Serum IgE and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. The levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. The immunological method used for the determinations was ELISA Patients with myocardial infarction showed an...

Objective(s): Exercise training is a well-known accelerator for the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). The current study aimed to investigate the restorative effects of aerobic interval training (AIT) intervention on myocardial energy metabolism in CHF rats. Materials and Methods: Post-myocardial infarction (MI) heart failure animal model was established. The Sprague-Dawley rats were ran...

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: we aimed to assess whether the vasodilator effect of oral dipyridamole on the left ventricular systolic function in patients with suspected cad is different from that of intravenous (iv) dipyridamole using tc-99m mibi myocardial perfusion gated spect. methods: eighty-nine patients (17 m / 72 w; 61 ± 10 years) were enrolled in this study. the patients underwent a dipyridamole stres...

55 patients, who admitted during three month to ccu ward of one academic hospital, participated in this study. 80% of these patients had delay to report of their chest pain and 4% of them had complete failure to report it. reasons for didn’t report of pain and its signs were unawareness of nurse and physician about problem that is occurring and unawareness of patient about need to saying this p...

to determine the presence of anticardiolipin (acl) antibodies in patients with ischemic events, we designed a case-control study. we studied 33 patients with unstable angina, 33 male patients with myocardial infarction and 34 control subjects with no evidence of ischemic heart disease. plasma samples were assessed for igg anticardiolipin antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). ...

background: accidents are the second reason for mortality and morbidity in iran. among them, brain injuries are the most important damage. clarification of the effects of brain injuries on different body systems will help physicians to prioritize their treatment strategies. in this study, the effect of pure brain trauma on the cardiovascular system and lungs 24 hours post trauma was assessed. m...

background and aims: according to different reports about the demographic characteristics of patients with acute myocardial infarction in iran, this study performed to determine the average age of morbidity and mortality from ami and its changes over time. methods: a hospital-based retrospective cohort study (historical) including all patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to hospit...

background: acute myocardial infarction (ami) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. considering immense socioeconomic damages of growing ami in developing countries we estimated prognostic value of major risk factors of ami to predict probable in-hospital ami mortality. methods: in a cohort survey from june 2004 to march 2006, 1798 patients hospitalized with proven ami en...
