BACKGROUND: Anatomic complete revascularization (ACR) and functional complete revascularization (FCR) have been associated with reduced death and myocardial infarction (MI) in some prior studies. (bvsalud.org)
Background The purpose of this study was to use the findings of a fibrinolysis and subsequent transluminal trial (FAST-3) to evaluate the association between the target time for obtaining a thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI)-3 flow after arrival at the emergency room with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the degree of myocardial salvage.

Herein, we report a case of WCA in right coronary artery (RCA) successfully managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after abnormal myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. (hindawi.com)
IVUS2
However, its clinical significance in heart transplantation remains unclear.METHODS: In 103 heart-transplant recipients, serial (baseline and 1-year post-transplant) volumetric intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analyses were performed in the first 50 mm of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery. (stanford.edu)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is thought to be an optical analog of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with 10 times higher resolution (10-15 m) and rapid pullback (2-3 cm/sec) with greater accuracy in the measurement compared with IVUS and angiography. (cardiologyonline.com)
Coronary artery2
The differential diagnosis should include recanalized thrombus, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and bridging collaterals [ 3 , 4 ]. (hindawi.com)
In multiple logistic regression analyses for independent predictors of myocardial damage, the adjusted odds ratios for myocardial damage (peak CK >3,000 U/L) in quartiles 3 and 4 of the D-T3-time were 4.0 (95% CI: 1.0-16.1) and 7.0 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4-36.0), respectively. (go.jp)
ACS encompasses three related but distinct clinical entities - unstable angina, non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI) , and ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI). (icrjournal.com)
Cardiac3
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the impact of myocardial bridging (MB) on early development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy and long-term graft survival after heart transplantation.BACKGROUND: MB has been reported to be associated with acceleration of proximal plaque development and endothelial dysfunction in native coronary atherosclerosis. (stanford.edu)
Troponin T and troponin I are specific cardiac markers for myocardial injury and diagnosing the myocardial necrosis. (icrjournal.com)
In this review, we focus on the role of cardiomyocyte-derived and cardiac fibroblast-derived microRNAs that are involved in the regulation of genes associated with cardiomyocyte and fibroblast function and in atherosclerosis-related cardiac ischemia. (archivesofmedicalscience.com)
Perfusion1
therefore thallium-myocardial perfusion scintigraphy was performed in order to assess ischemic burden of RCA territory. (hindawi.com)
STEMI1
The preclinical work focuses on animal models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is an experimental model for STEMI, as well as ex-vivo models of myocardial ischemia. (gu.se)
Hypertrophic1
Angina caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can also be aggravated. (medscape.com)
Prevalence1
Further studies are needed in middle aged and older individuals to more accurately characterize the prevalence, significance, and management of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier): NCT00542503 and was retrospectively registered on October 11th, 2007.

Fractional flow re1
Deeper bridges correlating with recurrent angina with an instantaneous wave-free ratio ≤0.89 or fractional flow reserve ≤0.80 are treated. (ecrjournal.com)

It represents a clinical condition characterised by rapidly developing critical myocardial ischaemia. (icrjournal.com)
Heart2
It decreases blood flow and leads to irreversible damage to the heart due to myocardial ischaemia. (icrjournal.com)
It is an echo test or heart ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart. (sakraworldhospital.com)
Development1
9 The theory that a decrease in compliance and an increase in fibrosis is associated with the discovery of a higher incidence of MB, is supported by other studies in which there was a higher incidence of MB in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the hallmark of which is the development of myocardial fibrosis.

RESULTS1
The results of this assessment of the delayed arrival compares favorably to the findings of radionuclide stress imaging, and stress induction of ischemia is not required to identify the zone at risk. (medscape.com)
Factors1

Patients1
Key diagnostic procedures for detection of patients with ACS are ECG at rest and markers of myocardial necrosis. (icrjournal.com)
Wall2
Inferior wall ischemia was detected which approximately refers to %14 of left ventricle. (hindawi.com)
Atherosclerotic plaques develop proximally in the bridge due to low shear stress and high oscillatory wall-flow. (ecrjournal.com)
Time1
Episodes of tachycardia can cause a dynamic obstruction that extends into diastole, compromising coronary filling time, and subsequently leading to ischaemia. (ecrjournal.com)

Acute myocardial2
A shorter form of this homepage is also published at http://www.infarctcombat.org/heartnews-17.html main page = http://www.infarctcombat.org , the homepage of a clinic in Sao Paulo which had excellent results with ouabain in acute myocardial infarction until ouabain was forbidden because of political, not medical causes. (twoday.net)
Newer technologies such as CT fractional flow reserve, CT angiography with perfusion, and whole-heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography with perfusion, which can provide both anatomic and functional information in the same test, obviate the need for multiple diagnostic tests to obtain a comprehensive assessment of both plaque burden and downstream ischemia.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In order to achieve early detection of myocardial ischemia and improve the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD), it is necessary to find a convenient, non-invasive and effective examination method. (bvsalud.org)
