Diagnosis and treatment of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction after myocardial infarction.
2013
The increased survival after acute myocardial infarction induced an increase in heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Early detection and treatment of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction give the chance to improve outcomes and to reduce costs due to the management of patients with overt heart failure.

Reinfarction Related to PTCA-Induced Coronary Embolism after Successful Thrombolytic Therapy
1989
Coronary embolism originating from residual thrombotic material is one of the complications arising during acute percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in acute myocardial infarction. This case report describes a symptomatic embolization of the right posterolateral and right posterior descending branch during success-ful PTCA of a subtotal stenosis of the midright coronary artery after acute inferior myocardial infarction. Typical ECG signs of reinfarction were recorded. We succeeded in recanalizing these branches by superselective thrombolysis and angioplasty.
Echocardiography in myocardial infarction
1986
This paper discusses the usefulness of echocardiography in thrombolysis, its diagnostic value and drawbacks for therapy and the possibilities for follow-up studies. The diagnostic value is seen in the possibility of localizing and defining the extent of myocardial infarction, not only of the left but also of the right ventricle, and recognizing the complications of myocardial infarction as soon as possible 1, 2, 4.
Safety and efficacy of exercise testing with atropine in patients with recent uncomplicated ST elevation acute myocardial infarction
2012
Background: Exercise testing (ET) remains the most accessible and widely used technique for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and for the assessment of its severity. Failure to reach 85% of maximal predicted heart rate (MPHR) during exercise may render an ET nondiagnostic for ischemia detection in patients with recent uncomplicated ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). We sought to investigate the injection of atropine in patients who fail to achieve 85% of age-predicted heart rate during ET, defining its safety and efficacy to raise heart rate to adequate levels as well as to determine its effect on ET interpretation. Methods: Between January 2005 and December 2008…
The Multifaceted Interplay between Atrial Fibrillation and Myocardial Infarction: A Review
2021
International audience; This review was conducted to emphasize the complex interplay between atrial fibrillation (AF) and myocardial infraction (MI). In type 1 (T1) MI, AF is frequent and associated with excess mortality. Moreover, AF after hospital discharge for T1MI is not rare, suggesting the need to improve AF screening and to develop therapeutic strategies for AF recurrence. Additionally, AF is a common trigger for type 2 MI (T2MI), and recent data have shown that tachyarrhythmia or bradyarrhythmia could be a causal factor in, respectively, 13–47% or 2–7% of T2MI. In addition, AF is involved in T2MI pathogenesis as a result of severe anemia related to anticoagulants. AF is also an unde…
