Myocardial ischemia has, for many decades, been viewed as an all-or-none process that
causes myocardial necrosis when prolonged and severe, but whose effects are transient …

T he differentiation of viable from nonviable myo-cardium in patients with coronary artery dis-
ease and left ventriculardysfunction is an issue of increasing clinical relevance in the current …

A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was undertaken to assess
survival after a single 30 unit intravenous dose of anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase …

Epidemiological studies indicate that hyperuricaemia is an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. Alongside uric acid formation, increased xanthine oxidase activity …

To characterize the functional and biochemical recovery of myocardium salvaged by
reperfusion, 19 anesthetized mongrel dogs underwent 2 hour occlusion of the proximal left …

Serial myocardial imaging with technetium-99m methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) has
been proposed for evaluating myocardial salvage after reperfusion. To define 99mTc-MIBI …

The mechanisms responsible for malignant ventricular arrhythmias associated with
reperfusion of ischemic myocardium were delineated with a computerized, three …

Since Herrick's description of the clinical picture of acute myocardial infarction exactly one
century ago (1912), there have been three phases of therapy: Phase 1 (1912–1961, bed rest …

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of acute hypercholesterolemia on the
evolution of myocardial infarction in a preparation of coronary occlusion-reperfusion. New …

Myocardial imaging with technetium-99m hexakis 2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile was
investigated as a means to assess myocardial infarct size during coronary occlusion and to …
