Advances in thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

Comparison of the Success Rate of Treatment with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention PCI versus Thrombolytic Treatment in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Local Hospitals in Iran

Background and Objective: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is caused due to coronary artery occlusion and divided into two forms of ST-elevation (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction. This study aimed to determine the success rate of treatment with primary PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) versus thrombolysis in the establishment of perfusion and to evaluate the sho...

Anti-streptokinase Antibody Detection before and Immediately after Streptokinase Therapy in Patients with Myocardial Infarction

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common and serious diseases resulting from coronary artery occlusion and major reduction in blood flow. Streptokinase as a thrombolytic is considered the first and most important therapeutic intervention for reperfusion following MI in most countries including Iran. Our previous study showed that, the prevalence of high antibody titers a...

Comparing the Mean Age of Acute Myocardial Infarction Occurrance in 1989 and 1999

Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death in most countries. With the advent of modern coronary care units CCU during the last decades particularly since 1960, the thrombolytic therapy and interventional techniques including angioplasty; the mortality of AMI has decreased significantly. Moreover the vigilant approach towards diagnosis and control of risk factors ...

New advances in the management of acute coronary syndromes: 2. Fibrinolytic therapy for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

معیارهای جدید برای تشخیص سریع سکته حاد قلبی در حضور بلوک شاخه ای چپ

It is a common Knowledge that the ECG diagnosis of myocardial infarction in the presence of left bundle ­branch block (LBBB) is extremely difficult and often impossible. Physicians frequenlly recommend that patients with chest pain in the presence of LBBB receive thrombolytic therapy or urgent coronary arteriography assuming that acute injury and ischemia cannot be interpreted in the presence o...
