Ischaemia-reperfusion time differences in ST-elevation myocardial infarction in very young patients: a cohort study

Open Heart

Introduction ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most prevalent presentations in young patients. Methods A retrospective, multicentre cohort study was carried out in 6799 patients diagnosed with STEMI. to 1.54) (p<0.042).

Narrative review: updates and strategies for reducing door-to-balloon time in ST-elevation myocardial infarction care

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

This narrative review aims to evaluate strategies for reducing door-to-balloon (D2B) time in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, focusing on pre-hospital, in-hospital, and technological innovations, as well as addressing challenges to ensure sustainability.

Enhancing microcirculation in STEMI patients: can intracoronary thrombolysis combined with thrombus aspiration provide an optimal strategy?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical cardiovascular emergency characterized by acute coronary artery occlusion and subsequent myocardial injury. The current standard of care is primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), which aims to rapidly restore epicardial blood flow.

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

A 60 yo with 2 previous inferior (RCA) STEMIs, stented, called 911 for one hour of chest pain. Here is his most recent previous ECG: This was recorded after intervention for inferior STEMI (with massive ST Elevation, see below), and shows inferior Q-waves with T-wave inversion typical of completed inferior OMI. ng/mL (quite large).
