- showed that Q-waves on the baseline ECG are an independent marker of worse clinical outcome and, importantly, "after multivariable adjustment, baseline Q-wave but not time from symptom onset was significantly associated with a 78% relative increase in the hazard of 90-day mortality and a 90% relative increase in the hazard of death, shock, and CHF. (blogspot.fr)
- Thus, another study shows that the ECG is a better marker of "acuteness" of the ECG than is time of symptom onset. (blogspot.fr)

- Systolic dysfunction during exercise is a physiologically meaningful marker of ischemia that might bear closer comparison with ischemic preconditioning. (onlinejacc.org)
- To avoid missing early myocardial damage in patients with normal or nondiagnostic electrocardiograms, physicians routinely employ the use of serial troponin measurements initially on arrival to the emergency department (ED) and subsequently at a time frame of 6 to 12 hours after the onset of ischemic symptoms. (hindawi.com)
- The precise timing of serum marker measurement, however, must take into account the uncertainties often present with the exact timing of onset of ischemic symptoms and the sensitivity, precision, and institutional norms of the assay being utilized. (hindawi.com)
- This clinical trial will determine an acceptable dose of reteplase in combination with a fixed dose of abciximab for ischemic stroke 3-24 hours from onset in patients screened with brain CT rather than MRI (as required by the ROSIE protocol). (clinicaltrials.gov)

(onlinejacc.org)
infarct
- As the myocardium infarcts (Q-waves), rather than being "injured," (as manifested by ST elevation and hyperacute T-waves), the size of the T-wave diminishes, and also the ST elevation diminishes and Q-waves begin to form (although in anterior STEMI Q-waves may form very early due to ischemia of the conducting system, not infarct!
