conclusions supervised in-hospital exercise training was associated with improvements in saecg-measured electrical activity post-mi. results cardiac rehabilitation led to significant improvements in qrs duration (p < 0.001), square root of amplitude in the last 40 ms (p < 0.001) and duration of terminal signal with low amplitude (p < 0.001). cardiac rehabilitation also resulted in amelioration ...

conclusion osem3d may provide better image quality and higher contrast than other methods for small animal imaging with the new myocardial imaging agent, [18f] fptp. results the location and size of myocardial infarction on pet images correlated closely with that observed with ttc staining. among the four reconstruction methods, osem3d provided the best assessment of infarct size (r2 = 0.994, p...

myocardial free wall rupture is a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction, and prognosis will depend on the prompt diagnosis by echocardiography, extension of infarct size, and prompt surgical treatment. free wall rupture concomitant with ventricular septal defect (vsd) may be more complicated for management. a case of a 69-year-old man with myocardial free wall rupture and vsd...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the chronic low back pain and coronary heart disease relationship, after adjusting for relevant confounders, including genetics. METHODS In a cross-sectional design, 2148 twins were recruited from the Murcia Twin Registry, Spain. The exposure was chronic LBP and the outcomes were myocardial infarction and other coronary heart diseases-lifetime and in the last 2 years-...

the effect of opium addiction on the appearance of different types of arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction (ami) has been assessed in few studies. this study is aimed to determine the effect of opium on post-mi arrhythmia and also to address the differences in the appearance of different types of arrhythmias after ami between opium addicted and non-addicted patients. in this comparativ...

background: we sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the different trade forms of streptokinase available in our country, namely heberkinasa (heberbiotec, havana, cuba) and streptase (aventis behring gmbh, marburg, germany). methods: we conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial to compare the two streptokinase formulations, i.e. heberkinasa (hbk) or streptase (stp), in patients...

introduction: nowadays, myocardial infarction is the second factor of the deaths after accidents and cancers in the world. the coronary artery diseases are stressful for patients. this research was performed to determine the influence of discharge planning on anxiety levels in acute myocardial infarction patients.   materials and methods: this quasi-experimental study was performed on 60 patien...

background: the association between methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism and coronary artery diseases risk has been both confirmed and refuted in a number of published studies. the aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms of mthfr (c677t, a1298c) contributed to the development of myocardial infarction (mi). materials and methods: the present case-control s...
