Abstract

There are several new strategies proposed to improve the outcome of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). One approach is the resurgent use of facilitated percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Until recently, deciding whether immediate PCI after combined treatment (facilitated PCI) is more appropriate than delayed PCI (short time) has not been investigated. The aim of this study, therefore, was to investigate the outcomes in patients initially successfully treated pharmacologically and immediate PCI < 2 hr, and in patients initially successfully treated with pharmacological therapy and with delayed PCI (12-72 h). 451 reperfused STEMI patients, aged 18 to 75 years, class I-II Killip, with an acceptable echocardiographic window and admitted within 12 hs of the onset of symptoms were randomized into two groups. All patients had to have successful reperfusion, to receive the combination of a standard tirofiban infusion or abciximab plus half dose rtPA. Thereafter, patients were sub-grouped as follows:group 1 (immediate PCI) patients had PCI within 2 h; and group 2 (delayed PCI) patients in which PCI was performed after 12 hs and within 72 hs. The 225 reperfused (immediate-PCI) and 226 reperfused (delayed-PC...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
