Relationship between the location of the most severe myocardial perfusion defects, the most severe coronary artery stenosis and the site of subsequent myocardial infarction [Persian]
This study evaluated the relationship between the location of the most severe coronary artery stenosis and the subsequent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Of 1590 patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of AMI, we identified 44 patients who had undergone previous myocardial perfusion SPECT. Thirty-one of these patients also had previous coronary angiography. The relationshi...
متن کاملIntegrin Beta-3 Gene Polymorphism and Risk for Myocardial Infarction in Premature Coronary Disease
Background: Contradictory results have been obtained regarding the role of integrin, beta 3 (ITGB3) gene polymorphisms in occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI). Objectives: We aimed to assess the association between 1565C/T polymorphism of ITGB3 gene and increased risk for acute MI in patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). <strong...
متن کاملDistinct heritable patterns of angiographic coronary artery disease in families with myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) are significantly determined by genetic background. Whether distinct angiographic features of CAD are affected by inherited factors has never been investigated. Thus, we analyzed comprehensively the extent to which various aspects of CAD, including disease severity, distribution of lesions, presence of coronary calcificatio...
متن کاملRelationship between Late Gadolinium Enhancement Extent in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Old Myocardial Infarction
Purpose: To assess the relationship between the severity of coronary arteries involvement and the extent and pattern of myocardial scars in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance of patients with history of remote myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: The Cardiac Magnetic Resonance images of sixty patients with history of remote ST segment or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction were ...
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...
