Interrelation between hypoxic liver injury and Killip classification in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionHypoxic liver injury (HLI) and Killip classification are poor prognostic factors in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Both initial and peak AST levels increased in accordance with Killip classification along with cardiac biomarkers.

A Tough ECG, But Learn From It!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Studies show that 30% of NonSTEMI have an occluded infarct artery at the time of angiography done 24 hours after presentation. These patients have worse outcomes: higher mortality, more CHF, higher biomarkers, and worse ejection fractions than the NonSTEMI patients with open arteries. This is because of subtle ECG findings.
