Coronary thrombosis and platelet / fibrin microemboli in death associated with acute myocardial infarction RICHARD
نویسنده
چکیده
The frequency and clinical significance of platelet/fibrin microemboli in the microcirculation were investigated in 24 patients whose deaths (before and during hospital admission) were associated with acute myocardial infarction. An acute coronary thrombus was present in all the hearts. In nine hearts an acute thrombus was found in more than one major epicardial coronary artery. A total of 35 acute thrombi were found in the 24 hearts. Platelet/fibrin microemboli were found in 19 (79%) hearts. Eighteen patients died in hospital. The hearts of 16 of these cases showed microemboli; 16 had important arrhythmias or various forms of heart block; 13 showed

Background and Aim: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Epidemiological studies indicate that MI results from complex interactions between long-term environmental influences, concomitant disorders, and genetic susceptibility factors. Identification of genetic risk factors, particularly in premature MI, is very important. Since thrombosis plays a cri...

Stent thrombosis as a complication of percutaneous coronary intervention frequently is associated with deadly events such as myocardial infarction and sudden death. Definitions of stent thrombosis have not been in a uniform manner in different clinical studies. Two episodes of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction nearly two years after implanting a drug – eluting stent in a 58-year-...
متن کاملThrombi in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Over the past 35 years, the view has evolved that the acute coronary syndromes, ie, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, are caused by plaque rupture and formation of a platelet thrombus. There is at least a transient total or subtotal coronary occlusion in all cases of acute myocardial infarction. Q-wave infarcts are thought to differ from non–Q-wave infarcts by m...
متن کاملMicroemboli and microvascular obstruction in acute coronary thrombosis and sudden coronary death: relation to epicardial plaque histopathology.
OBJECTIVES This study examined myocardial microvascular emboli and obstruction, and related these to plaque in the epicardial coronary arteries supplying the affected microvessels. BACKGROUND Epicardial coronary thrombosis often causes microemboli and microvascular obstruction. The consequences of myocardial microvessel obstruction and myocyte necrosis are substantial, yet histopathologic cha...
