilitates myocardial healing. The purpose of this trial was to assess whether infarct vessel patency could be achieved in late-entry patients and what benefit, if any, can be demonstrated. METHODS AND RESULTS In a double-blind fashion, 19...
متن کاملECG in Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Reperfusion Era
Acute myocardial infarction can be defined from a number of different perspectives related to clinical, electrocardiographic, biochemical and pathological characteristic. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most important diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and therefore it should be accomplished immediately at hospital admission. In fact, it r...
متن کامل[Thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction].
This is an extensive review of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction with discussions of the pathophysiology of occlusion, clinical occlusion and rationale for thrombolysis, thrombolytic agents, results of thrombolysis (incidence of reperfusion, left ventricular function, and mortality), complications of thrombolytic therapy, reocclusion, and current recommendations.
