Resultados a mediano plazo del implante de stents imbricados en pacientes con infarto con supradesnivel del ST: el rol de los stents medicados

Rev. chil. cardiol; 36 (3), 2017
Resumen: Introducción: El implante de dos stents imbricados (SIMB) es una práctica frecuente en el laboratorio de hemodinamia. Sin embargo, evidencia reciente sugiere que en pacientes con infarto con supradesnivel del segmento ST (IAMc/SDST) esta técnica puede asociarse a mejores resultados cuando se...

Correlation between GDF-15 gene polymorphism and the formation of collateral circulation in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Summary Objective: To explore the correlation between growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) -3148C/G polymorphism and the formation of collateral circulation in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Han population of Taiyuan area. Method: The present study included 92 STEMI patients a...

Caracterización clinicoepidemiológica de pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo según sexo
Clinical and epidemiological characterization of patients with acute coronary syndrome according to sex

Medisan; 21 (10), 2017
Se realizó una investigación descriptiva, longitudinal y retrospectiva de 486 adultos egresados vivos tras presentar alguna forma clínica del síndrome coronario agudo, pertenecientes a 4 áreas de salud del municipio de Santiago de Cuba, desde el 2004 hasta el 2007, a fin de identificar algunas carac...

Single Derivation Fragmented QRS Can Predict Poor Prognosis in Successfully Revascularized Acute STEMI Patients

Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (3), 2017
Abstract Background: QRS fragmentation (fQRS) is classically defined as the presence of slurred QRS morphology in at least two contiguous leads, and its prognostic importance has been shown in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, no study has investigated the significance of single lead ...

Cardiogenic shock with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (ReNa-Shock ST)

Medicina (B.Aires); 77 (4), 2017
Cardiogenic shock (CS) in the setting of an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a severe complication and constitutes one of the principal causes of death associated with this condition. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, treatment strategies and hospita...

Validación del puntaje de riesgo TIMI como predictor de mortalidad en pacientes chilenos con infarto agudo al miocardio con supradesnivel de ST

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (5), 2017
Background: Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction risk score (TIMI-RS) was designed to predict early mortality in patients with a ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI). Aim: To evaluate the predictive capacity for hospital mortality of TIMI-RS. Material and Methods: Patients with ≤ 12-h...

Effects of low-dose recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on anterior myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The mortality due to cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is high even in patients with early revascularization. Infusion of low dose recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) at the time of AMI is well tolerated and could improve cardiac fun...

Impact of coronary intensive care unit in treatment of myocardial infarction

Summary Introduction: The mortality rate attributed to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has decreased in the world. However, this disease is still responsible for high costs for health systems. Several factors could decrease mortality in these patients, including implementation of card...

Which Coronary Lesions Are More Prone to Cause Acute Myocardial Infarction?

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (2), 2017
Abstract Background: According to common belief, most myocardial infarctions (MIs) are due to the rupture of nonsevere, vulnerable plaques with < 70% obstruction. Data from recent trials challenge this belief, suggesting that the risk of coronary occlusion is, in fact, much higher after severe stenos...

Relación entre los puntajes del índice de pendiente del segmento ST/frecuencia cardiaca y el índice del cambio del segmento ST sobre el cambio de la frecuencia cardiaca durante la realización de la prueba de esfuerzo convencional con la presentación de nuevos eventos cardiovasculares

Rev. colomb. cardiol; 24 (1), 2017
Resumen Introducción: La prueba de esfuerzo convencional es una herramienta diagnóstica de fácil interpretación y accesibilidad que se utiliza de forma frecuente en la evaluación del dolor torácico, no obstante, sus características operativas están influenciadas por múltiples variables resulta...
