Objective Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is of great importance during non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) management. Methods Patients >80 years of age who underwent CA at index NSTEMI during 2011–2014 were included. –7.6) and HR 4.5 (1.6–12.5).

Or is it a very tight stenosis that does not allow enough flow to perfuse myocardium that has a high oxygen demand from severely elevated BP? Diagnosis of Type I vs. Type II Myocardial Infarction in Emergency Department patients with Ischemic Symptoms (abstract 102). Annals of Emergency Medicine 2011; Suppl 58(4): S211.

Background:Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is highly prevalent in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Exposure of interest was PVD. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality.

A transthoracic echocardiogram showed an LV EF of less than 15%, critically severe aortic stenosis , severe LVH , and a small LV cavity. The aortic valve in this example also had critical stenosis by Doppler The patient continued to be hemodynamically unstable with poor cardiac output and very high LV filling pressures.

Angiography : LMCA — 90-99% osteal stenosis. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. Troponin T peaked at 38,398 ng/L ( = a very large myocardial infarction, but not massive-- thanks to the pre-PCI spontaneous reperfusion, and rapid internvention!! ).
