Persistence of systolic coronary flow reversal predicts irreversible dysfunction after reperfused anterior myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To investigate serial assessments of systolic coronary flow reversal in the infarct related artery for predicting poor left ventricular functional recovery after reperfused acute myocardial infarction. SETTING Regional hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS 49 patients with anterior acute myocardial infarction had transthoracic Doppler echocardiography to record coronary flow velocity in ...
متن کاملAssessing myocardial perfusion with the transthoracic Doppler technique in patients with reperfused anterior myocardial infarction: comparison with angiographic, enzymatic and electrocardiographic indices.
AIMS Doppler guidewire studies demonstrated that the no-reflow phenomenon in acute myocardial infarction is associated with characteristic coronary blood flow pattern. We investigated the potential of coronary flow measurement with transthoracic Doppler technique to detect the no-flow in the patients with reperfused infarction, and compared it to that of other modalities. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملManagement of a large coronary artery aneurysm with graft-coated stent during the acute phase of myocardial infarction
Coronary aneurysms in adults are rare clinical entities. Herein, we presented a 54-year-old man who was admitted with an acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction. The emergency coronary angiography revealed an isolated large aneurysm at the proximal segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient was successfully treated with a graft-coated stent
متن کاملTissue cardiovascular magnetic resonance demonstrates regional diastolic dysfunction in remote tissue early after inferior myocardial infarction.
PURPOSE To investigate regional diastolic and systolic function using tissue cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), early after transmural myocardial infarction of the inferior wall due to single proximal right coronary artery disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Velocity encoded CMR was used to measure early diastolic transmitral flow velocity (E), and regional, longitudinal, myocardial systolic...
