Correlation between admission blood glucose, fibrinogen, and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, whether immediate blood glucose and FIB levels affect coronary blood flow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear.ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between admission blood glucose (ABG), fibrinogen (FIB) and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).MethodsA

Correlation between baseline immature platelets fraction levels and peak troponin in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Introduction Elevated peak cardiac troponin levels have been linked with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We hypothesize that patients with higher IPF levels during AMI, will experience a more severe infarct, leading to elevated peak troponin levels.

The researchers analyzed 2000-2022 data from 3.5M in 2011-2022. Post-AFib myocardial infarction was the third most common at 12%, with MI rates falling from 13.7% Danish people who didn’t have AFib at baseline (45-95yrs, 48yr avg, 51.7% overall, increasing from 24.2% in 2000-2010 to 30.9% during the two periods.

Dynamic OMI ECG. Negative trops and negative angiogram does not rule out coronary ischemia or ACS.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Thus, it has recently become generally accepted that most plaque ruptures resulting in myocardial infarction occur in plaques that narrow the lumen diameter by 40% of the arterial cross section may be involved by plaque. This confirms that the pain was ischemia and is now resovled. The i nitial hs troponin I returned 75%.
