St-elevation myocardial infarction systems of care in Africa
Objectives: The aim of the study is to describe and summarise the body of literature pertaining to ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Systems of Care (STEMI SOC), as well as barriers and solutions to STEMI SOC implementation in the African context. Methods: The Scoping Review has been designed …

Electrocardiographic predictors of clinical outcome in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
… remain an important contributor to mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The size of myocardial injury is one more important factor influencing the prognosis of STEMI patients. The search for new non-invasive markers, which can be relatively simply calculated using conventional …

Beta-blocker therapy in the era of primary percutaneous intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction
… The potential benefit of beta-blocker for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was believed as therapeutic effects of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. With present therapeutic advance, numbers of STEMI patients with LV dysfunction have been decreased. We studied the long term …

Mortality Risk Among Patients Who Present to Hospitals with Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
In the emergent setting of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), decisions for immediate coronary angiography are made when the likelihood of survival is highly variable and unknown. A simple prognostic tool that can identify …

A cross-sectional study of ECG patterns and outcomes of patients thrombolysed for ST-elevation myocardial infarction at a district, public Cape Town hospital
… There is insufficient data to describe ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in sub-Saharan African settings using common diagnostic criteria. This study describes the outcomes at discharge (survival, death or transferred) of patients thrombolysed for STEMI at a public hospital …

Prevalence of Occlusive Myocardial Infarction (OMI) in patients diagnosed with Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) at a single private facility in Cape Town, South Africa, during 2019
Background: ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is strongly associated with acute coronary occlusion, leading to less urgent management of Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI), often perceived as partial occlusion. However, 25.5% of NSTEMIs involve total coronary occlusion, …

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 …

Cardiology Implications of ED COVID-19 Patients in an Underserved Rural Health Care Environment
<p><strong>Background/Purpose: </strong>Positive COVID-19 patients with chronic comorbidities have been associated with severe cardiac complications (e.g., STEMI, NSTEMI, myocarditis, pericarditis, AF) specifically among underserved communities. Acute STEMI and NSTEMI are cardiac conditions …

Evaluating the performance of the GRACE and TIMI risk scores in acute coronary syndromes: a South African cohort
… The GRACE and TIMI scores are validated risk stratification tools that accurately predict risk of in-hospital, 30-day, and one-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS). The performance of GRACE and TIMI scores in a setting where most ST-elevation …

Can novel technologies improve the accuracy of pre-hospital diagnosis in patients with a suspected occlusion myocardial infarction?
… of a coronary artery, known as occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI), is an underdiagnosed condition, with approximately 25% of patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) having an OMI and a higher mortality than non-OMI patients.<br/>Aim<br/>This thesis aimed to define …

Time is muscle : a systematic review investigating the role of remote ischaemic preconditioning and glucose-insulin-potassium infusions as adjunctive therapies to revascularisation in coronary artery disease
… management of coronary artery disease (CAD) most advances have concerned improvements in catheter-based interventional techniques and complex pharmacotherapy, with an emphasis on time, which unfortunately, cannot always achieved. However, simple measures with reassuring benefit that can be …

EFFECTS OF STRESS HYPERGLYCEMIA ACCORDING TO DIABETICSTATUS IN PATIENTS WITH ST-ELEVATION MYOCARDIALINFARCTION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH CARDIAC CELL INJURYAND MITOCHONDRIAL DAMAGE: A TRANSLATIONAL APPROACH
Background: Acute hyperglycemia (AH) is common in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and predicts outcomes. AH is a more powerful prognostic predictor in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) than with DM, emphasizing the role of an acute glucose rise compared to chronic elevations. …

STEMI Management and Outcomes at a Regional Hospital in Guatemala
BACKGROUND: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide, with a growing burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In Guatemala, in-hospital mortality from acute coronary syndromes markedly exceeds global averages due to delayed …

Hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock
… Reperfusion 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 …

Mode of transport to hospital among patients with ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi: correlates, physician and patient attitudes, and associated clinical outcomes
Introduction: Acute coronary syndromes, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Existing research shows that prehospital care provided by emergency medical services (EMS) can significantly improve outcomes. However, EMS remains …
