Objective To investigate the no reflow risk factors after percutaneous coronary intervention in
ST elevation myocardial infarction patients. Method Sample size, mean±standard deviation …

Aims Thrombectomy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated to better myocardial reperfusion …

Objectives: We investigated the association between hyperglycemia and the no-reflow
phenomenon in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Background: Hyperglycemia …

Objectives: We sought to determine the prognostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) for
angiographic reperfusion and six-month mortality in patients with acute ST-segment …

Background: Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A
direct effect of isolated obesity on cardiac function is not well established. Objective: To …

Magnesium (Mg) deficiency commonly occurs in critical illness and correlates with a higher
mortality and worse clinical outcome in the intensive care unit (ICU). Magnesium has been …

Aims Lack of gadolinium-contrast wash-in on first-pass perfusion imaging, early gadolinium-
enhanced imaging, or late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance …

Both animal models of experimental myocardial infarction and clinical studies on reperfusion
therapy for acute myocardial infarction have provided evidence of impaired tissue perfusion …

Aims Early and late microvascular obstruction (MO) assessed by magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) are prognostic markers for combined clinical endpoints after ST-elevation …

A series of brief (a few minutes) ischemia/reperfusion cycles (ischemic preconditioning, IP)
limits myocardial injury produced by a subsequent prolonged period of coronary artery …
