The occurrence of post-infarction epilepsy was investigated in 68 patients with angiographically proven internal carotid artery occlusion and in 56 patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion. Epileptic seizures occurred during follow-up in 9% of the carotid artery group and in 21.4% of the middle cerebral artery group. The different incidence of seizures in the two groups was statistically ...

this is a retrospective study on the records of patients with infarction admitted to c.c.u wards of imam khomeini hospital, amir-alam hospital & shariati hospital, during 7 months (1995-94). in total patients of 209 with average age of 59.5 years, there were 133 men with average age of 57.1 and 76 women with average age of 63.7 years. in this study, women with mi are older than men. from 209 pa...

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) refers to ST-elevated and non ST elevation infarction, is the known presentation of coronary artery disease. Study was planned explore interplay adipokines, resistin / lipoprotein (a) prognosis in middle old age female patients with Non Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Material Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted on 150 acute (AMI). Consented were divide...

Coronary artery thrombosis, due either fissuring or erosion of atherosclerotic plaque, is the usual cause of acute myocardial infarction (1) and results in a progressive increase of the infarct size with a wavefront transmural extension from the endocardium towards the epicardium (2,3). Although thrombolysis and reperfusion can occur spontaneously, thrombotic coronary artery occlusion usually p...

Myocardial infarction occurring in young people with angiographically normal coronary arteries is well described but the pathophysiology of this condition remains unknown. Coronary artery spasm in association with thrombus formation and minimal atheromatous disease or spontaneous coronary artery dissection are possible causes. Two young men presented with severe chest pain after acute alcohol i...

It remains unclear whether or not the infarcted brain caused by aortic dissection should be reperfused when an emergency operation is needed for aortic arch dissection. A 64-year-old woman presented with severe back pain and syncope with a sudden left hemiplegia. CT scan demonstrated an aortic dissection of the entire aorta, obstruction of the right common carotid artery by extended aortic diss...

Exercise and redistribution myocardial scintigraphy using thallium-201 was compared with the left ventricular angiogram and with the presence of stenosis or occlusion of coronary arteries on angiography. Irreversible scintigraphic defects representing areas of myocardial infarction were found in all patients with occlusion of the left anterior descending artery but nearly one-third of patients ...

Myocardial infarction occurring in young people with angiographically normal coronary arteries is well described but the pathophysiology of this condition remains unknown. Coronary artery spasm in association with thrombus formation and minimal atheromatous disease or spontaneous coronary artery dissection are possible causes. Two young men presented with severe chest pain after acute alcohol i...

background :in addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (mi), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting mi. many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the st segment deviations in electrocardiogram (ecg).additional posterior and right precordi...
