Anterior-wall and non-anterior-wall STEMIs do not differ in long-term mortality: results from the augsburg myocardial infarction registry

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Different ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) localizations go along with dissimilarities in the size of the affected myocardium, the causing coronary vessel occlusion, and the right ventricular participation. years, (standard deviation: 3.0).

Trends in the incidence, mortality and clinical outcomes in patients with ventricular septal rupture following an ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Background Despite improvements in outcomes of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ventricular septal rupture (VSR) remains a known complication, carrying high mortality. Methods The National Inpatient Sample database (2009–2020) was used to study trends in admissions and outcomes of post-STEMI VSR over time. and 10 ± 1.2%

Rules of myocardial revascularisation REVIVEed very late: Quantify”non-viable tissue” first.

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

This same question was asked & answered more than a decade ago (2009) on this site, of course without that damning evidence. Common myths in cardiology: The presence of viable myocardium does not mean one must do a revascularisation procedure following myocardial infarction!

ECG Changes in Intracranial Hemorrhage

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

ECG changes resembling ST elevation myocardial infarction has also been described after traumatic intracranial hemorrhage [4]. Excess of catecholamines can damage myocytes directly and can also lead to generalized spasm of coronary arteries and even consequent actual myocardial infarction [5]. 2009 Nov;40(11):3478-84.

Early and late outcomes after minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass vs. full sternotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Patients and methods From December 2009 to June 2020, 388 elective patients were included in our retrospective study. IPTW-adjusted Kaplan–Meier estimates by study group were calculated for all-cause mortality, stroke, the risk of repeat revascularization and myocardial infarction up to a maximum follow-up of 10 years.

STEMI Breakthrough: Looking beyond Primary PCI with “Intra-coronary liquid oxygen”

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

tried this in 2009 itself.(Ref Effect of supersaturated oxygen delivery on infarct size after percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction. 2009 Oct;2(5):366-75. Hence current guidelines, has very strict advice about not giving oxygen unless systemic tissue hypoxia is documented. Stone et al.
