  2. 21. Echocardiography in myocardial infarction : aspects on diastolic function and evaluation by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

    Author : Martin G Sundqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Echocardiography is routinely used to evaluate patients with known or suspected myocardial infarction (MI). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) provides the ability to quantify myocardial infarction size (IS), and to establish an underlying diagnosis in MI cases with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA).

  4. 22. Risk assessment in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis

    Author : Bassem Abdel Samad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : echocardiography; exercise stress test; heart rate variability; Holter recording; low-dose dobutamine echocardiography; myocardial infarction; myocardial perfusion scintigraphy; myocardial viability; prognosis; thrombolysis.;

    Abstract : Risk stratification in patients with acute myocardial infarction is essential for guiding the clinical decision concerning management. Thrombolytic therapy and other new management policies have led to a significant reduction in mortality from myocardial infarction. READ MORE

  5. 23. Noninvasive evaluation of the effects of coronary artery bypass grafting on myocardial function

    Author : Anders Hedman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Coronary artery bypass grafting; C-reactive protein; dobutamine stress test; Doppler tissue imaging; echocardiography; exercise test; interleukin-6; myocardial peifusion scintigraphy.;

    Abstract : Coronary bypass grafting (CABG) is an effective treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and leads to an improvement in both cardiac symptoms and long-term survival. The effects of CA13G on global left ventricular systolic and diastolic function at rest and during stress, and the long-term effects on right ventricular function and their significance and relation to early graft occlusion and residual myocardial ischemia have however not been fully elucidated.

  6. 24. Unstable post-infarction ischemia : identification and risk stratification with special emphasis on noninvasive methods

    Author : Miguel Quintana; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; prognosis; exercise test; stress echocardiogaphy. ambulatoryelectrocardiography; heart rate variability.Stockholm 1996;

    Abstract : Although in-hospital mortality after acute myocardial infarction has decreased, long-term mortality is still high. This study tested the prognostic value of detecting residual myocardial ischemia by different techniques in 74 patients recovering from an acute myocardial infarction. READ MORE

  7. 25. On-line vectorcardiography in ischemic heart disease

    Author : Peter Lundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Vectorcardiography; ischemia monitoring; coronary artery disease; exercise test; echocardiography; dobutamine; unstable angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; prognosis.;

    Abstract : The clinical usefulness of continuous on-line vector cardiography (VCG) was assessed in 435 patients, admitted to the coronary care unit. The ability of 24-hour VCG monitoring to differentiate patients with or without ischemic heart disease (IHD), to provide long-term prognostic information and to predict results from a predischarge exercise test in patients with unstable angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction (MI) was evaluated.
