Current ICD10 codes are insufficient to clearly distinguish acute myocardial infarction type: a descriptive study [PDF]
BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) type is an important distinction to be made in both clinical and health care research context, as it determines the treatment of the patient as well as affecting outcomes.

Smoking and involvement of right coronary artery in ischemic heart disease [PDF]
Introduction: Smoking is an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction. Smoking raise both heart rate and blood pressure, thus increasing myocardial oxygen demand, moreover it also decreases the dimension of ...
