The heartmuscle itself is very limited in its capacity to extract oxygen in the blood that is being pumped. Only the inner layers (the endocardium) profit from this oxygenrich blood. The outer layers of the heart (the epicardium) are dependent on the coronary arteries for the supply of oxygen and nutrients. With aid of an ECG, the occluded coronary can be identified. This is valuable information for the clinician, because treatment and complications of for instance an anterior wall infarction is different than those of an inferior wall infarction. The anterior wall performs the main pump function, and decay of the function of this wall will lead to decrease of bloodpressure, increase of heartrate, shock and on a longer term: heart failure. An inferior wall infarction is often accompanied with a decrease in heartrate because of involvement of the sinusnode. Longterm effects of an inferior wall infarction are usually less severe than those of an anterior wall infarction. The heart is supplied of ...

Magnetic resonance tagging was used to calculate myocardial strains (15). All studies were obtained on a 1.0-tesla MR unit (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). Tags are noninvasive markers placed on the myocardium by presaturating planes at end-diastole perpendicular to the subsequent imaging planes. They show up on the images as dark lines that move and deform with the myocardium on which they are inscribed. Five parallel short-axis planes and four radially oriented long-axis planes crossing the center of the LV were defined (Fig. 1). The gravitational centerline of the LV cavity was reached by the best fit connecting the center of the cavity at each of the different short-axis levels. Images were acquired at end-diastole and end-systole in all these planes, using the short-axis planes as tagging planes for the long-axis images and vice versa. By combining the short- and long-axis information, the entire LV wall, except for the apex, could be reconstructed into 32 small cuboids for which the ...

The simplicity of this equation system, especially when restricted to only a few species, makes it ideal for introducing undergraduates to mathematical modeling and research.. Tilman[1982] argues persuasively based on these equations that, with three nutrients available, at most three species may coexist, but this result contradicts the diversity of species in our ecosystem. Explaining the physical and biological processes that maintain diversity, including finding mathematical models that show how diverse ecosystems develop and interact, are overarching questions.. My current work includes identifying mechanisms that allow two species to coexist in nature, even though chemostat experiments and initial numerical models indicate one should out-compete and exclude the other species. Future work will include addressing the question by which mechanisms do meta-communities (Hanski[2004]), e.g. lakes connected by rivers, promote diversity in the ecosystem. This involves much more complicated ...

SCVS 2018 Abstracts: Statins Reduce Mortality And Failure To Rescue after Myocardial Infarction Following Aortobifemoral Bypass In Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease Patients

OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate regional morphology and function in patients in their first week after having a reperfused anterior myocardial infarction (MI) using magnetic resonance (MR) myocardial tagging. BACKGROUND: The mechanism of myocardial dysfunction in the remote, noninfarct-related regions is an unresolved issue to date. METHODS: Sixteen patients with a first reperfused transmural anterior MI were studied with MR tagging at 5 +/- 2 days after the event, and the results were compared with those of an age-matched control group regions. The left ventricle (LV) was divided into infarct, adjacent and remote regions. Magnetic resonance tagging provided information on the regional ventricular morphology and function. RESULTS: Morphologically, an increase of the circumferential radius of curvature was found in the remote myocardium, whereas the longitudinal radius of curvature was increased in all regions of the LV. A significant increase in apical sphericity was also found. A significant ...

The clinical and pathophysiological implications of our previous findings prompted the present study, which addressed three major questions: 1) Is, indeed, analysis of BRS after MI a specific and sensitive marker for sudden death-risk stratification? 2) Does MI modify BRS? 3) Does analysis of BRS before MI provide information about outcoming during ischemic episodes occurring after MI? An anterior MI was ...

Rhabdomyolisis is a clinical and biochemical syndrome caused by the accumulation of toxic substances due to necrosis of skeletal muscle cells. Trauma has been considered the most common cause. The clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic CK rise to renal failure and death. A successful treatment lies on a prompt clinical suspicion, an intense intravenous volume overload and correction of electrolytic imbalance.

Horizontal plane projections of vectorcardiograms registered by the Frank lead system were analyzed in 36 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and in 24 with left ventricular hypertrophy and associated anterior wall infarction. All were studied at autopsy. The 0.01-, 0.02-, 0.03-second, and maximum QRS vectors were compared with similar measurements in 60 control subjects previously reported. New criteria for the vector-cardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy have been outlined. Close agreement with earlier reported groups of patients with anteroseptal and anterolateral infarction was found, and findings by others in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy were confirmed.. The direction of the 0.02-second QRS vector allowed the separation of the infarct group from the left ventricular hypertrophy group and from the normal, whereas the direction of the 0.03-second and maximum QRS vectors separated left ventricular hypertrophy from the normal. The magnitude of the maximum ...

Ischemic animals that received low dose CsA, MP or vehicle displayed profound motor and neurological impairments at days 1-3 after stroke. In contrast, ischemic animals that received high dose CsA exhibited near normal motor and neurological functions throughout the test period. Of note, ischemic animals that received low dose CsA plus MP showed significantly less motor and neurological deficits at day 1, but thereafter ...

Of the clinical variables examined by multiple logistic regression analysis, only patient age and anterior wall myocardial infarction correlated with the need for urgent cardiac catheterization (p = 0.0016 and p = 0.017, respectively). Of the 75 patients undergoing urgent coronary angiography, only 39% had an occluded infarct-related artery. Emergency coronary angioplasty was performed in 49% of the patients and coronary artery bypass graft surgery was performed urgently in 3%. Despite these interventions, the need for urgent cardiac catheterization was associated with an in-hospital mortality rate of 7% (vs. 3% in the group not requiring urgent angiography, p = 0.36); mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 50.5 ±11% (vs. 54.3 ±10.8%, p = 0.12) and regional infarct zone wall motion was -2.68 ±1.07 SD/chord (vs. -2.46 ±1.19 SD/chord; p = 0.44).. ...

Administration of potent vasodepressor agents such as the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, may precipitate myocardial ischemic events in patients with coronary artery disease, particularly if this treatment is preceded by a discontinuation of beta-blocking drugs such as propranolol.

We studied the evolution of body-surface potential map (BSPM) patterns in 32 patients following first acute inferior myocardial infarction. Initial BSPMs were obtained at a mean of 79 hours post-infarction; follow-up BSPMs, a mean of eight months post-infarction. Temporal area-of-difference maps, constructed by subtracting initial from follow-up group-mean BSPMs, revealed reciprocal changes over the superior and inferior torso for both Q-zone and ST-segment time-integral distributions. The temporal changes in Q-zone patterns were small but definite: over the inferior torso there was a relative gain in Q-zone values and, over the superior torso, a relative decrease. In contrast, there were marked spatial and quantitative changes of ST-segment distributions during the follow-up period. Over the superior torso, particularly anteriorly, there was a gain in ST-segment values; over the inferior torso, a decrease. With the small temporal changes in Q-zone time-integral distributions, individual Q-zone maps

The xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol that is commonly used to treat gout, has been suggested to have pleiotropic effects that are likely to reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in at risk individuals. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of allopurinol treatment in reducing the incidence of MI. MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomised controlled trials examining the efficacy of allopurinol in reducing the incidence of MI. The quality of study methodology was assessed by two independent reviewers using the Cochrane Collaborations tool for assessing risk of bias. This meta-analysis was conducted using a fixed-effects model, and heterogeneity was assessed with the I2 index. One thousand one hundred twenty-three citations were screened and only six studies satisfied the inclusion criterion. Published between 1988 and 1995, all studies examined the cardioprotective efficacy of allopurinol in the setting of coronary

440 patients with a mean age of 64.5 ± 12.8 y were studied 48 h to 120 h after acute MI and acute PTCA using a 1.5 T Gyroscan Intera 1.5 T scanner (Philips). SSFP sequences in short axis (SA) orientation were used for volumetry, T2-weighted images in SA for visualisation of edema and 3D DE sequences in SA and 4-chamber-view orientation for the detection of scar tissue after the application of 0.15 mmol/kg gadolinium-DTPA. RV ejection fraction (RV-EF) of patients with RV involvement (group1) was compared to RV-EF of age matched MI patients without RV involvement (group2). ...

T-wave polarity in V1 to V3 was examined in 70 patients with acute inferior wall myocardial infarctions (IWMI) as an indicator of significant disease in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Fifty-three percent (37/70) had precordial T-wave inversions, and of these 38 percent (14/37) had angiographically significant LAD disease. Conversely, 47 percent (33/70) had upright T waves in V1 to V3, and of these, 52 percent (17/33) had significant LAD disease. Likewise, 41 percent of the patients with ST segment depression in V1 to V3 had significant LAD disease, while 50 percent of those with isoelectric ST segments were similarly affected ...

So what would I do?? I think there is some question on the initial ECG as to whether the ST elevation is definitely new (though I would highly suspect that it is). I would get serial ECGs for a longer time, get an immediate formal echo, and ultimately I believe that these would be convincing of acute (probably reperfused) STEMI. The positive initial trop would help, but this would be positive in a nonSTEMI also. Once convinced that the STE is new, I would activate the cath lab because acute anterior STEMI, even if reperfused, is extremely unstable and dangerous. ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of a giant negative T wave (, or = 1.0 mV) in precordial leads of 12-lead electrocardiograms in the acute phase of Q wave myocardial infarction as a predictor of myocardial salvage. METHODS: Coronary angiographic and electrocardiographic findings, left ventricular ejection fraction in the chronic stage, and levels of cardiac enzymes were compared in patients with myocardial infarction with (group GNT, n = 31) and without (group N, n = 20) a giant negative T wave. GNT patients were divided into two subgroups according to the presence (GNT:R[+], n = 10) or absence (GNT: R[-], n = 21) of R wave recovery with an amplitude , or = 0.1 mV in at least one lead that had shown Q waves. RESULTS: The maximum level of creatine kinase and the total creatine kinase were lower in group GNT compared with group N (P , 0.05). The left ventricular ejection fraction was higher in group GNT than in group N (P , 0.05). The maximum creatine kinase and total creatine kinase were lower ...

Context. Despite numerous publications showing rhythm disturbance and hypotension caused by mad-honey intoxication, none of the findings are associated with ischemic heart disease. Case details. A 48-year-old patient was admitted to emergency service with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction after ingestion of mad-honey. Stent was implanted to the 99% stenosis lesion in the mid-portion of left anterior descending coronary artery. In this case, pollen analysis showed the suspected honey heavily contaminated with Rhododendron species pollen. Discussion. Mad-honey intoxication cases often apply to emergency service with similar signs and symptoms of acute coronary syndrome; therefore it may cause acute coronary syndrome to be bypassed. This also shows that in the cases of mad-honey intoxication, suspected honey pollen and/or toxin analysis should be done to confirm the diagnosis of mad-honey intoxication. ...

The effect of sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG) on myocardial ischemic injury was evaluated in eleven patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction. Precordial 35-lead ST-segment maps were obtained in each patient immediately before and 3-10 minutes after 0.4 mg sublingual NTG. The following measurements were made from each ST map: N-ST (number of leads showing ST elevation greater than 1mm), sigmaST (total ST elevation in all leads), ST (average ST-segment elevation in those leads with less than 1mm elevation). Following 0.4 mg sublingual NTG evidence of myocardial ischemic injury as assessed by ST-segment mapping decreased in association with reduction of heart rate X systolic blood pressure product (10.80 X 10(3) to 9.49 X 10(3), P less than 0.001). Group mean values diminished significantly for N-ST (18.1 to 14.4, P less than 0.001), sigma ST (37.9 to 30.1 P less than 0.005) and ST (1.7 to 1.4, P less than 0.001).

A 72-year-old female was admitted to the CCU with a recent onset of progressive breathlessness for bedside pericardial drainage for chronic pericardial effusion. After an uncomplicated drainage procedure, initially a serous straw coloured fluid was aspired with subsequent hemorrhagic aspiration with haemoglobin value similar to the peripheral blood. The patient showed initially transient improvement followed by rapid deterioration into severe shock and death. Signs of infero-posterior myocardial infarction (MI) were seen on the ECG. Before death, further interventions were refused by her and her family but a permission was given for autopsy. At autopsy, right ventricular rupture was seen with a 0.6 cm tear with a large amount of 800 cc bloody fluid with clots. The result of histopathologic study of the tear was resembling three-days old MI. The drain was found to be properly localized in the pericardial space, was not blocked and caused no harm to the myocardium. Furthermore, histopathologic examination

This is named for obvious reasons. The J point is elevated and, along with the T wave, and it looks like a tombstone. In an anterior MI that shows tombstoning, there is frequently 4 to 6 millimeter of ST segment elevation. Do not confuse the ST segment elevation with the T wave. Look specifically where the ST segment is - waaaaay up from the baseline. Recall that the J point is where we need to measure the elevation from baseline, and the baseline is always the TP segment (between the T wave and the P wave).. ...

In describing the pseudo-sci-fi dystopian anti-Heimat film I Love You, I Kill You (1971) aka Ich liebe dich, ich töte dich directed by unfortunately forgotten German New Cinema auteur Uwe Brandner (Blinker, 50/50 aka Halbe-Halbe), Austrian-born Jewish-American cineaste Amos Vogel wrote in his magnum opus Film as a Subversive Art (1974), Through stylized acting, mysterious silences, disrupted sentences and frozen action, an atmosphere of alienation and stagnation permeates what the director ironically calls a picture-book story of our Vaterland -- a vicious satire of the sentimental German Heimat films of the past. Personally, I think Vogel is at least half-wrong and merely spurred by his hatred of Teutons and the fact he was forced to flee Austria as a teenager due to Uncle Adolfs Anschluß in 1938, as I Love You, I Kill You is less a satire than a conspicuously culturally pessimistic depiction of the Fatherlands deluge as a result of the Second World War as directed by a filmmaker who, ...
