background :in addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (mi), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting mi. many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the st segment deviations in electrocardiogram (ecg).additional posterior and right precordi...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the efficacy of high-dose atorvastatin in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Previous randomized trials have demonstrated that statin pre-treatment reduced major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with stable angina pectoris and acute coronary...

Anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can be a life-threatening condition. Prompt recognition of the typical ECG findings and rapid transfer to a primary percutaneous coronary intervention centre are critical. Although the ECG appearances of anterior STEMI are quite characteristic, confusion sometimes arises with 3 other ECG morphologies. Can you identify the genuine anter...

The current clinical practice advocates dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for a year after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), primarily owing to persistent thrombotic risk. novel COBRA PzF coronary stent was developed reduce thrombosis primary goal of the research compare efficacy and safety nanocoated stenting with one-month DAPT (dual anti-platelet therapy) against 12-month dr...

Acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) is the most serious and life-threatening clinical manifestation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) which can be treated pharmacologically (with fibrinolytic therapy) or interventionally (with percutaneous coronary intervention – PCI). Today primary PCI is a golden therapeutic approach for patients with STEMI [1] and it provides Thrombo...

UNLABELLED Although recurrent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the same coronary artery due to acute stent thrombosis has been reported in the literature, there have been no reported cases discussing consecutive STEMI recurring in different coronary arteries in the same patient in one day. Herein, we report an elderly male patient initially suffering from STEMI over the inf...

Emergency physicians routinely risk stratify multiple patients simultaneously in the emergency setting. Identifying the critically ill or injured patient rapidly allows for appropriate therapy to be delivered in a timely fashion. For patients with possible acute coronary syndrome, the 12-lead electrocardiogram obtained within 10 minutes after arrival to the ED quickly identifies patients with S...

T he management of the patient who has experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) requires a detailed assessment of their risk of future events, their risk of adverse events from medications and, particularly with the near universal use of antithrombotic therapy, their bleeding risk. Fortunately, a large evidence base and detailed guidelines are available to help tailor post-coronary care man...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Aspiration thrombectomy (AT) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective adjunctive therapy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). An elevated neutrophil count in STEMI is associated with microvascular dysfunction and adverse outcomes. We evaluated whether AT can improve microvascular dysfunction in patients with STEMI and a...

background: increased estimated body iron stores have been recently suggested to be associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (ami); however the question of whether serum ferritin level as an indicator for estimating body iron is an independent risk factor for cardiac events is still questioned. in the present study, we assessed whether serum ferritin was associated with the...
