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...

myocardial infarction (mi) is one of the most important health burdens worldwide. aspirin as an non- steroid anti—inflammatory drug, has been proven to be a protective factor to decrease the incidence, however its effect of mi size is still unknown. we designed this study to compare the biomarkers after mi in patients with and without aspirin intake. 378 patients were enrolled and the results s...

conclusions we showed that patients with metabolic syndrome have larger infarct size compared to control subjects. background infarct size is an important surrogate end point for early and late mortality after acute myocardial infarction. despite the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with atherosclerotic diseases, adequate data are still lacking regarding the extent of myocardia...

myocardial free wall rupture is a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction, and prognosis will depend on the prompt diagnosis by echocardiography, extension of infarct size, and prompt surgical treatment. free wall rupture concomitant with ventricular septal defect (vsd) may be more complicated for management. a case of a 69-year-old man with myocardial free wall rupture and vsd...

in the current study, effects of acute short term administration of fructose on cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction size following ischemia/reperfusion were investigated in isolated rat heart. the hearts were subjected to 30 min zero flow global ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion. in the control group, the hearts were perfused by normal drug free krebs-henseleit (k/h) solution t...

Introduction: Cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, is associated with progressive ventricular dysfunction and cardiovascular death. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of endurance exercise training on morphological changes in rat heart tissue following experimental myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: Rats used in this experiment (8-10 weeks old, 235 &p...

effects of doxycycline on cx43 distribution and cardiac arrhythmia susceptibility of rats after myocardial infarction abstract: this study aimed to observe the effects of doxycycline (dox) on gap junction remodeling after mi and the susceptibility of rats to cardiac arrhythmia. the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery of rats was ligated to establish a myocardial infarction animal ...

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...
