Behaviour change maintenance following a myocardial infarction
… change maintenance for people who have had a myocardial infarction within the preceding six months. This was a randomised controlled trial. Thirty-two participants were recruited from the local District Health Board’s cardiac rehabilitation service. Participants were randomised into either the …

Forebrain Noradrenergic Alterations and Anxiety After Myocardial Infarction
<p>Thirty to 45% of patients who suffer a myocardial infarction (MI) develop anxiety disorders and/or depression, and the development of mood and anxiety disorders following MI is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Depressed post-MI patients have an increased risk of …

Computational modelling of cardiac function and myocardial infarction
… death in South Africa. In particular non-fatal myocardial infarction is a key determinant for future cardiac failure due to adverse remodelling and electrophysiological dysfunction. Computational modelling of the electrophysiology and mechanics of the heart can provide useful insights into the …

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 …

Investigation of synthetic hydrogels as therapy for myocardial infarction
This thesis investigated the potential of synthetic polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels for restoration of biomechanical integrity and for controlled cardiac release of drugs. ... The aim of this study was to directly compare the effect of injecting an enzymatically degradable polyethylene glycol …

High degree atrioventricular block in acute inferior myocardial infarction
Acute inferior myocardial infarction is generally associated with a benign course and low in-hospital mortality. However, a group of patients with high degree atrioventricular block has significantly increased mortality. Although some of the prognostic factors associated with increased mortality …

Lifestyle self-management experiences of South Asians post myocardial infarction
Background: Coronary heart disease is the biggest killer in this country. South Asians carry the burden of increased incidence and prevalence and have poorer outcomes after a MI than the general UK population. Reviews have shown lifestyle modification including physical activity, healthy diet and …

Electrocardiographic predictors of clinical outcome in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
… 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 ECG …

The role of self-compassion in adjustment following myocardial infarction
Background: The thesis investigated the role of self-compassion, defined as “being open to and moved by one‟s own suffering, experiencing feelings of caring and kindness toward one-self, taking an understanding, non-judgmental attitude toward one‟s own inadequacies and failures and recognising that …

Pathophysiological role of aldosterone in cardiac remodelling after myocardial infarction
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a common and serious manifestation of coronary artery disease. The development of heart failure (HF) and/or evidence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) following AMI increases both in-hospital and longer-term mortality. A series of structural …

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of myocardial infarction
… the preservation of cardiac 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 …
