But he also highlighted some shortcomings, such as the relatively small sample size, the lack of power for clinical outcomes, and the 3-day interval between the index episode and the initial angiogram, which suggests that the patients were “not that acute” and that the findings cannot be ex...
ECG showed ST-depression: 0.1 mV in V2-6. Echocardiogram showed reduced ejection fraction, left ventricular dilatation, and mitral regurgitation. Elevated cardiac enzymes. Chest X-ray showed pulmonary edema and cardiomegaly. Relevant catheterization findings •RCA #1 CTO •LCX #11 CTO •LMT 50...

Background: Among acute coronary patients, the ratio of non ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is increasing and according to recent studies, less than 30% of myocardial infarctions (MIs) are due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Unlike STEMI, in NSTEMI the ECG is not ab...
Acute MI was diagnosed based on the clinical manifestation, ECG, and a rise in cardiac markers. Acute MI patients were classified as either STEMI or NSTEMI. Their chronographs, coronary risks, co-morbidity, ECG, echocardiogram, angiographic findings, interventions, and short-term outcomes were ...
previous history of HF, Killip class, stroke, ST segment depression, negative T waves in the ECG, previous surgical revascularization and elevated markers of myocardial damage; echocardiographic findings and serum biomarkers at the time of diagnosis (troponin T, proBNP, D-dimer, LDH and cr...
Background: Changes in the electrocardiographic findings, namely the ratio T sum to QRS sum (T/QRS ratio), between the initial electrocardiogram (ECG) and the baseline ECG have rarely been investigated in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Thus, we aimed to determine...
