conclusions in patients without clear signs of myocardial infarction, even mild co poisoning was associated with quantifiable circulating levels of hs-ctnt when tnt was measured using a highly sensitive assay in the current study patients. plasma levels of the hs-tnt and ck-mb assays were not correlated with the cohb levels in the current study patients. results the mean age of the patients was...

aluminum phosphide (alp) is a highly effective rodenticide which is used as a suicide poison. herein, a 24 year-old man who’d intentionally ingested about 1liter of alcohol and one tablet of alp is reported. acute myocardial infarction due to alp poisoning has been occurred secondary to aip poisoning. cardiovascular complications are poor prognostic factors in alp poisoning

OBJECTIVE Recommended timing of coronary revascularization after transmural acute myocardial infarction ranges from immediate surgical intervention to repair 4 weeks after infarction. Such wide variation has created a dilemma in the management of these patients. The objective of this study was to delineate the optimal timing of revascularization after transmural acute myocardial infarction in a...

We prospectively assessed the association of systolic blood pressure (SBP) after exercise with the risk of an acute myocardial infarction. Limited information exists currently on the role of SBP during recovery period with the risk of acute myocardial infarction. SBP was measured every 2 minutes during and after a progressive cycle ergometer exercise test in a representative sample of 2336 men ...
