Introduction: Reciprocal changes are ST depression ≥1 mm in electrocardiogram of the patients with acute myocardial infarction in the reciprocal leads. This question that these changes are merely secondary to ST elevation in infarction area or that they are truly subendocardial ischemia secondary to involvement of coronary artery that perfuse that area is not clearly defined. Methods and Materi...

Introduction: Heart diseases involve the first and most prevalent causes of morbidity as well as mortality in Iran, which can be affected by various factors. Hence, this study aimed to explore the comparison and relationships between social support and coping strategies in patients with myocardial infarction and in the control group in Rasht. Methods: In this descriptive study, the study healt...

  Background: The purpose of this study is detecting short-term survival of all hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction in Isfahan and Najaf Abad based on sex.   Methods: The data of all patients who were hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction between 1378 to 1387 in Isfahan and Najaf Abad were collected by trained nurses of the surveillance department in a research center...

Background: The postmortem diagnosis of early myocardial infarction is a perplexing affair in forensic pathology. The routine evaluations of autopsied hearts including macroscopic examination and study of H;E stained sections are often not contributory. Some other methods like electron microscopy need sophisticated equipments which are not available in all pathology laboratories. Methods: In a...

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the irreversible cell death caused by ischemia in parts of myocardium. Atrial and Brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) are known as strong markers of myocardial infarction. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of six weeks low intensity interval training on ANP and BNP genes expression in rats following myocardial infarction. Materials and m...
