acute myocardial infarction (mi) during pregnancy is rare and mi due to prinzmetal's angina is much rarer. we present a 35-year-old, obese, multigravida, and pre-eclamptic woman, who developed acute anterior wall mi at the 30th week of gestation. on coronary angiography, the second obtuse marginal branch was totally occluded and the right coronary artery (rca) was normal. three days later, she ...

although lightning is an uncommon phenomenon in nature; it can cause many destructive incidents. in the event of a lightning strike, multiple organs particularly the cardiovascular systems are at risk of injury. short-term mortality depends on its cardiac effects. in this paper, the authors report the development of myocardial infarction and pericardial effusion after lightning injury, a typica...

aluminum phosphide (alp) is a highly effective rodenticide which is used as a suicide poison. herein, a 24 year-old man who’d intentionally ingested about 1liter of alcohol and one tablet of alp is reported. acute myocardial infarction due to alp poisoning has been occurred secondary to aip poisoning. cardiovascular complications are poor prognostic factors in alp poisoning

background treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (ami) is time related, so delay in treatment could affect prognosis. recognizing pre-hospital or in-hospital delays in initiating treatment and reducing these factors is very efficacious in treatment of these patients. results 35.7% patients arrived during one hour of symptom onset, and 7.9% arrived after 24 hours. patients havin...

introduction: cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, is associated with progressive ventricular dysfunction and cardiovascular death. the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of endurance exercise training on morphological changes in rat heart tissue following experimental myocardial infarction. materials and methods: rats used in this experiment (8-10 weeks old, 235 ± 5 g b...

A small region on chromosome 9p21.3, discovered in parallel by three groups in the year 2007, is typical of the new understanding of the genetic basis of myocardial infarction (MI). The finding emerged from the application of novel high-throughput genome-wide approaches, the risk-associated allele is frequent, acts independently of traditional risk factors, and confers a modest yet highly repro...

Serum IgE and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. The levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. The immunological method used for the determinations was ELISA Patients with myocardial infarction showed an...
