BACKGROUND Incompleted ST segment resolution (STR) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with worse clinical outcomes. AIM To investigate the association between plasma N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels on admission and STR after reperfusion, in a patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary PCI. ...

OBJECTIVES We sought to elucidate the clinical factors related to the development of no-reflow phenomenon after successful coronary reperfusion in patients with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Myocardial contrast echocardiography revealed that the no-reflow phenomenon is observed in some patients with a reperfused AMI, and those patients usually have poor functional and clini...

BACKGROUND The no-reflow phenomenon is an uncommon and critical occurrence which myocardial reperfusion does not restore to its optimal level. Several predisposing factors of the no-reflow phenomenon have been identified. However, at present we know little about clinical predictors of no-reflow after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluated clinical pre...

Coronary no-reflow is defined as inadequate myocardial perfusion of a given coronary segment without angiographic evidence of mechanical vessel obstruction. No-reflow is visualized angiographically as a reduction in thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade and is typically accompanied by chest pain, electrocardiographic changes with ST-segment shift and possible hemodynamic compr...

OBJECTIVE To identify in humans the temporal patterns of no reflow and their functional implications. METHODS 24 patients with first acute myocardial infarction and successful coronary recanalisation by recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (n = 15) or primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (n = 9) were studied by myocardial contrast echocardiography within 24 hours of...

Objective The aim of the present study was to investigate the predictive value of neutrophil count for no-reflow in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent successful primary percutaneous intervention (PCI). Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 361 patients diagnosed with acute STEMI between 2011 and 2015. All patients underwent successful PCI w...

BACKGROUND The no-reflow phenomenon is associated with poor functional and clinical outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the era of primary intervention, accurately identifying lesions at high risk of no reflow is of crucial importance. At present, no study into the relationship between lesion morphology and no reflow has been performed. The aim of this study was to ...

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, primer perkütan koroner girişim (PKG) ile tedavi edilen akut ST-segment yükselmeli miyokard infarktüsü (STYMİ) hastalarında başvuru sırasında ölçülen platelet/lenfosit oranının (PLO) no-reflow fenomeni oluşumu arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.
 Gereç ve Yöntem: çalışmada, PKG STYMİ'li 126 hasta kapsanmıştırr. Hastaların hastaneye anındaki hemoglobin, trombos...
