Tenecteplase: Innovative Fibrinolysis for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
The use of fibrinolytic agents in the early treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is known to significantly reduce mortality. Accelerated (“frontloaded”) alteplase is being challenged as the standard of care for pharmacological reperfusion. Alteplase, reteplase, and streptokinase have several limitations. The search for newer agents has focused on developing a fibrinol...
متن کاملAnticoagulation for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Adjunctive anticoagulant therapy reduces the risk of recurrent infarction and death in patients with STsegment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving fibrinolytic therapy.1–5 Unfractionated heparin (UFH), the first anticoagulant evaluated for this indication,1 continues to be used because of its predominantly nonrenal clearance, short half-life, reversibility, and the familiarity of ...
متن کاملFalse Positive ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious disease in clinical practice. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of this critical illness can lead to prompt reperfusion, and it enables the reduction of cardiac ischemic damage and results in improved subsequent outcomes. The shorter the time to reperfusion, the greater the benefits. The American College of Cardiology/American...
متن کاملST-Segment Elevation in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Four hundred and four patients who were admitted to the hospital with their first myocardial infarction within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms were studied. In 315 patients the ECG findings in 12 standards leads (I, II, aVF, aVR, aVL, V,-V6) showed the infarction to be in the anterior wall, the inferior wall, or in multiple areas. The patients in each of these three categories were further su...
متن کاملRisk Factors of Reperfusion Failure following Primary Angioplasty for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
BACKGROUND Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves outcomes compared to thrombolysis, a substantial number of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients do not achieve optimal myocardial reperfusion. This study was designed to evaluate factors related to suboptimal myocardial reperfusion after primary PCI in patients with STEMI. METHODS Totally, 155 patients (124 m...
