Clinical manifestations of right ventricle involvement in inferior myocardial infarction
Abstract Background: Early diagnosis of right ventricle (RV) involvement in inferior myocardial infarction (Inf MI) is very critical. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical findings of Inf MI with or without RV infarction. Methods: From September 2010 to September 2012, 195 patients with definite diagnosis of Inf MI were evaluated in the Department of Cardiology, in Babol, north of...
متن کاملReperfusion therapy of acute myocardial infarction.
I N 1979, DUCKERT reviewed the completed trials of intravenous (IV) thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction (MI) for this journal.’ Duckert stated in his review, “It is fair to conclude that today the value of thrombolytic treatment of acute MI has not been established.” Since this review, dramatic advances have been made in the understanding of pathogenesis of MI, knowledge of thro...
متن کاملComplete atrioventricular block complicating inferior wall acute myocardial infarction treated with reperfusion therapy. TAMI Study Group.
Previous studies report larger myocardial infarcts and increased in-hospital mortality rates in patients with inferior wall acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and complete atrioventricular block (AV), but the clinical implications of these complications in patients treated with reperfusion therapy have not been addressed. The clinical course of 373 patients--50 (13%) of whom developed complete A...
متن کاملReperfusion Therapy for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Reperfusion therapy represents an important step forward in the management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Few medicinal treatments have been evaluated so well. In numerous randomized controlled trials, reperfusion therapy proved to reduce infarct size and improve early and long-term clinical outcome when compared with control treatment. The cornerstones of ...
متن کاملReperfusion Strategies for Acute Myocardial Infarction: Mechanical vs. Thrombolytic Therapy
Management of patients with acute myocardial infarction represents a great challenge to emergency physicians, a task more recently complicated by the myriad of potential treatment options available. The goal of reperfusion therapy in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the safest, earliest and most complete restoration of normal (TIMI-3) flow in the infarct relat...
