Pidemiology of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Sawador, Brazil: I. Incidence, Lethality, and Mortality1
نویسنده
چکیده
Among cardiovascular diseases, acute myocardial infarction stands out as the leading threat to human life, especially for men in the developed countries, where the morbidity and mortality attributable to this and other cardiovascular diseases is known reasonably well (1-3). This knowledge has enabled researchers to study other epidemiologic aspects of ischemic heart diseaseincluding those relating to risk factors (2, 47), sudden death (7, S), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young men and women (g-14) geographic differences (15, 1 G), family traits of individuals developing early AM1 (17, 18), silent AM1 (Ig), and survival of AM1 victims (20-25).

متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
