acute myocardial infarction can culminate in sudden cardiac death due to cardiogenic shock and ventricular fibrillation, and also rarely due to cardiac rupture. we present a case of post-infarction myocardial rupture after thrombolytic therapy diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiography and treated with direct closure and coronary artery bypass grafting.

background : kernel smoothing method is a non-parametric or graphical method for statistical estimation. in the present study was used a kernel smoothing method for finding the death hazard rates of patients with acute myocardial infarction. methods : by employing non-parametric regression methods, the curve estimation, may have some complexity.  in this article, four indices of epanechnikov, b...

INTRODUCTION Takotsubo cardiomyopathy also known as transient left ventricular apical ballooning, stress-induced cardiomyopathy can present with retrosternal chest pain with EKG changes that can mimic a myocardial infraction. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 68 female with sudden onset retrosternal squeezing chest pain with positive cardiac enzymes and EKG changes suggestive of acute ST-elevati...

Introduction: Ventricular remodeling is the process by which ventricular size, shape and function are regulated by mechanical, neurohormonal and genetic factors.1 Remodeling may be physiological and adaptive during normal growth or pathological due to acute myocardial infraction (AMI), cardiomyopathy, hypertension or valvular heat disease. This article will re view left ventricular (LV) remodel...

background: recent studies have suggested that chronic infections with chlamydia pneumoniae (cpn) and helicobacter pylori (hp) may be associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (mi). methods: a cross sectional study was conducted on 140 citizens. seroprevalence was assessed by elisa tests measuring iga and igg antibodies to cpn and hp in sera. results: among patients, %11.4 and %90.0 wer...

The application of temporary electro-stimulation is necessary in acute myocardial infarction complicated by the appearance of symptomatic bradycardia, AV conduction disturbances and asystolia. During the last two years, 38 of 892 patients (4.2%) with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infraction with ST segment elevation, required temporary electro-stimulation (27 with inferior infractions and 1...
