Midwest STEMI ConsortiumSTEMI due to LM culprit artery disease represents a clinically high-risk subset of patients with substantial in-hospital mortality. In this paper, we summarize the available clinical data pertaining to STEMI with LM culprit, discuss unique ECG characteristics, and discuss ...
Evaluation of left atrial myocardial deformation in patients with acute MR after STEMI using CMR feature tracking Left atrium (LA) is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Data related to LA functional changes during acute MR after ST-segmen... T Lapinskas,L Urbonaite,...
He had history of previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) two years ago.ECG taken at emergency room (ER) showed acute inferolateral ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiogram (CAG) revealed trifurcating left main with ramus as...
Cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the left main and left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery inlets were measured. The main pulmonary artery (MPA) inlet and outlet and MPA LAD plane, which adjoined the LAD in the MPA, were reconstructed. CSAs, perimeters, and hydraulic diameters were ...
(STEMI). Therefore, that patient is a candidate for acute reperfusion therapy (either intravenousfibrinolyticsor immediate percutaneous coronary intervention[PCI]).[1,2,3]However, skeptics of the current guidelines suggest thatacute myocardial infarction(AMI) is ruled out in many of these patients ...
SR: Strain rate ST segment: ECG section between the end of S wave and beginning of T wave STE: Speckle tracking echocardiography STE-ACS: ST-elevation ACS STEMI: ST segment elevation myocardial infarction STI: Speckle tacking imaging WMSI: Wall motion score index ...
ECG changes not described. Medical Management. Outcome not described. CT coronary angiography did not show any significant lesion. PDA terminally gave rise to two branches to the left ventricle. 9 11 Kim et al. [13] 2011 67/male STEMI – ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction involving ...
Endovascular repair is an emerging alternative to treatment and is likely to form the mainstay of treatment in future [38]. Our patient presented in extremis with sudden onset of right hemothorax and left hemiparesis and was found to have a rupture of the false aneurysm which originated at ...
Our study elicited three main findings. First, there was a distinct transmural gradient of Ecc in the LV myocardium in which endocardial Ecc was the highest and epicardial was the lowest. Second, Ell in the left ventricle decreased from the base to the apex. Finally, the distribution pattern...
The diagnosis of STEMI was made on the basis of typical ECG changes and/or chest pain that was suggestive of myocardial ischemia and associated with the elevation of cardiac biomarkers. All patients with STEMI underwent coronary angiography and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The ...
