ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patient with Left Ventricular Assist Device
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute myocardial infarction is a rare event in a patient with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). We present a case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a LVAD patient.

Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy is not associated with increased in-hospital adverse events in patients experiencing first non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: A single center study
Background: There is conflicting data about prognostic implication of electrocardiographic (ECG) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with first non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to examine the association of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on admission electrocardiogram with adverse outcomes in patients with NSTEMI. Methods: In the present study, ...
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 کاملSignificance of exercise induced ST segment elevation in patients with previous myocardial infarction
In order to determine the significance of exercise induced ST segment elevation in patients with previous myocardial infarction, we have studied 156 patients, 26 months (mean) after myocardial infarction. Each patient underwent 16 lead precordial electrocardiographic mapping before, during, and after exercise and in addition coronary arteriography was performed. There was no significant differe...
متن کاملبررسی تغییرات قطعهی ST در روش 15 اشتقاقی در بیماران مبتلا به سندروم کرونری حاد
Background & Objective: Patients with ischemic heart disease classified to two major groups: patients with stable angina and patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Previous studies showed that posterior segment of left ventricle is a silent segment on ECG, and routine 12 leads electrocardiogram (ECG) is not sensitive for evaluation of posterior infarction. This study designed for evaluati...
متن کاملRelationship of Left Atrial Global Peak Systolic Strain with Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction and Brain Natriuretic Peptide Level in Patients Presenting with Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND In patients presenting with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, we investigated the relationship of left atrial deformational parameters evaluated by 2-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) with conventional echocardiographic diastolic dysfunction parameters and brain natriuretic peptide level. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 74 non-ST segment elevation myocardial infa...
