Tenecteplase versus reteplase in acute myocardial infarction: A network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death throughout the world. One of the standard approaches to treatment of AMI is fibrinolysis. The study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tenecteplase versus reteplase through network meta-analysis for AMI. Methods: Randomized trials were comprehensively searched in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane library, a...

Stent trials in acute myocardial infarction.

myocardial infarction has been demonstrated to reduce in-hospital major adverse events. PTCA has been shown to result in lower rates of mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction and stroke than t h r o m b o l y s i s . – 3 Furthermore, this result was also demonstrated in the GUSTO IIB trial, the largest randomized comparison between PTCA and thrombolysis. However, recurrent ischemia, early r...

Rapid 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...
