متن کاملPrehospital activation of cardiac catheterization teams in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Current clinical guidelines for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) suggest prehospital activation of the cardiac catheterization team. In previous protocols in our center activation occurred once patients arrived at the hospital. In January 2011, we initiated a new primary angioplasty activation protocol from prehospital locations. Our objective was t...

متن کاملCardiac compression causing fatal acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
A 71-year-old woman presented 2 weeks after thoracic endovascular repair of a mycotic descending aortic aneurysm. One week after discharge she presented with chest pain and transient lateral STsegment elevation on electrocardiogram (Figure 1a). Urgent computerized tomography (CT) scanning (Figure 1B) demonstrated no evidence of endovascular leak or aortic dissection. Her symptoms recurred with ...
