Tombstoning ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Cardiology Reviews, 2009
Tombstoning ST elevation myocardial infarction can be described as a STEMI characterized by tombstoning ST-segment elevation. This myocardial infarction is associated with extensive myocardial damage, reduced left ventricle function, serious hospital complications and poor prognosis.

Transient ST-elevation myocardial infarction versus persistent ST-elevation myocardial infarction. An appraisal of patient characteristics and functional outcome [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology, 2021
Up to 24% of patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) show resolution of ST-elevation and symptoms before revascularization. The mechanisms of spontaneous reperfusion are unclear. Given the more favorable outcome of transient STEMI, it is important to obtain further insights in differential aspects.We compared 251 patients ...

Which diagnostic tests are most useful in a chest pain unit protocol? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background The chest pain unit (CPU) provides rapid diagnostic assessment for patients with acute, undifferentiated chest pain, using a combination of electrocardiographic (ECG) recording, biochemical markers and provocative cardiac testing.

Brugada ST elevation masquerading as ST elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yesBaylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2018
Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetic cardiac syndrome first described in 1992 that is characterized by distinct abnormalities noted in leads V1 and V2 on electrocardiogram. It often leads to syncope or even sudden death in affected patients due to its propensity for ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.

Symptomatic Presentation of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Heart Transplantation Patients

open access: yesJACC: Case Reports, 2021
Patients with acute myocardial infarction with a history of an orthotopic heart transplantation rarely present with classic anginal symptoms, secondary to cardiac denervation.

Evaluation by quantitative 99m-technetium MIBI SPECT and echocardiography of myocardial perfusion and wall motion abnormalities in patients with dobutamine-induced ST-segment elevation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
ST-segment elevation during exercise testing has been attributed to myocardial ischemia and wall motion abnormalities (WMA). However, the functional significance of ST-segment elevation during dobutamine stress testing (DST) has not been evaluated in ...

Trends in ST-elevation myocardial infarction

open access: yesCoronary Artery Disease, 2021
Aims Despite recent progress in coronary artery disease treatment, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a very high-risk medical condition. Whether recent patients’ outcomes, following implementation of the 2012 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) STEMI guidelines have improved, is yet unclear.

Temporal evolution of myocardial hemorrhage and edema in patients after acute st-segment elevation myocardial infarction:Pathophysiological insights and clinical implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background The time course and relationships of myocardial hemorrhage and edema in patients after acute ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are uncertain.

Thyrotoxicosis Mimicking ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

open access: yesCureus, 2017
Hyperthyroidism is well known to be associated with cardiac disease. Delay in making the diagnosis and occurrence of complications are common and are associated with a worse outcome. A 54-year-old male, non-smoker, with no past medical history and no significant family history presented to our hospital with severe left sided chest pain, "crushing" in ...
