  2. 1. ST-elevation myocardial infarction : studies of outcome in relation to fibrinolysis and ischemia monitoring with on-line vectorcardiography

    Author : Johan Nilsson; Ulf Näslund; Kurt Boman; Kristian Thygesen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Myocardial infarction; vectorcardiography; fibrinolysis; reperfusion; Medicin; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : The treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has undergone a tremendous development during the last decades, and the most important factor is probably the introduction of reperfusion therapy aimed at preventing or limiting the myocardial injury. It is of vital importance that patients with AMI are adequately monitored regarding the development of ECG changes during and after treatment to identify successful or failed reperfusion and to detect episodes of recurrent ischemia.

  4. 2. On Bundle Branch Block and Acute Myocardial Infarction

    Author : Gunnar Thor Gunnarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myocardial infarction; left bundle branch block; right bundle branch block; diagnosis; prognosis; continuous vectorcardiography;

    Abstract : Studies from the pre-thrombolytic era showed that patients with bundle branch block suffering acute myocardial infarction had worse prognosis compared to patients without bundle branch block. It seems that this difference still exists in the thrombolytic era, at least for short-term mortality. READ MORE

  5. 3. Secondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome : antiplatelet therapy and risk factor control

    Author : Robin Henriksson; Thomas Mooe; Fredrik Björklund; Stefan James; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute coronary syndrome; secondary prevention; myocardial infarction; ischemic stroke; antiplatelet therapy; risk factors; randomized controlled trial; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Background: One of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide is cardiovascular disease (CVD), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Despite improvements in medical treatment, management, and care over the years and the halving of mortality in recent decades, there is considerable room for improvement. READ MORE

  6. 4. Myocardial infarction - Risk stratification and evaluation of therapies

    Author : Axel Wester; Kardiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; percutaneous coronary intervention; cardiac arrest; elderly; anemia; bleeding;

    Abstract : Background. Myocardial infarction (MI) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, despite several advances in acute coronary care during the last decades. This thesis assessed different risk stratification tools and evaluated interventional and pharmacological treatment strategies in high-risk patients with MI. Methods. READ MORE

  7. 5. Determination of the role of oxygen in acute myocardial infarction

    Author : Robin Hofmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Myocardial infarction;

    Abstract : Background: Oxygen therapy has been used routinely in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for more than a hundred years. Even today, supplemental oxygen is widely recommended in guidelines and implemented in clinical practice, despite limited data supporting a beneficial clinical effect. READ MORE
