Pulmonary edema after anteroseptal acute myocardial infarction.
To evaluate the clinical characteristics of patients with anteroseptal myocardial infarction (MI) initially presenting with pulmonary edema, we analyzed 58 patients with anteroseptal MI who underwent emergency coronary arteriography that revealed single-vessel disease of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Of the 58 patients, pulmonary edema was observed in 24 patients (group A) and w...
متن کامل[Changes in myocardial function and perfusion after acute myocardial infarction].
Rev Esp Cardiol 2003;56(5):433-5 433 Ligation of a coronary artery causes myocardial necrosis. It has been shown in experimental animals1 that the size of the necrotic scar is directly proportional to the time elapsed between ligation and reperfusion. Early reperfusion not only reduces the size of the infarct, but also protects against ventricular dilatation. Although delayed reperfusion is una...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
متن کاملEmotional Triggers of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death around the world. Identification of triggers that lead to acute coronary events in ischemic heart diseases and their prevention can reduce the complications of myocardial infarction. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine emotional triggers in patients with acute Myocardial Infarction (MI). Materials and Metho...
متن کاملPeritoneal dialysis for pulmonary oedema after acute myocardial infarction.
Four patients with intractable pulmonary oedema after acute myocardial infarction were treated with peritoneal dialysis. A negative fluid balance was rapidly achieved in three patients, two of whom ultimately survived. The fourth patient, who had complete heart block at the beginning of dialysis, showed initial clinical improvement with restoration of sinus rhythm despite failure to extract fluid.
