Reperfusion strategies in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a comprehensive review of contemporary management options.
There are an estimated 500,000 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) events in the U.S. annually. Despite improvements in care, up to one-third of patients presenting with STEMI within 12 h of symptom onset still receive no reperfusion therapy acutely. Clinical studies indicate that speed of reperfusion after infarct onset may be more important than whether pharmacologic or mechani...
متن کاملNon-Q wave myocardial infarction management strategies.
In this issue, Heggunje and colleagues dissect out from the VANQWISH Trial patients with non-Q wave myocardial infarction who had a prior myocardial infarction and compare outcomes to those who did not have a prior myocardial infarction. They evaluated the trial primary end-point of death or myocardial infarction at 1 and 12 months as well as the initial randomized treatment strategy. The botto...
متن کاملCurrent Management Strategies for Non-st Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
The term “acute coronary syndrome” encompasses unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (UA/ NSTEMI) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). UA/NSTEMI is the combination of two closely related clinical entities (i.e., a syndrome), whereas STEMI is a distinct clinical entity. UA/NSTEMI is characterized by an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and...
متن کاملMucormycosis: its contemporary face and management strategies.
Several countries have seen rising frequencies of mucormycosis among patients with haematological disorders, malignancies, or diabetes mellitus, and among transplant recipients. Growing numbers of immunocompromised hosts, widespread use of antifungal agents inactive against mucormycosis, or other unidentified factors, could be contributing to this situation. The predominant clinical manifestati...
متن کاملIt's a matter of time: contemporary pre-hospital management of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
S ubstantial intellectual and financial resources have been invested in the quest to reduce outcomes in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) through improved pharmacological and mechanical reperfusion therapies. By contrast, little emphasis has been placed on enhancing the medical systems whereby these treatments are delivered, especially as it relates to pre-hospital reperf...
