background: early clinical investigations indicate that an infusion of autologous bone-marrow cells into the infarct-related coronary artery is feasible after acute myocardial infarction. there is increasing evidence that cell transplantation may improve the perfusion and contractile function of the ischemic myocardium . the present study reports primarily the safety of intracoronary bone marro...

background: coronary artery disease is known as the main cause of death in industrialized countries. relation between this disease and some infections such as helicobacter pylori (h.pylori) has been shown in several studies. the purpose of this study was to dermine the relationship between hypylori and mycardical infarctions. methods: seventy-three myocardial infarction patients and 78 individu...

to evaluate the prognostic significance of clinicopathological measurement in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (mi) in sheep, acute mi was induced by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (lad). for this purpose, twenty four healthy sheep were divided into the sham-operated or control group (group i, thoracotomy without mi) and the experimental group (group ii, with m...

background and aims: cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality among men and women so that the difference in acute myocardial infarction (ami) symptoms between men and women can affect diagnosis and time of decision making for treatment and consequently disease outcomes. therefore, knowledge of different symptoms affects the prognosis of the disease according to the gender. this s...

OBJECTIVE To see whether transient myocardial ischaemia on ambulatory monitoring after myocardial infarction is associated with ventricular arrhythmias. DESIGN A prospective study. SETTING The coronary care unit, general medical wards, and cardiorespiratory department of a major teaching hospital. PATIENTS 203 consecutive patients without specific exclusion criteria admitted with acute my...

In ischemic cardiomyopathy (CM) fibrosis replaces large segments of myocardium, but in idiopathic congestive CM the myocardium contains only small foci of fibrosis or is morphologically normal. As coronary disease and myocardial infarction may be clinically silent, it is not always possible to distinguish ischemic from idiopathic congestive CM during life without cardiac catheterization. To det...

myocardial ischemia (mi) resulting in infarction is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. acute ischaemia rapidly impairs myocardial contractile function. myocardial dysfunction persisting for several hours after transient non-lethal ischaemia, eventually resulting in full functional recovery is termed as myocardial stunning. hibernation is now thought to be the consequence o...
