BACKGROUND Remnant cholesterol has been defined as the cholesterol present in triglyceride-rich remnant lipoproteins. Elevated levels of remnant cholesterol have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in very young individuals (≤40 years) represents a rare disease with a typical risk factor profile and a lipid phenotype that is characterized by a p...

Diagnosis of myocardial infarction is very important in a patient with chest pain. Chest pain is not always present or it may be from other causes rather than myocardial infarction. Q wave is present in 30] of infarction. ST,T wave changes are present in all myocardial infarctions, but these changes also are present in myocardial ischernia.  For these reasons diagnosis of myocardial infarction...

Background Several studies indicate that endogenous hormones play a role in the etiology of coronary artery disease, either as independent risk factors or indirectly, via an effect on lipids, lipoproteins, or other heart disease risk factors. Methods and Results The relation between endogenous hormone levels and premature (<56-year-old patients) myocardial infarction was assessed in a retrospec...

Primary ventricular fibrillation was seen in 20 of 450 consecutive patients (4-4%) admitted within 24 hours after the onset of acute myocardial infarction. Compared with patients without primary ventricular fibrillation they showed a lower mean age group and a higher incidence of anterior infarction. Warning ventricular arrhythmias preceded primary ventricular fibrillation in 58% of cases. Howe...

background: primary percutaneous coronary intervention (primary pci) is the method of choice in establishing reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction (ami) patients. the aim of this study was to determine the success rate of primary pci in a university medical center in iran with a view to promoting it as a first-line therapy in patients with ami, especially in centers with established cathet...

OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors for premature myocardial infarction among young South Asians. DESIGN AND SETTING Case-control study in a hospital admitting unselected patients with non-fatal acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND SUBJECTS Risk factor assessment was done in 193 subjects aged 15-45 years with a first acute myocardial infarct, and in 193 age, sex, and neighbourhood m...

Design and setting: Case–control study in a hospital admitting unselected patients with non-fatal acute myocardial infarction. Methods and subjects: Risk factor assessment was done in 193 subjects aged 15–45 years with a first acute myocardial infarct, and in 193 age, sex, and neighbourhood ma...

left ventricular free wall rupture is responsible for up to 10% of in-hospital deaths following myocardial infarction. it is mainly associated with posterolateral myocardial infarction, and its antemortem diagnosis is rarely made. one of the medical complications of myocardial infarction is the rupture of the free wall, which occurs more frequently in the anterolateral wall in hypertensives, wo...
