Acute myocardial infarction in the elderly [PDF]
The elderly are the fastest growing part of the population in Western countries and aged individuals constitute a rapidly increasing proportion of patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Advanced age is a strong predictor of adverse outcome.

COPD and acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
COPD is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, in particular acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Besides shared risk factors, COPD-related factors, such as systemic inflammation and hypoxia, underlie the pathophysiological interaction between COPD and AMI.

Acute Anemia and Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Various studies have established the prognosis of anemia in myocardial infarction (MI). Both chronic and acute anemia lead to poor outcomes in MI. Regardless, the association of anemia with MI and its management varies. In this study, the literature was analyzed to determine the association between acute anemia and MI based on the pathophysiology ...

Dramatic changes in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have occurred in the past decade. While previous management strategies were primarily supportive, current strategies focus on achieving and maintaining patency of the infarct-related artery restoring blood flow to jeopardized myocytes, preserving left ventricular function, and ...

Biomarkers in acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
Myocardial infarction causes significant mortality and morbidity. Timely diagnosis allows clinicians to risk stratify their patients and select appropriate treatment. Biomarkers have been used to assist with timely diagnosis, while an increasing number of novel markers have been identified to predict outcome following an acute myocardial infarction or ...

Acute Myocardial Infarction in Rats [PDF]
With heart failure leading the cause of death in the USA (Hunt), biomedical research is fundamental to advance medical treatments for cardiovascular diseases. Animal models that mimic human cardiac disease, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia-reperfusion (IR) that induces heart failure as well as pressure-overload (transverse aortic ...

MRI in acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
Although acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still one of the main causes of high morbidity in Western countries, the rate of mortality has decreased significantly. The main cause of this drop appears to be the decline of the incidence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) along with an absolute reduction in case fatality rate once ...

Oxygen therapy for acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
Oxygen (O2) is widely used in people with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous systematic reviews concluded that there was insufficient evidence to know whether oxygen reduced, increased or had no effect on heart ischaemia or infarct size. Our first Cochrane review in 2010 also concluded there was insufficient evidence to know whether oxygen ...
