Early coronary reperfusion for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is critical for the preservation of overall left ventricular (LV) function and improved survival. Despite advancements ...

If primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed promptly, the procedure is superior to fibrinolysis in restoring flow to the infarct-related artery in patients with ST-segment ...

Because lethal ventricular arrhythmias may develop abruptly in patients with STEMI, the ACC/AHA guidelines suggest all patients be monitored with electrocardiography (ECG) on arrival in the emergency ...

These 12-lead ECG recordings of eight patients show precordial ST-segment depression at the J point followed by peaked, positive T waves. In addition, lead aVR shows slight ST-segment elevation in ...

Some clinicians say that testing for occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) instead might be a better tool for making that determination. “We think we should get rid of the term ST-elevation MI, ...

An anterior myocardial infarction results from occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. This can cause an ST elevation myocardial infarction or a non-ST segment elevation myocardial ...

Researchers at University Medical Center Maastricht and international partners report that a single shot of the drug zalunfiban given at first medical contact for suspected ST-elevation myocardial ...
