Acquired QT prolongation can be secondary to ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, intracranial processes including anoxic brain injury, cardioversion, medications, or temperature, all of which decrease the specificity for a diagnosis of LQTS (16). If reversible causes of QT prolongation are not present or...
Progression may be forestalled by: (1) regular follow-up with serial creatinine assessment to detect reversible causes of renal ischemia, (2) rigorous control of blood pressure within accepted guidelines, and (3) avoidance of medications that have significant nephrotoxic properties (for example, ...
However, the kidney response to the injury during pregnancy has not been addressed. We investigated the mechanisms of the pregnancy influence on AKI. During pregnancy, the kidneys were shown to be more tolerant to AKI. Pregnant animals showed remarkable preservation of kidney functions after ischemia...
(2) Intracellular calcium overload (e.g., due to ischemia-reperfusion injury) and metabolic disturbances synergistically lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, amplifying myocardial injury [41]. In summary, serum calcium levels exhibit distinct pathological mechanisms in AMI and CKM syndrome: in patients ...
also verified that, among patients with sepsis, those with AMI had a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate than those with demand ischemia (48.3% vs. 28.5%)6. In another large cohort study, Dalager-Pedersen et al. reported that, compared to other hospitalized patients, those with ...
Patients were included based on ICD-9 code 410 and the universal definition of AMI. LAR was calculated as the ratio of baseline lactate to albumin levels within the first 24 h of ICU admission. The outcome was all-cause mortality within 28 days after ICU admission. Multivariable logistic ...
If an emergency call prompted suspicion of stroke, both a conventional ambulance and an MSU, when available, were dispatched. Functional outcomes of patients with final diagnosis of acute cerebral ischemia who were eligible for thrombolysis or thrombectomy were compared based on the initial dispatch (...

(PCI) with adjunctive glycoprotein IIb/IIIa is preferred overthrombolytic therapy. It is effective and generally results in more favorable outcomes than thrombolytic therapy. When PCI is performed, use of IV heparin is recommended. Coronary stents are useful to decrease ischemia, improve long-term ...
The annual incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the USA is estimated at 2 per 1,000 (0.2 %) [4]; in patients with inducible dysrhythmias and chronic heart failure due to ischemia (the highest risk subgroup), that incidence climbs to more than 30 %. Other high-risk groups ...
