Background Early recognition of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is needed for timely cardiac monitoring and reperfusion therapy. Methods Three anonymously linked New Zealand ...

A non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, also called an NSTEMI or a non-STEMI, is a type of heart attack. While it's often less damaging to your heart than a STEMI, it's still a serious ...

IV = intravenous; NSTEMI = non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction; P2Y12 = purinergic receptor P2Y, G-protein coupled, 12 protein; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention. I22.0 Subsequent ST ...

Background: Although reperfusion therapy has led to improvements in the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) during a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Computer illustration showing ST-elevation which is measured at the junctional or J-point. Each year approximately 750,000 people ...

Many people do not realize that there is more than one form of a heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction. Some only involve a partial obstruction of blood flow. Heart specialists refer to ...

A STEMI, or ST elevation myocardial infarction, is a heart attack that occurs when a major artery feeding into the heart is completely blocked. This changes the blood flow to the organ and the ...

Discussion Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide [2]. The advent of early reperfusion therapy has significantly reduced in-hospital mortality and improved outcomes in ...

Residual ST-segment elevation after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has traditionally been considered a predictor of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and ventricular aneurism.

They reaffirmed the importance of identifying posterior STEMI and performing immediate ... A. Concordant ST-segment elevation of ≥ 1 mm in any lead (Figure 1). Because patients with right ...

Background: The correlation between myocardial strain and infraction size by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with preserved left ventricular ...
