Myocardial bridge (MB) is characterised by focal compression of a coronary artery in systole an overlying band myocardium. Chronic and relaxation the MB may produce endothelial dysfunction direct stress.To determine whether alters function, thus influencing plaque formation.128 patients (mean (SD) age 54.7 (10.9) years, 56 men) with typical angiographic systolic milking effects >30% reduction diameter during after intracoronary nitrate (glyceryl trinitrate, 200 mug) infusion were studied....
Although soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) in serum is known to be associated with ischemic heart disease and failure, data regarding its prognostic impact ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) limited. We evaluated the impacts sST2 other biomarkers STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Consecutive all 323 that underwent PCI were enrolled. Blood tests samples obtained an emergency room. The endpoint was 1-year major adverse...
We investigated the predictors of recovery depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with moderate or severe (LV) systolic dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (MI).We analyzed 1307 patients, who had moderately severely LVEF (<45%) on echocardiography soon MI and underwent a follow-up echocardiography, among 27369 from Korea Working Group Myocardial Infarction Registry. Patients were categorized into two groups according to LVEF: group I consistently at II...
Aortic stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality. However, there are few studies about the predictive role of aortic stiffness. We investigated association between pulse-wave velocity (aPWV), using direct intra-arterial measurement future CV events, in patients with chest pain. was measured through aorto-femoral, fluid-filled system at baseline 1004 Among these patients, 497 (237 male) were enrolled study. examined tertiles. Tertiles defined as...
Risk stratification of the early repolarization pattern (ERP) is needed to identify malignant repolarization. J-point elevation with a horizontal ST segment was recently suggested as feature ERP. In this study, prevalence ERP examined among survivors sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) without structural heart disease evaluate value ST-segment morphology in risk ERP.We reviewed data 83 SCA who were admitted from August 2005 2010. Among them, 25 subjects included. The control group comprised 60...
Aortic stiffening contributes to the left ventricular (LV) afterload, hypertrophy, and substrate for diastolic dysfunction. It is also known that aortic elastic properties could be investigated with color tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in upper wall. The purpose of this study evaluate relation wall TDI stiffness other parameters LV function.We examined by at 3 cm above valves because patient's chest discomfort or dyspnea. We excluded patient arterial hypertension reduced ejection fraction...
The clinical outcome of patient with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or without achievement target low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), has little known information. This study investigated if LDL-C level (below 70 mg/dL) achievements in patients AMI showed better outcomes not.Between May 2008 and September 2012, this enrolled 13473 a large-scale, prospective, multicenter Korean Myocardial Infarction (KorMI) registry. 12720...
Background Elevated serum transaminase or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been proposed as a novel prognosticator for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We evaluated the combined prognostic impact of elevated transaminases and ALP on admission in STEMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total 1176 with undergoing PCI were retrospectively enrolled from INTERSTELLAR registry. Hypoxic liver injury (HLI) was defined > twice upper...
Protein C deficiency is typically associated with venous thromboembolism; however, arterial thrombosis has been reported in several cases. We report the case of a patient pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein following acute myocardial infarction high thrombus burden.
