Despite major advances in mechanical and pharmacological reperfusion strategies to
improve acute myocardial infarction (MI) injury, substantial mortality, morbidity, and …

Background The word'remodeling'was used for the first time in association with myocardial
ischemia in 1982 by Hockman and Buckey while addressing the replacement of necrotic …

Background: Preclinical studies have demonstrated that high mechanical index (MI)
impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer during an intravenous microbubble …

Background: Pre-clinical trials have demonstrated that, during intravenous microbubble
infusion, high mechanical index (HMI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) …

Left ventricular remodeling is an adaptive process initially developed in response to acute
myocardial infarction (AMI), but it ends up with negative adverse outcomes such as infarcted …

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the relationship between the degree of
microvascular dysfunction assessed by a dual-sensor guidewire (pressure and Doppler …

Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a major determinant of long‐term
prognosis after ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). STEMI patients with …

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of hyperglycemia in different age-groups of patients with
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 2,027 …

In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the mechanisms behind the increased
mortality related to glucose levels (GL) are poorly understood. The main purpose of this …

Background: Measures of global left ventricular (LV) systolic function have limitations for the
prediction of post-infarct LV remodeling (LVR). Therefore, we tested the association between …
