Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) has been used in the assessment of myocardial viability. Myocardial segments with normal perfusion and those with patchy perfusion are considered to be viable.
Echocardiographic assessment of myocardial viability Echocardiographic assessment of myocardial viability: Diastolic wall thickness will give an idea regarding the myocardial viability. Thin and hyperdense myocardium is likely to
Myocardial viability assessment: The term viable myocardium is applied to myocardium with a potentially reversible contractile dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease. It can be divided into stunned
Recommended door in – door out time in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting to non-PCI center: < 30 minutes < 60 minutes < 90 minutes < 120
The recommendation is that supplemental oxygen is indicated only if the oxygen saturation (SaO2 or SPO2) is less than 90% or partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is less
Various pathophysiological mechanisms have been associated with myocardial infarction with non obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). It could be secondary to disorders in the epicardial coronary arteries like rupture
Myocardial infarction with non obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) had a prevalence of 6% among myocardial infarctions noted in a recent systematic review. They are more likely to be
Short run of ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation: Underlying rhythm is atrial fibrillation as there are no P waves and it is an irregular rhythm. Short run of wide
PRECISE-DAPT score PRECISE-DAPT score is a simple 5 item score using age, creatinine clearance, haemoglobin, white-blood-cell count, and previous spontaneous bleeding. It is used to predict out of
