Among patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), elevated white blood cell (WBC) count at baseline is a powerful independent predictor of infarct size as measured by ...

On the morning of the surgery, an EKG showed sinus rhythm with 1st-degree atrioventricular (AV) block and a possible anterior myocardial infarction, or heart attack.

SAN DIEGO, CA— In first-time STEMI patients undergoing PCI after a proximal or mid LAD occlusion, the administration of a novel mitochondrial targeting peptide failed to reduce infarct size, according ...

More than 20% of patients with a large-vessel ischemic stroke and a large-core infarct at early imaging were functionally independent 90 days after thrombectomy in a large registry study.

Axial CT scans. Note the subacute ischemic infarction in the distribution of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA). This type of infarction occurs when the clot is ...

These are all in the watershed distribution between the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA). The area between two vascular territories is known as a watershed. Watershed ...

No difference in infarct size was observed between treated and placebo groups in overall STEMI patients undergoing PCI. Subset finds high-dose caldaret in TIMI 0/1 patients with anterior MI ...

Early routine use of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) prior to reperfusion by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) does not reduce infarct size in patients with high-risk anterior ...
