Angiographic Characteristics of Coronary Disease and Postresuscitation Electrocardiograms in Patients With Aborted Cardiac Arrest Outside a Hospital

Dec 16, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Angiographic Characteristics of Coronary Disease and Postresuscitation Electrocardiograms in Patients With Aborted Cardiac Arrest Outside a Hospital

Postresuscitation electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with aborted cardiac death may demonstrate ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ST-T changes, intraventricular conduction delay, or other nonspecific findings. In the present study, we compared…

A New Electrocardiographic Criterion to Differentiate Between Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction

Dec 16, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on A New Electrocardiographic Criterion to Differentiate Between Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction

Several studies have examined the ability of electrocardiography to differentiate between takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) and anterior wall acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AA-STEMI). In those studies, the magnitude of ST-segment…

ST-Segment Deviation in Lead aVR on Admission Is Not Associated With Left Ventricular Function at Predischarge in First Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction

Dec 16, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on ST-Segment Deviation in Lead aVR on Admission Is Not Associated With Left Ventricular Function at Predischarge in First Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction

Previous studies have shown that the analysis of ST-segment deviation in lead aVR on admission provides useful information on angiographic coronary anatomy and risk stratification in acute coronary syndromes. However,…
