Simultaneous Myocardial Injury

چکیده
© 2007 Elsevier. All rights reserved. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) and myocardial ischemia/infarction may occur simultaneously because massive UGIB compromises myocardial perfusion and reflex tachycardia increases myocardial oxygen consumption. Many studies were conducted to evaluate the causes and consequences of UGIB after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and have found that decreased gastrointestinal blood flow and antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy during AMI are two of the major causes of bleeding [1]. Myocardial injury after UGIB is frequently ignored because the Received: June 30, 2006 Accepted: September 11, 2006 Address correspondence and reprint requests to: Dr DengChyang Wu, Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, 100 Tzyou 1st Road, Kaohsiung 807, Taiwan.

The results obtained in the present investigations point to a definite correlation between the onset of myocardial injury, electrocardiographic changes and biochemical changes. Changes in the electrocardiogram and elevated serum levels were paralleled by an increased excretion of magnesium in urine as early as one hour. Serum calcium and serum potassium levels did not show any significant ...

Background: Simultaneous electrocardiographic (ECG) changes are seen in hemorrhagic brain events even in the absence of associated myocardial infarction (MI). This study was designed to assess the role of ECG changes to predict true MI in patients with hemorrhagic brain trauma. Methods: Data of 153 patients with traumatic brain injury and concomitant ECG changes were recorded. Enzyme study w...

Objective: Previous studies reported that asafetida from Ferula assa-foetida Linn. species and its essential oil (AEO) have antioxidant effects. In the present study, the effect of AEO was evaluated on ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: 1) control group, 2) vehicle group, 3-5) AEO groups and, 6) car...

Diagnosis of myocardial infarction is very important in a patient with chest pain. Chest pain is not always present or it may be from other causes rather than myocardial infarction. Q wave is present in 30] of infarction. ST,T wave changes are present in all myocardial infarctions, but these changes also are present in myocardial ischernia. For these reasons diagnosis of myocardial infarction...
