Inferior ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Associated with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2010
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is usually characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning. Due to the clinical symptoms which include chest pain, electrocardiographic changes, and elevated myocardial markers, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is ...

Optimising coronary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction: the role of primary angioplasty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
PhDThrombolysis remains the predominant reperfusion strategy for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the United Kingdom. Although primary angioplasty may offer superior outcomes, the logistics of delivering this therapy in the UK ...

Neuropeptide‐Y levels in ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction: relationship with coronary microvascular function, heart failure, and mortality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Background The sympathetic cotransmitter, neuropeptide Y (NPY), is released into the coronary sinus during ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction and can constrict the coronary microvasculature.

Sex Disparities in Diagnostic Evaluation and Revascularization in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction—A 15‐Year Nationwide Study

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Although sex disparities in the diagnostic evaluation and revascularization of patients with acute myocardial infarction are well documented, no study has evaluated longitudinal trends in these disparities.

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most acute manifestation of coronary artery disease and is associated with great morbidity and mortality. A complete thrombotic occlusion developing from an atherosclerotic plaque in an epicardial coronary vessel is the cause of STEMI in the majority of cases.

The diagnostic utility of creatine kinase-MB versus total creatine phosphokinase ratio in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction from unstable angina

open access: yesSAGE Open Medicine, 2023
Objective: The present study seeks to find a way to quickly and correctly differentiate myocardial infarction from unstable angina by measuring the creatine kinase-MB/creatine phosphokinase ratio and comparing in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction ...

ST elevation without myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2014
Acute myocarditis may mimic myocardial infarction because the affected patients report ‘classical’ chest pain; the ECG changes and echocardiography are identical to those observed in acute coronary syndromes, and serum markers are increased. We describe a case with ST segment elevation on admission ECG, and coronary angiography was normal.

Intravenous sodium nitrite in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a randomized controlled trial (NIAMI) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
AimDespite prompt revascularization of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), substantial myocardial injury may occur, in part a consequence of ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI). There has been considerable interest in therapies that may reduce IRI.

Bivalirudin during primary PCI in acute myocardial infarction. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: Treatment with the direct thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin, as compared with heparin plus glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, results in similar suppression of ischemia while reducing hemorrhagic complications in patients with stable angina and ...

Significance of reciprocal ST segment depression in ST elevation myocardial infarction

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2017
Background: The significance of reciprocal ST segment depression during acute myocardial infarction has been an area of debate, whether it is a sign of multivessel disease, ischemia at a distance or merely a benign electrical phenomenon.
