Normal pregnancy corresponds to a procoagulant state. Acute myocardial infarction during pregnancy is rare, yet considering the low non-pregnant risk score of childbearing women it is still surprisingly frequent. We report a case of postpartum recurrent non-ST elevation myocardial infarction in a 40-year-old caucasian woman with essential thrombocythaemia in the presence of a positive JAK-2 mut...

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is underdiagnosed globally, and in Malaysia. FH associated with elevated levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C), predisposes an individual to premature cardiovascular disease, including the life threatening clinical manifestations such as acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients admitted STEMI Malaysia are comparatively younger than thos...

IMPORTANCE Emergency treatment options in myocardial infarction are guided by presence or absence of ST-elevations in electrocardiography. Occurrence and factors associated with ST-presentation in different population groups are however inadequately known. OBJECTIVE To determine likelihood and patient features associated with ST-elevations in myocardial infarction. DESIGN Nationwide registr...

background: studies on the prognosis of st elevation myocardial infarction (stemi) versus non-st elevation myocardial infarction (non-stemi) have shown different results. the present study was designed to compare the early outcome and left ventricular systolic function of patients with st and non-st elevation myocardial infarction. methods: the patients' information was derived from 10,065 cons...

Background: Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death worldwide. Patients suffering from myocardial with a ST-elevated segment termed as STEMI experience high risk and these patients report recurrent attacks even more compared to other MI patients. Objective: The goal this study was check that either oncostatin M (OSM) can be used biomarker for evaluation Study design: This control-ex...

Background: The role of temperature changes, as an environmental risk factor, in the human health status has been investigated in recent studies. Accordingly, the present two-year study was conducted to evaluate the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in warm and cold seasons in Ali-ibn Abi Talib Hospital, Rafsanjan, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive and cross-sectional st...

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 ...

Without significant coronary artery stenosis, ischemic electrocardiographic change including ST segment elevation, segmental wall motion abnormality and elevated serum cardiac-specific markers (creatine kinase-MB, Troponin-T) may develop after central nervous system injuries such as subarachnoid, intracranial or subdural hemorrhage. Misdiagnosing these patients as acute myocardial infarction ma...

W ITH rare exceptions 1-4 the appearance in the electrocardiogram of Q waves in association with elevated ST segments represents the most reliable criteria of myocardial infaretion. It is the purpose of this paper to present a case in which there was dissociation between electrical and anatomic findings. In this case the electrocardiographic changes were "Cdiagnostic" of myocardial infarction, ...
