background : myocardial infarction in young age is increasing. identifying risk factors could be important for health promotion. we studied classic atherosclerotic risk factors in premature myocardial infarction. methods : in this matched case-control study, which was conducted from 2005 to 2007 in birjand county, the east of iran, atherosclerotic risk factors ( hypertension , family history of...

tissue level myocardial perfusion is one of the most important prognostic factors after successful recanalisation of the occluded coronary artery in patients suffering acute st elevation myocardial infarction (stemi). the primary objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between videodensitometric myocardial perfusion parameters as assessed on coronary angiograms directly f...

background: myocardial infarction (mi) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in iran. no spatial analysis of mi has been conducted to date. the present study was conducted to determine the pattern of mi incidence and to identify the associated factors in iran by province. materials and methods: th is study has two parts. one part is prospective and hospital-based, and the other part is ...

conclusion: although timi grade 3 flows trended to be higher in the patients who received early tirofiban in the emergency ward, the difference did not constitute statistical significance and possible benefits, therefore, require further clarification. results: the study population had a mean age of 57.17 ± 10.09 years and included 79.3 % males. timi grade 3 flow was seen in 15 (21.4 %) patient...

background: marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have been heralded as a source of great promise for the regeneration of the infarcted heart. there are no clear data as to whether or not in vitro differentiation of mscs into major myocardial cells can increase the beneficial effects of mscs. the aim of this study was to address this issue. methods: to induce mscs to transdifferentiate i...

background : we report experimental myocardial infarction by occluding coronary arteries in ovine models. methods: twelve ewes were included in the study. after the chest was opened by left lateral thoracotomy incision, the second diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated at a point approximately 40% distant from its base. prophylactic antiarrhythmics were admi...

this is a field study to determine the learning needs of hospitalized myocardial infarction (m!) patients, about activity, exercise, diet, medications, follow-up and recurrence predisposing factors, and their relation with demographic data in these patients, when they were discharged from cardiac unit. the study population comprised 92 randomly selected mi patients (77 men,26 women) on discharg...
