Autonomic disturbance at onset of acute myocardial infarction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of 74 patients seen within 30 minutes of the onset of acute myocardial infarction 68 (92%) had signs of autonomic imbalance. Excessive vagal activity was evident in 41 (55%) and there was sympathetic overactivity in 27 (36%). The high incidence of sudden death in the acute phase of a coronary attack probably results from the electrical imbalance caused by autonomic disturbance. This disturbance must therefore be taken into account in any prophylactic regimen against the lethal early ventricular dysrhythmias.

STUDY OF THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ACTIVITY LEVEL AT ONSET OF SYMPTOMS AND PATIENT OUTCOME OF F IRST ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
This study sought to compare the clinical features and outcome of a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with onset of symptoms during or within 30 minutes of exercise, at rest and in bed. Information collected using a standard questionnaire was used to relate activity at the onset of symptoms and in-hospital outcome in 500 consecutive patients admitted to our heart center with a first ...
متن کاملSudden cardiac death thirty years ago and at present. The role of autonomic disturbances in acute myocardial infarction revisited.
The most common cause of sudden cardiac death is ventricular fibrillation (VF). In addition to the status, size and location of the ventricular focus, a major pathogenic mechanism triggering VF is autonomic dysbalance (disturbance). This term refers to a wide range of reflex changes in the ratio of sympathetic to vagal ventricular activation over time, occurring immediately after coronary arter...

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...
