Acute myocardial infarction with or without ST-segment elevation (STEMI or non-STEMI) is a common cardiac emergency, with the potential for substantial morbidity and mortality. The management of acute ...

Prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy did not reduce mortality in patients with a prior myocardial infarction, persistent moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction and ...

An inferior myocardial infarction results from occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA). This can cause a ST elevation myocardial infarction or a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Routine intracoronary thrombus aspiration before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been proved to reduce ...

To test the protective effects of betaglucin, a novel beta-glucan, on models of myocardial infarction (MI) in rats and dogs. The left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion model was used ...

Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is one of the most serious heart problems people can face. It happens when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked.
