BACKGROUND Early hospital arrival and rapid intervention for acute myocardial infarction is essential for a successful outcome. Several studies have been unable to identify explanatory factors that slowed decision time. The present study examines whether personality, psychosocial factors, and coping strategies might explain differences in time delay from onset of symptoms of acute myocardial in...

The predictive value of the myocardial scintigraphy with 99mTc-pyrophosphate was studied in 100 patients admitted to the coronary care unit with suspected acute myocardial infarction. None of the 21 patients with normal scintigrams had acute myocardial infraction by other criteria. Fifty-five percent of patients with diffuse uptake (pattern B), 73% of patients with focal uptake (pattern C) and ...

Myocardial infarction sometimes appears misspelt as myocardial infraction in the cardiovascular research literature. With accurate citation of literature contributions important to advancing the field and its contributors, in this study we aimed to document the frequency and explore the causes and impact of this error specific to the cardiology literature. Literature databases (PubMed, Scopus, ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate any seasonal variation in enzymatic size, mortality rate, and localization of ST-segment elevation myocardial infraction (STEMI). METHODS Between March 2003 and September 2006, all patients admitted to the Madani Heart Center, Tabriz, Iran with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were included in this observational prospective study. Cases were divided ...

Muscular bridge (MB) is transient systolic coronary blockage occurring due to exposure of a portion of epicardial coronary arteries to compression during systole as a result of tunneling into the myocardium. Although rare, these patients may develop angina pectoris, severe arrhythmia and myocardial infraction (MI). A 30-year-old male patient presented to the emergency with severe pain with an o...

Objective: Acute coronary syndrome is a clinical condition encompassing ST segments elevation myocardial infraction, Non ST segment is elevation myocardial infraction and un stable angina is characterized by ruptured coronary plaque, stress and myocardial injury. Angina pectoris is a pressure like pain in the chest that is induced by exertion or stress and relived with in the minute after cessa...

Background. Global Pandemic of COVID-19 is a viral infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that primary target in respiratory system and spread rapidly around the world through droplets direct contact. On other side, affects to damage myocardial causing acute heart attacks including Unstable Angina (UAP), Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infraction (NSTEMI) o...

The goal of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity Myocardial Performance Index (MPI)for assessment acute right ventricular Infraction. This a descriptive type cross-sectional study. carried out in Coronary Care Unit, Department Cardiology, Sir Salimulla Medical College, Mitford Hospital. After exclusion total 72 patients were included study, which 24 had inferior MI with R...
