Dobutamine -Induced Myocardial Ischemia and ST-Segment Elevation in Collateral-Dependent Myocardium

Dec 5, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Dobutamine -Induced Myocardial Ischemia and ST-Segment Elevation in Collateral-Dependent Myocardium

In patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, electrocardiographic (ECG) ST-segment elevation (STE) is frequently seen during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in leads overlying previous transmural left ventricular (LV) myocardial infarction….

Therapeutic Management Changes and Mortality Rates over 30 Years in Ventricular Septal Rupture Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction

Dec 5, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Therapeutic Management Changes and Mortality Rates over 30 Years in Ventricular Septal Rupture Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction

Recent studies have shown that the decrease in ventricular septal rupture (VSR) incidence after acute myocardial infarction is related to the improvement of reperfusion strategies. Our main objective was to…
