Paclitaxel-eluting stents versus bare-metal stents in acute myocardial infarction. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There is no consensus regarding the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents, as compared with bare-metal stents, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who are undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Significance of ST‐Segment elevation in V4R lead in patients with anterior myocardial infarction
Background There is some evidence of the association between ST‐segment elevation in the V4R chest lead and the likelihood of anterior wall myocardial infarction; however, the link of this phenomenon with the location and the severity of the coronary ...

Electrocardiographic Recognition of Unprotected Left Main ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
ST-segment elevation in aVR has traditionally been used for electrocardiographic identification of left main coronary artery (LM) myocardial infarction. We present two ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases with acute total occlusion of

Altered gene expression pattern in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with acute myocardial infarction. [PDF]
In the acute phase of STEMI, dozens of genes from several pathways linked with lipid/glucose metabolism, platelet function and atherosclerotic plaque stability show altered expression.
