Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in the Setting of Tension Pneumothorax

Case Reports in Critical Care, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Background. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is defined as a transient left ventricular dysfunction, usually accompanied by electrocardiographic changes. The literature documents only two other cases of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the latter setting. Methods.

The Wide and Unpredictable Scope of Synthetic Cannabinoids Toxicity

Case Reports in Critical Care, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Drug use and abuse continue to be a large public health concern worldwide. Over the past decade, novel or atypical drugs have emerged and become increasingly popular. In the recent past, compounds similar to tetrahydrocannabinoid (THC), the active ingredient of marijuana, have been synthetically produced and offered commercially as legal substances ...

A Sign to Heaven: aVR Lead Elevation and Myocardial Infarction

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 662-665, 2011., 2011
Isolated ST‐segment elevation only in the aVR lead, reflecting an acute myocardial infarction due to a left main coronary artery occlusion, was ignored as part of physicians′ training in emergency medicine for a long time. The recognition of aVR lead elevation is becoming more accepted as a mandatory diagnostic tool, in particular for physicians ...

Coincidence of Moderately Elevated N‐Terminal Pro–B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide, Endothelial Progenitor Cells Deficiency and Propensity to Exercise‐Induced Myocardial Ischemia in Stable Angina

Disease Markers, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 101-114, 2010., 2010
Aim: To assess endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) counts, a novel prognostic marker, in relation to classical adverse outcome predictors–N‐terminal pro–B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP), impaired left ventricular (LV) relaxation and exercise‐induced ischemia–in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) with preserved LV systolic function.

Systemic Inflammation and Reperfusion Injury in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2005, Issue 6, Page 385-389, 2005., 2005
Despite early recanalization of an occluded infarct artery, tissue reperfusion remains impaired in more than one‐third of the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients owing to a process of reperfusion injury. The role of systemic inflammation in triggering this phenomenon is unknown.

Significant association between admission serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and early changes in myocardial function in patients with first ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019
Background Recent studies have indicated that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays an important role in the initiation and progression of ischaemic heart disease.

Association between isolated minor ST-segment and T wave changes with 10 years all-cause and stroke mortality

Scientific Reports
Minor ST segment and T wave (ST-T) abnormalities are commonly seen on the resting electrocardiograms (ECGs) of healthy individuals, but the long-term effects of these findings, particularly in the general population, have not been thoroughly assessed. As

Effectiveness of Stellate Ganglion Block on Chest Pain Severity and ST-Segment Changes in Patients with Refractory Angina: An Interventional Study

Archives of Anesthesia and Critical Care
Background: Refractory angina remains a major therapeutic challenge when revascularization options are unavailable. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) may reduce sympathetic tone, improve coronary perfusion, and alleviate ischemic chest pain.
