Beneficial effects of C1 esterase inhibitor in ST-elevation myocardial infarction in patients who underwentsurgical reperfusion: a randomized double-…
2007
Background: The inflammatory cascade has been hypothesized to be an important mechanism of post-ischaemic myocardial reperfusion injury and several studies demonstrated that C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 -INH) is effective in post-ischaemia myocardial protection. Therefore, we aimed to investigate prospectively in a randomised double-blind study the cardioprotective effects of C1-INH in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients who underwent emergent reperfusion with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: In this study, we enrolled 80 patients affected with STEMI who underwent emergent CABG. Patients were assigned in two groups (C1-INH group: receive 1000 Ul of C1…
0139 : Extrahospital troponin measurement before admission for a ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
2016
International audience; Background and aimEarly and reliable triage of patients is of major importance to promote rapid and appropriate treatments of patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Extrahospital troponin measurement is used in primary care setting to help the identification of patients with suspected MI. From a regional survey (RICO), we aimed to investigate the frequence and hospital prognosis of STEMI patients with prehospital troponin (PT) measurement.Methods and resultsProspective study on 799 consecutive patients with STEMI included in RICO from March 2013 – 31 may 2015. Among the 799 patients, 38(5%) were identified with PT, from source files and pat…
