Reperfusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

open access: possibleMayo Clinic Proceedings, 1990
During the past decade, the general acceptance of the primary role of thrombosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has led to intense interest in the potential efficacy of reperfusion therapy, particularly thrombolytic therapy, in AMI. Accumulating evidence indicates that systemic thrombolytic therapy administered early after the onset of symptoms ...

Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1985
A number of new techniques have been shown to be superior to creatine kinase and the 12-lead ECG for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Myoglobin and heart fatty acid-binding protein are more sensitive than creatine kinase for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction; myoglobin is also a superior marker for estimating infarct size ...

The Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Chest, 1992
Changes in the economic and therapeutic environment have altered the time frame in which an accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) must be made. The advent of effective reperfusion therapies and the increasing emphasis on reducing cost produce an environment in which rapid diagnosis can reduce morbidity and mortality while ...

Cocaine in Acute Myocardial Infarction

2010
Cocaine, a crystalline tropane alkaloid which is obtained from the leaves of the coca plant, acts a powerfully addictive stimulant that directly targets the central nervous system. The effects of the drug appear almost immediately after a single dose (intravenous, intranasal, or inhaled), and disappear within a few minutes or hours.

Triggering of acute myocardial infarction

Journal of Cardiovascular Risk, 1995
The mechanisms of acute coronary artery disease onset are receiving increasing attention. Study of these mechanisms has been stimulated by the finding that the onset of acute myocardial infarction is more likely during the morning hours after awakening, suggesting that activities of the patient often trigger the event.

RECURRENT ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AFTER AN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019
Patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of readmission within 90 days of discharge, often with another AMI. The readmission risk for AMI over time has not been previously described.

Hypertension and acute myocardial infarction

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2012
History of hypertension is a frequent finding in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its recurring association with female sex, diabetes, older age, less frequent smoking and more frequent vascular comorbidities composes a risk profile quite distinctive from the normotensive ischemic counterpart.Antecedent hypertension associates with ...

Frequency of Family History of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1997
The relation between family history of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the risk of AMI was analyzed using data of a case-control study conducted in Argentina between 1992 and 1994. Case patients were 1,060 subjects with AMI admitted to 35 coronary care units, and controls were 1,071 subjects admitted to the same network of hospitals where cases ...

Colchicine in Acute Myocardial Infarction

New England Journal of Medicine
Inflammation is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Data from recent trials suggest that colchicine reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.In this multicenter trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned patients who had myocardial infarction to receive either colchicine or placebo and either spironolactone or placebo.
