RATIONALE Myocardial infarction due to nonatherosclerotic coronary thrombosis in young woman with ulcerative colitis is rare. PATIENT CONCERNS A 23-year-old Chinese woman with a 3-year history of ulcerative colitis was admitted to the coronary care unit due to prolonged chest pain. DIAGNOSES Myocardial infarction due to nonatherosclerotic coronary thrombosis was diagnosed in this young woma...

Late (more than six months) total occlusion after coronary stenting is a progressive phenomenon occurring in approximately 4% of patients, leading to acute myocardial infarction in less than 0.5%. The process must be related to severe and progressive intimal hyperplasia. In patients receiving coronary stenting with simultaneous brachytherapy, late total occlusion has been reported at a higher r...

Since indium-Ill platelet scintigraphy for the detection of left ventricular thrombosis often shows considerable non-specific blood pool activity a subtraction method using simultaneous technetium-99m blood pool scintigraphy was undertaken in 11 subjects with well documented remote myocardial infarction, who served as positive or negative controls, and in 18 consecutive patients with acute myoc...

triggering of acute myocardial infarction   m. salehian [1]     abstract     coronary heart disease (chd) is the leading cause of death in the united states each year about 450.000 people die from chd, and 1.000.000 experience an initial or recurrent coronary event. plaque rupture and it's its subsequent thrombosis at the site of the plaque rupture is the most common underlying pathophysio...

INTRODUCTION Heparin use is ubiquitous in medicine today. It is used therapeutically in the management of arterial and venous thrombotic processes, such as acute myocardial infarction or deep venous thrombosis, and prophylactically to prevent thrombosis around the time of orthopedic procedures and to prevent prosthetic heart valve thrombosis or stroke in atrial fibrillation. Heparin is bonded t...

Stress is known to correlate with the incidence of acute myocardial infarction. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this correlation are not known. This study was designed to assess the effect of experimental stress on arterial thrombus formation, the key event in acute myocardial infarction. Mice exposed to 20 h of restraint stress displayed an increased arterial prothrombotic potenti...

Thrombophilia can be defined as an increased risk of thrombosis. The central event to the pathogenesis of any thrombotic episode is the perturbation of haemostasis, the cause of which may be genetic or environmental. The clinical manifestations of the chronic development of coronary artery atheroma are angina and acute myocardial infarction. In recent years literature is emerging on the role of...

Aim: Both recurrent myocardial infarction (ReMI) and bleeding events after acute (AMI) were reportedly associated with increased mortality. To date, the prognostic impact of these on subsequent outcomes in East Asians is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate or thrombotic during phase mortality time-dependent change patients AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
