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 …

Computational biomechanics of acute myocardial infarction and its treatment
The intramyocardial injection of biomaterials is an emerging therapy for myocardial infarction. Computational methods can help to study the mechanical effect s of biomaterial injectates on the infarcted heart s and can contribute to advance and optimise the concept of this therapy. The distribution …

The Lived Experience of Women Prior to Hospitalization for Acute Myocardial Infarction
… research regarding the experiences of women with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This phenomenological study explored the lived experience of women with AMI immediately prior to hospitalization. The lines of inquiry focused on descriptive language regarding pre-event feelings, the symptoms …

Hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock
… therapy in patients with an ongoing ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is to re-establish coronary flow in the epicardial arteries as soon as possible in order to reduce infarct size and associated complications. Hypothermia has in experimental studies been shown to reduce infarct size. …

Membrane Stabilizing Copolymer Poloxamer 188 in Preclinical Models of Acute Myocardial Infarction Reperfusion
… of death worldwide, affecting millions annually. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a classic manifestation of coronary artery disease and occurs when prolonged myocardial ischemia reaches a critical threshold, partially or completely occluding the coronary arteries, leading to necrosis of the …

Association between cardiac rehabilitation participation and health status outcomes after acute myocardial infarction
… performance measure for the quality of care in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) survivors. While participation in CR after AMI is associated with reduced mortality, conflicting data exists on its association with health status outcomes. Using data from 2 prospective AMI registries (TRIUMPH and …

Spiritual coping of Maltese patients with first acute myocardial infarction: a longitudinal study
… the high levels of anxiety and depression in myocardial infarction (MI). This is because patients with MI face both an acute life-threatening illness and the potential for living with a major illness (Roebuck et al. 2001, Thornton 2001, Kim et al. 2000). Consequently, the patients' whole sense …

Infarct size and free fatty acids in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction
The management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been improved by the realisation that the size of infarction can influence mortality (Sobel et al, 1972) and that the infarct size can be altered by subsequent therapy (Maroko et al, 1972). The identification of any factor which may have …

Some Physiological Effects of the Bed Bath on the Cardiovascular System of Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients
… specifies the kinds and amounts of activity that acute myocardial infarction patients may have. The protocol has described six activity levels with each successive level permitting more activity. The patient must have reached the fourth level of progression before he is permitted to receive a …

Complete heart block complicating acute myocardial infarction, and the role of artificial pacing in its management
… of complete heart block (CHB) complicating acute myocardial infarction, 100 patients with this disorder of conduction were studied under conditions of continuous electrocardiographic monitoring and intensive care with pacing immediately available. The clinical and electrocardiographic …

Measurement of physical activity levels and self-efficacy during early recovery after acute myocardial infarction in Jordan
… that supports lifestyle behaviour change after acute myocardial infarction. Self-efficacy and regular physical activity are particularly important for improving of patients’ health outcomes. No studies have measured both cardiac self-efficacy and physical activity levels after acute myocardial …

Common risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction: Population-based studies with a focus on gender differences
The overall aim of this thesis was to explore how the risk for AMI, and the associations between several of its risk factors, differs by gender. Information was collected from four Swedish cohorts: one patient cohort from Skara (1992-1993, n=1149) and three population-based cohorts, i.e. from Skara …

Invasive Physiologic Assessment of Myocardial Viability After Primary Angioplasty in Acute Myocardial Infarction: Comparison With FDG-PET Imaging
… microcirculaton is an important determinant of myocardial viability and clinical outcomes in acute myocardial infarction(AMI). However, to date, there has been lacking in comparative studies on the most reliable invasive, on-site measurement for assessing the microvascular integrity and …
