Abstract

Patients with acute myocardial infarction might benefit from the addition of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors to fibrinolytic or mechanical reperfusion strategies. We compared two strategies, stenting and fibrinolysis, both combined with abciximab, in terms of their ability to salvage myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction. We enrolled 162 patients with acute myocardial infarction within 12 h of onset of symptoms, assigning 81 stenting plus abciximab and 81 alteplase plus abciximab. Technetium-99m sestamibi scintigraphy was done at admission and after a median of 11 days to calculate initial perfusion defect, final infarct size, and degree of myocardial salvage. The primary endpoint was the salvage index (the ratio of the degree of myocardial salvage to the initial perfusion defect). Major adverse clinical events within 6 months from randomisation were also compared between the two treatments. Paired scintigraphic measurements were available for 70 patients in the stent group and 71 in the alteplase group. Stenting was associated with greater myocardial salvage than alteplase (median 13.6% [IQR 5.9-23.9] vs 8.0% [2.5-16.0] of the left ventricle; p=0.007). Salvage index was greater in the stent group than in the...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.
