Short-term diabetes attenuates left ventricular dysfunction and mortality rates after myocardial infarction in rodents
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2011)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of hyperglycemia on left ventricular dysfunction, morphometry, myocardial infarction area, hemodynamic parameters, oxidative stress profile, and mortality rate in rats that had undergone ...
Periostin as a modulator of chronic cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction
(Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Faculdade de Medicina, 2013-10-01)
OBJECTIVE: After acute myocardial infarction, during the cardiac repair phase, periostin is released into the infarct and activates signaling pathways that are essential for the reparative process. However, the role of ...
Infarct Size as Predictor of Systolic Functional Recovery after Myocardial Infarction
(Arquivos Brasileiros Cardiologia, 2014-06-01)
Background: The effects of modern therapy on functional recovery after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are unknown.Objectives: To evaluate the predictors of systolic functional recovery after anterior AMI in patients ...
Performance of two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography for the assessment of infarct size and left ventricular function in rats
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2006-05-01)
Although echocardiography has been used in rats, few studies have determined its efficacy for estimating myocardial infarct size. Our objective was to estimate the myocardial infarct size, and to evaluate anatomic and ...
Echocardiographic predictors of ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in rats
(2011-12-01)
Background: The prediction of the ventricular remodeling process after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may have important clinical implications. Objetive: To analyze echocardiographic variables predictors of remodeling ...
Effects of lisinopril on experimental ischemia in rats. Influence of infarct size
(Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia (SBC), 1999-10-01)
OBJECTIVE - Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have gained importance in preventing or attenuating the process of ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. The significance of infarct size in regard ...
ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction in the elderly
(SCIENCE PRESSBEIJING, 2012)
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are the leading causes of death in the elderly. The suspicion and diagnosis of ACS in this age group is more difficult, since typical angina is less frequent. The morbidity and mortality is ...
Clinical Profile, Predictors of Mortality, and Treatment of Patients after Myocardial Infarction, in an Academic Medical Center Hospital
(Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia (SBC), 2002-04-01)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate clinical profiles, predictors of 30-day mortality, and the adherence to international recommendations for the treatment of myocardial infarction in an academic medical center hospital. METHODS: We ...
