Article history: Received 8 December 2016 Accepted 31 March 2017 Available online 13 April 2017 6 months. Thrombophilia workup revealed a homozygous MTHFR mutation for C677T gene. Nine months after the event, he had a repeat CT angiogram which showed resolution of the filling defect in his LAD and, repeat MRI which showed no wall motion abnormalities (even in the region of scar) and preserved LV systolic function. He reached his target heart

Association of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Gene C677T and A1298C Polymorphisms with Myocardial Infarction From North of Fars Province
Background: The association between Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism and Coronary Artery diseases risk has been both confirmed and refuted in a number of published studies. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR (C677T, A1298C) contributed to the development of myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods: The present case-contro...

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...

Modifiable risk factors for CHD include high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, and stress. When a patient presents with the typical features of CHD (like ours) but do not have the modifiable risk factors, genetic causes should be considered. A limited number of genetic variants are proven to be independent risk factors for thromboembolism. ...
متن کاملFactors associated with prehospital delay in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Introduction: Treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is time related, so delay in treatment could affect prognosis. Recognizing pre-hospital or in-hospital delays in initiating treatment and reducing these factors is very efficacious in treatment of these patients. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out on 227 patients with acute myocardial infarction. Demographi...
متن کاملTrends in the Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in Patients with Myocardial Infarction in the South of Iran: 2008 to 2014
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Management of risk factors and the other prevention services in recent years lead to a significant decrease in AMI incidence. However, to examine the success of those strategies to control diabetes, this study aimed to identify the trends in prevalence of diabetes melli...
