Heart failure post-myocardial infarction: a review of the issues.
In most patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction, the underlying cause is coronary heart disease. To reduce progression to heart failure in a patient with acute myocardial infarction, it is important to achieve the earliest possible reperfusion, whether by thrombolysis or primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Every patient with acute myocardial infarction s...
متن کاملMyocardial 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 کاملAldosterone blockade in post-acute myocardial infarction heart failure.
Development of heart failure (HF) or left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) significantly increases mortality post acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Aldosterone contributes to the development and progression of HF post AMI, and major guidelines now recommend aldosterone blockade in this setting. However, lack of practical experience with aldosterone blockade may make clinicians hesitant ...
متن کاملPredictors of Post-traumatic Growth in Patients With Myocardial Infarction
Background: Some people experience positive psychological changes in various aspects after a stressful event. These positive changes, known as Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), are often due to people’s need to adapt to the challenges ahead. Objective: This study aims to determine the predictors of PTG in patients with myocardial infarction. Methods: This is a descriptive-correlational study. Part...
متن کاملb-Blockers and Mortality After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients Without Heart Failure or Ventricular Dysfunction
Fro of of Sto Sw De Ma Pa Co Lo Ins Yo BACKGROUND For acute myocardial infarction (AMI) without heart failure (HF), it is unclear if b-blockers are associated with reduced mortality. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine the association between b-blocker use and mortality in patients with AMI without HF or left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). METHODS This cohort study used...
