Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is estimated to occur in more than 500,000 people in the US every year. With the introduction of reperfusion therapy by fibrinolysis or primary ...
Increased QRS voltage and ST-T changes are diagnostic of LVH. A QS pattern with 2-mm ST-segment elevation in V1-3 may suggest acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the ST-segment is concave. AMI ...
Across 21 European countries, higher GDP per capita was tied to better acute MI survival on a population level—not so for ...
Prehospital pulse-dose glucocorticoid treatment in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) does not reduce the final infarct size at 3 months but may improve acute outcomes ...
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly used in the treatment of infarct-related cardiogenic shock despite a lack of evidence regarding its effect on mortality. In this multicenter trial, ...
The elderly account for the majority of medical spending in many countries, raising concerns about potentially unnecessary spending, especially during the final months of life. Using a well-defined ...

There is evidence that chronic inflammation may promote atherosclerotic disease. We tested the hypothesis that acute infection and vaccination increase the short-term risk of vascular events. We ...
Acute renal infarction is a rare, yet potentially devastating condition marked by the sudden interruption of blood supply to the renal parenchyma, often resulting in irreversible tissue damage.
