Precordial and intracardiac phonocardiographic correlation was investigated in 28 cases with ventricular septal defect (VSD) to confirm the diagnostic value of intracardiac phonocardiography and to clarify the clinical as well as physiological significance of the point of maximum intensity (PMI) of the regurgitant systolic murmur of VSD. At the same time, the teleological use of catheterization...

INTRODUCTION Isolated posterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) accounts for up to 7% of STEMIs. The diagnosis is suggested by indirect anterior-lead ECG changes. Confirmation requires presence of ST-elevation in posterior-leads (V7-V9). We investigated the ability of hospital doctors and paramedics to diagnose posterior STEMI (PMI). METHODS Doctors in the emergency department and ...

BACKGROUND Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) is a major surgical complication that is costly and causes much morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and treatment of PMIs have evolved over time. Many treatments are expensive but may reduce ancillary expenses including the duration of hospital stay. The time-dependent economic impact of novel treatments for PMI remains unexplored. The authors...
