Avoiding 30-day Readmissions of Acute MI Patients Utilizing Cardiac Rehabilitation
<p>A significant number of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients were readmitted to an urban San Francisco Medical Center within 5-7 days post discharge this year. Two of the main identified causes were symptom management issues and medication instructions, both of which are part of the …

The Use of Hair Cortisol as a Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Patients with a recent Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background Acute Myocardial infarction (MI) or heart attack is a leading cause of death worldwide. Since an MI is a stressful life event, plasma cortisol levels are expected to increase significantly from the baseline. Cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) as products of the …

The Effect of Antidepressants on Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality: A Population-based Cohort Study
… of these drugs. Objective: To assess the risk of acute MI and cardiac death associated the use of various classes of antidepressants, and determine whether this risk is modified by the presence of predisposing factors. Methods: We identified a population-based, retrospective cohort study of 71,253 …

INVESTIGATION OF INOSINE AND HYPOXANTHINE AS BIOMARKERS OF CARDIAC ISCHEMIA IN PLASMA OF NON-TRAUMATIC CHEST PAIN PATIENTS AND A RAPID ANALYTICAL SYSTEM FOR ASSESSMENT
Each year in the U.S., approximately 7-8 million patients with non-traumatic chest pain visit hospital emergency departments (ED) for medical evaluation. It is estimated that approximately 2-5% of these patients are experiencing acute cardiac ischemia, but due to the shortcomings of current test …

Electrocardiographic predictors of poor outcome in acute myocardial infarction
Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death worldwide. An ECG is indicated in all patients with suspected MI. The aim of this study was to evaluate electrocardiographic predictors of outcome in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: We analyzed 12-lead ECGs of 301 …

Stabilization of the Cardiac Nervous System During Cardiac Stress Induces Cardioprotection
… the myocytes themselves. This study aims to determine: 1) how select components of the cardiac nervous system respond to acute cardiac stress, including myocardial ischemia (MI) and induced neural imbalance leading to cardiac electrical instability, and 2) how neuromodulation can affect …

Cardiac repair post-myocardial infarction: Roles of the primary cilium and the long non-coding RNA Malat1
… a coronary artery causes myocardial infarction (MI), resulting in cardiomyocyte cell death. The surviving myocardium undergoes a deleterious remodeling process which causes further injury, and can ultimately result in heart failure. Despite therapeutic advances that have prolonged life, MI …

Tissue Salvage in the Non-reperfused Myocardium Mediated by (the absence of the circadian rhythm gene) mPer2 and (the receptor tyrosine kinase) EphrinA1
… clock gene would provide cardioprotection to mice that had undergone permanent coronary ligation to induce myocardial infarction (MI). mPer2-M mice had a 43% smaller infarct size compared to wild type (WT), along with reduced leukocyte infiltration, increased capillary density, increased …

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of myocardial infarction
… function following myocardial infarction (MI). However concerns have emerged regarding the safety of acute intracoronary (IC) MSC delivery specifically related to mortality, micro-infarction and microvascular flow restriction post cell therapy in animal models. This thesis aimed to firstly …

PHARMACOLOGICAL MODULATION OF THE ADAPTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM IN ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE
… both atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction (MI). Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a subset of the adaptive immune system involved in immune tolerance. Animal models show that increasing Treg cell numbers in atherosclerosis can limit disease progression. Several small clinical studies have used …

Effects of a Pharmacological Activator of Ca2+-activated K+ Channels (KCa2/3) on Recovery from Acute Myocardial Infarction in Mice
… studies from our group have demonstrated that acute SKA-31 treatment improved agonist-evoked vasodilation in resistance arteries from multiple vascular beds and species, and this effect remains robust in arteries from Type 2 Diabetic tissues. Prolonged administration of SKA-31 to aged male rats …

Ventricular Depolarization in Ischemic Heart Disease.Value of Electrocardiography in Assessment of Severity and Extent of Acute Myocardial Ischemia.
… In patients with symptoms compatible with acute myocardial infarction (MI), early triage by ECG in the pre-hospital phase by ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) criteria is important for direct transport of these patients to a regional center for primary percutaneous coronary …

Role of extracellular environment in mechanical properties of human cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts
Acute MI results in adverse remodelling of the myocardium, eventually leading to contractile dysfunction and chronic heart failure. Collectively, the formation of fibrotic scar tissue in the left ventricle inhibits its contractile function and leads to a cardiac output loss. Cardiac fibroblast and …

DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE-GUIDED LEARNING FOR ROBUST MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION DETECTION FROM 12-LEAD ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS
Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) represents one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality on a global scale. Diagnosis is primarily based on the interpretation of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) according to established clinical guidelines that specify alterations in ECG …
