To evaluate the prognostic significance of clinicopathological measurement in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in sheep, acute MI was induced by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). For this purpose, twenty four healthy sheep were divided into the sham-operated or control group (group I, thoracotomy without MI) and the experimental group (group II, with M...

Background: Ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction is one of the most dramatic manifestations in one of the most investigated fields in the past few decades. In this study, the prognostic value of white blood cells count in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) was investigated in a six months follow-up. Methods: In this cohort study, 106 patients with MI were investigated. ...

Myocardial ischemia (MI) resulting in infarction is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Acute ischaemia rapidly impairs myocardial contractile function. Myocardial dysfunction persisting for several hours after transient non-lethal ischaemia, eventually resulting in full functional recovery is termed as myocardial stunning. Hibernation is now thought to be...

Background: Despite some evidences about protective or triggering role of opium use in patients with coronary artery disease, the exact role of opium is still under question. The current study aimed to address the relation of opium dependence on the severity and extension of myocardial infarction (MI) and its related mortality. Methods: The study population consisted of 460 consecutive patients...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Stroke is more common in patients with cerebral microembolisms. Frequency of cerebral microembolisms (high intensity transient signals, HITS) in acute myocardial infarction has been reported about 17%. The factors that influence on microembolism after myocardial infarction (MI) are not definitive. Type of MI, Ejection fraction, Hx of Streptokinase is the factors that were...

there are a variety of electrocardiogram (ecg) based methods to detect myocardial infarction (mi) patients. this study used the signal averaged electrocardiogram (saecg) and its wavelet coefficient as an index to detect mi. orthogonal leads signals from 50 acute myocardial infarction (ami) and 50 healthy subjects were selected from the national metrology institute of germany (ptb diagnostic dat...

introduction : coronary artery disease is one of the most dangerous health problems in developed and undeveloped countries. annually one million patients admitted in coronary care units in u.s.a due to ami and about 59 million people suffered from atherosclerosis. in europe 54% of c.c.u admissions is due to non q wave mi and 46% due to q wave mi. unfortunately there is no distinct statistic al ...
