Infarct-related artery occlusion, tissue markers of ischaemia, and increased apoptosis in the peri-infarct viable myocardium.
AIMS Unfavourable cardiac remodelling often complicates acute myocardial infarction (AMI) as a result of increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. It is currently unclear whether ongoing or recurrent ischaemia is an independent determinant for increased apoptosis in peri-infarct viable myocardium. METHODS AND RESULTS In order to assess the link between infarct-related artery (IRA) occlusion, ischaem...
متن کاملWidespread myocardial inflammation and infarct-related artery patency.
BACKGROUND Diffuse coronary vascular inflammation is associated with acute coronary syndromes. However, it is unknown whether inflammation also occurs within the myocardium. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the presence of activated cells in unaffected remote myocardium of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in comparison to the peri-infarct region from the same cases, ...
متن کاملIs Early Infarct Artery Patency the Goal or Not?
Whereas the majority of influential cardiologists initially embraced the biotechnology achievement and TIM1 I superiority’ associated with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), now the previously beleaguered streptokinase and APSAC advocates are gaining their measure of revenge after years of being intellectually suppressed by the tPA advocate^.^-^ Early infarct artery patency at whatever cost (o...
متن کاملInfarct Artery Patency in Survivors of Myocardial Infarction
Background. In the minutes to days after myocardial infarction, endogenous lysis of an occlusive coronary arterial thrombus occurs in most subjects. Compared with those in whom thrombolysis does not occur, those with antegrade flow in the infarct artery have improved left ventricular performance, less left ventricular dilatation, and improved survival. This study was performed to assess intrins...
متن کاملInfluence of infarct artery patency on the relation between initial ST segment elevation and final infarct size.
Thirty seven patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied to determine the effect of perfusion of the infarct artery on the relation between the extent of initial ST segment elevation and final electrocardiographic infarct size. The sum of the initial peak ST elevations in all leads correlated with electrocardiographic infarct size in patients with anterior infarction and total occlus...
