Myocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملAcute Inferior Myocardial Infarction with Right Ventricular Involvement resembling Acute
On admission the physical examination was normal with a blood pressure of 130/90 mmHg. The initial electrocardiogram (Figure 1A) showed sinus rhythm with convex-upwards ST segment elevation (transmural injury) decreasing from V1 to V3 and acute inferior myocardial infarction pattern with Q waves and ST segment elevation of transmural injury in leads III and aVF. The patient was medicated with a...
متن کاملMultidetector computed tomography in acute joint fractures.
Conventional radiography plays an essential diagnostic role in the primary evaluation of acute joint trauma. In complex fractures, however, computed tomography (CT) is an imaging modality often used second to radiography. As a result of technical breakthroughs in the field, multidetector CT (MDCT) allows faster imaging and better temporal, spatial, and contrast resolution compared with conventi...
متن کاملMultidetector computed tomography for acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND The accuracy of multidetector computed tomographic angiography (CTA) for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism has not been determined conclusively. METHODS The Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis II trial was a prospective, multicenter investigation of the accuracy of multidetector CTA alone and combined with venous-phase imaging (CTA-CTV) for the diagnos...
متن کاملDiagnosis of acute myocardial infarction on computed tomography angiogram.
A 68-year-old white man, an active smoker with hyperten-sion and hyperlipidemia, presented to the emergency department with substernal chest pain. His chest pain began acutely 2 hours earlier, was described as intense pressure radiating to the back, 10/10 in severity with associated diaphoresis, nausea, and vomiting. Chest pain persisted despite sublingual nitroglycerin and subsequent intraveno...
