Baicalein, a flavonoid purified from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. The present study aimed to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of baicalein in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction and investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of this effect. The acute myocardial infarction model was prepared by p...

Myocardial infarction occurring in young people with angiographically normal coronary arteries is well described but the pathophysiology of this condition remains unknown. Coronary artery spasm in association with thrombus formation and minimal atheromatous disease or spontaneous coronary artery dissection are possible causes. Two young men presented with severe chest pain after acute alcohol i...

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 relationship betw...

a double left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery emerging from the left and right coronary arteries is classified among rare coronary anomalies. we herein report a 73-year-old man presenting with acute coronary syndrome (posterolateral myocardial infarction). he was admitted with typical chest pain, and due to his progressive ischemic changes on electrocardiography (ecg) and elevated car...

background: cardiovascular disease (cvd) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. acute myocardial infarction (ami) represents the most dramatic presentation of cvd and is one of the most commonly seen acute medical emergencies. according to iran’s ministry of health, 966,779 people (46%) died of cvd and 575, 257 (27%) potential years of life were lost to cvd in 2000. we, ther...

introduction: several studies have evaluated the association of admission blood glucose levels and short and long term mortality after myocardial infarction and have had different results. the aim of this study was evaluation of association between admission blood glucose levels and in-hospital and one year mortality in non-diabetic patients with ami. methods: in this study, demographic, clinic...
