Objectives. We sought to determine the incidence and independent prognostic value of increased serum levels of sensitive serologic markers in patients in whom a conventionally diagnosed acute myocardial infarction had been ruled out. Background. Increased serum levels of creatine kinase (CK) isoenzyme MB mass and cardiac troponin T in patients with unstable angina pectoris are associated with a...

purpose: to assess the relationship between the severity of coronary arteries involvement and the extent and pattern of myocardial scars in cardiac magnetic resonance of patients with history of remote myocardial infarction. materials and methods: the cardiac magnetic resonance images of sixty patients with history of remote st segment or non-st segment elevation myocardial infarction were revi...

Introduction: Acute Myocardial Infarction with ST-Segment Elevation (STEMI) is one of the major causes morbidity and mortality all over world. Pulmonary hypertension (LH) occurs in various clinical conditions, including diseases left half heart.
 Objective: To evaluate structural functional features heart ST-elevated myocardial infarction ventricular wall (LV) presence pulmonary (PH).&#x0D...

Objectives: To determine the frequency of left ventricular thrombus in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, relation of left ventricular thrombus to degree of left ventricular-dysfunction, and effects of adjuvant therapy on left ventricular thrombus formation. Material & Methods: It was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted at Cardiology Department, Hayatabad Medical Comple...

The hypothesis that anterior ST segment depression represents concomitant posterior infarction was tested in 49 patients admitted with a first transmural inferior myocardial infarction. Anterior ST depression was defined as 0.1 mV or more ST depression in leads V1, V2 or V3 on an electrocardiogram recorded within 18 hours of infarction. Serial vectorcardiograms and technetium pyrophosphate scan...

AIMS The optimum definition of ST elevation for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, with respect to both the minimum height and the minimum numbers of leads, is unknown. Furthermore, only 50% of patients with acute myocardial infarction present with ST elevation. We thus quantified the sensitivity and specificity of different ST elevation criteria for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarct...

Background: To study the comparative outcome between resolved an unresolved ST segment in Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), after thrombolytic therapy. Method: A was carried out on patients admitted with 1st episode of elevated myocardial infarction MICU a tertiary health care center teaching hospital. On admission detailed history taken and complete clinical examination do...
