Rapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract:

To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased compared to that in the control [18.7 +/- 0.13 (mean +/- SD, n = 100 ) vs. 5.31 +/- 0.13, n = 50] µg/l. Measurement of CTn-I accurately detects MI in patients and should facilitate the diagnosis and management of such patients.

Rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

At present the ideal method for the very early and very rapid diagnosis of acute infarction is still elusive, making it difficult to implement strategies in large numbers of patients. With further research and conjoint biochemical and imaging approaches, however, it is likely that the early diagnosis of infarction and detection of ischemia will be possible.

Diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has to be made early in the emergency triage since maximal mortality occurs within first hour and the benefits of all interventions are greater once these are instituted early. Diagnosis is easy and based on simple principals of good history, physical examination, early and complete 12 lead electrocardiogram and use of echocardiography which should...

Emotional Triggers of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death around the world. Identification of triggers that lead to acute coronary events in ischemic heart diseases and their prevention can reduce the complications of myocardial infarction. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine emotional triggers in patients with acute Myocardial Infarction (MI). Materials and Metho...

The Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Changes in the economic and therapeutic environment have altered the time frame in which an accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) must be made. The advent of effective reperfusion therapies and the increasing emphasis on reducing cost produce an environment in which rapid diagnosis can reduce morbidity and mortality while simultaneously reducing overall cost by avoiding unnece...
