acute myocardial infarction

BIC 8: Copetin associated with troponin can rule out acute myocardial infarction in the emergency room.

The acute chest pain is responsible for more than 11 % of queries to an emergency service . Only 10% of these patients really have an acute myocardial infarction. The standard protocol for managing these patients includes serial electrocardiogram, dosage of biomarkers and an observation time of 6-12 hours. This overloads the emergency services and<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/bic-8-copetin-associated-with-troponin-can-rule-out-acute-myocardial-infarction-in-the-emergency-room/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Prognostic Impact of SYNTAX and SYNTAX II Scores in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a clinically significant condition due to its association with morbidity and mortality after the initial event. Therefore, the prognostic stratification of these patients is of vital importance. One of the tools that have been used for several years for this purpose is the SYNTAX I (SS) and SYNTAX<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/09/25/prognostic-impact-of-syntax-and-syntax-ii-scores-in-patients-with-acute-myocardial-infarction/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Mitral Valve Edge to Edge Repair for Papillary Muscle Rupture after Acute Myocardial Infarction

With an approximate incidence of 0.05% to 0.25%, post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mitral valve failure caused by papillary muscle rupture is not exactly common. However, it is associated to high mortality rate, ranging between 36% and 80%. Current guidelines recommend surgical treatment, but more often than not surgery involves prohibitive or extremely high risk, with<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/07/14/mitral-valve-edge-to-edge-repair-for-papillary-muscle-rupture-after-acute-myocardial-infarction/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Association Between Radial Wall Strain (RWS) and Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Despite major advances in secondary prevention and reperfusion strategies, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) still causes morbidity and mortality. A significant portion of acute events arise from mild to moderate lesions identified months to years before the index event. Early detection of lesions at higher risk of progression and rupture may allow for more targeted treatment<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/06/09/association-between-radial-wall-strain-rws-and-risk-of-acute-myocardial-infarction/" title="Read more" >...</a>

BVS-STEMI-FIRST OCT study: Bioabsorbable platform in acute myocardial infarction

A bioabsorbable platform implant in the context of ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction is feasible although the subsequent cicatrization of the artery is not documented. The objective of this work was to evaluate optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients who received everolimus-releasing bioabsorbable platform in the context of primary angioplasty.

SMART: Manual Thrombectomy vs. Rheolytic Aspiration in ST-segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Dr. David Antoniucci presented the immediate results of randomized trial SMART SMART (n=80, 1:1) comparing manual thrombectomy (MAT) vs. rheolytic aspiration (RT) in the context of ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (&le;6 hours). In this study, primary outcome was residual thrombus burden after aspiration assessed with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Thrombus burden was defined as<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/smart-manual-thrombectomy-vs-rheolytic-aspiration-in-st-segment-elevation-acute-myocardial-infarction/" title="Read more" >...</a>
