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 …

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 …

Die Beurteilung von Veränderungen der myokardialen Perfusion nach PTCA bei akutem Myokardinfarkt durch wiederholte Bestimmung des Myocardial Blush Grade
This study focused on the evolution of myocardial perfusion during follow-up after primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its association with final left ventricular (LV) function. The angiographic myocardial blush grade (MBG) was analyzed immediately after intervention and …

Quality of life and ethics-patients with ischemic heart disease
One month and one year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=296), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=99) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=18) patients completed a questionnaire for self-assessment of quality of life (QoL) during the period 1989?1991. Patients differed …

The impact of diabetes on cardiac remodelling after myocardial infarction: potential role of thyroid hormone signalling
Diabetes (DM) increases mortality after myocardial infarction and deteriorates post-ischaemic cardiac remodelling. This study investigated possible implications of thyroid hormone (TH) signalling in either reducing or preventing this response. TH signalling has a regulatory role in metabolism, …

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, …
