Objective: The aim of the study to determine frequency cardiogenic shock and its associated factors in patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Observational Descriptive study. Setting: Department Cardiology, National Institute Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), Karachi. Period: January July 2017. Material & Methods: A total 241 acute MI presented...

Different noninvasive approaches have been developed for risk stratification of patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure with aim to select patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death who might mostly benefit from preventive therapy. Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) was a strong predictor of mortality in myocardial infarction and heart failure in early studies. However, in th...

Background: The present review aims to examine the way an exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program affects cardio metabolic risk profile at patients after Myocardial Infarction. Methods: PubMed/Medline and Scopus/Elsevier electronic databases were searched for studies with no publication date limitation. A search strategy was developed based on intersection of 2 themes: logical profile. Re...

Background: It is assumed giving oxygen to patients with acute myocardial infraction may increase the oxygenation of the ischemic tissue; however, the usefulness of oxygen in these patients has become a challenging topic. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the effect of oxygen inhalation on cardiac biomarkers in patients with acute myocardial infarction.    Methods: This randomized cli...

From July 1975 to December 1977, 91 consecutive patients with left main coronary artery disease defined by cardiac catheterisation as greater than or equal to 50 per cent luminal narrowing underwent coronary bypass surgery. Prospective examination of the preoperative and postoperative clinical course of these patients was performed to determine the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarcti...

myocardial infarction (mi) is one of the most important health burdens worldwide. aspirin as an non- steroid anti—inflammatory drug, has been proven to be a protective factor to decrease the incidence, however its effect of mi size is still unknown. we designed this study to compare the biomarkers after mi in patients with and without aspirin intake. 378 patients were enrolled and the results s...
