The regression of myocardial oedema in the first 3 months post ST-elevation MI in patients treated with primary angioplasty

چکیده
Background Myocardial oedema and salvaged area at risk (ARA) have been described as markers of prognosis and as surrogate markers for clinical trials. The time-course of oedema has been described in a canine infarct model but the in vivo time course following revascularised MI has not been described. CMR is able to characterise oedema in myocardial tissue using T2-weighted sequences. We therefore aimed to determine the timecourse of post infarct myocardial oedema using serial CMR imaging.

The natural time course of myocardial oedema in the 12 months post ST-elevation MI in patients treated with primary angioplasty
Background Myocardial oedema, myocardial salvage and myocardial salvage index, have been described as markers of prognosis and surrogate markers for clinical trials. The timecourse of oedema following revascularised MI has been described in the first 6 months following PPCI but there is wide disagreement on the time to complete resolution. We therefore aimed to determine the time-course of post...
متن کاملNo-Reflow Phenomenon in Patients with ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction, Treated with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Study of Predictive Factors
Introduction: No-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. Herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of...
متن کاملComparison 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...
متن کاملVitamin D deficiency predicts the ST elevation type of myocardial infarction in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
According to studies, a significant association exists between the low levels of vitamin D and cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI). In a prospective, case control study, 88 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and Non-STEMI were enrolled. The plasma level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] was obtained at the time ...
