Myocardial infarction (MI) rapidly impairs cardiac contractile function and instigates maladaptive remodeling leading to heart failure. Patient-specific models are a maturing technology for developing and determining therapeutic modalities for MI that require accurate descriptions of myocardial mechanics. While ...
While women will present with similar symptoms as men when having an acute myocardial infarction, depending upon the type of heart attack, they are less likely to receive the same aggressive care, including heart catheterization,angioplasty, and stenting (the procedure during catheterization where the ...

It can be secondary to acute atherosclerotic plaque disruption (type 1 myocardial infarction [T1MI]), or alterations in myocardial oxygen supply and/or demand in the absence of acute atherothrombosis (type 2 myocardial infarction [T2MI]) (1). Based on a comprehensive review of the peer-...
Providing information for myocardial infarction patients is an important nursing function and is part of the role of health-care professionals delivering cardiac education. It is essential to acknowledge and incorporate the self-perceived needs of patients into the information they receive. Hospital stays...

The topic of infarction and the role of microcirculation in infarction has been extensively studied particularly in rat models [51, 58, 59]. Among the more recent ones, Vandsburger et al. [60] have studied MBF along with many other parameters including regional function in a nNOS-/- knock...
The impact of left anterior descending coronary artery length on survival following myocardial infarction: To the apex and beyondNumerous predictors for outcome following myocar-dial infarction (MI) have been established. These can be categorically divided in many different ways, such as variables which...
Reperfusion injury is a complication of vascular reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction and is estimated to occur in up to 60% of patients1,2. While reperfusion remains the most effective strategy for reducing infarct size and substantially improves myocardial salvage, reperfusion injury may...
Diabetic cardiomyopathy also involves impairment of myocardial autonomic neurons and direct neuronal damage to afferent and efferent fibers, leading to cardiac autonomic dysregulation and silent myocardial infarction [8]. Several studies have evaluated myocardial norepinephrine (NE) levels and myocardial ...
