Abstract:

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) results in the activation of the innate immune system with monocytes playing critical roles in both the initial inflammation following myocardial ischaemia and subsequent recovery. Monocytes are a heterogeneous cell population and observations from experimental models demonstrate that immediately following myocardial injury, classical inflammatory monocytes, which are highly phagocytic, are recruited to ischaemic myocardium from the bone marrow and spleen and peak at 48 hours. This is followed by the recruitment of non-classical monocytes that are involved in

Abstract:

This study was designed to discover the coping behaviours used by patients six to twelve months following a myocardial infarction (MI). The conceptualization of coping behaviours was based on the UBC Model for Nursing which directed the researcher to examine coping behaviours used to meet the patients' basic human needs. The specific research question was, "What new or already established coping behaviours have patients utilized after an MI in an attempt to satisfy their basic human needs?" Seven participants who had experienced an MI six to twelve months previously, were recruited from car

Abstract:

Although previous research has pointed to worry as one of the highest causal attributions reported by MI patients, no studies have primarily investigated the concept of worry in this cohort. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of pathological worry in MI patients who reported worry as a causal factor to their MI (Experimental group), compared to MI patients that did not implicate worry as a causal attribute (Control group). A central hypothesis to this study was that higher pathological worry would be found in the Experimental group, and would be significantly associated with meta-wor

Abstract:

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single biggest cause of death in the United Kingdom1. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (primary PCI) has transformed the early treatment of acute myocardial infarction (MI), improving outcome by rapidly re-opening the occluded coronary artery, with a larger mortality benefit and reduced risk compared with thrombolysis. Despite these advances, and even with the optimal treatment, some patients still sustain substantial myocardial damage leading to mortality and morbidity. MicroRNAs (miRs) are short non-coding RNAs with a role in regulating protein s

In order to identify patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) and at a higher risk of future cardiac events after uncomplicated myocardial infarction, 105 consecutive patients were studied prospectively. There were 93 men and 12 women with a mean age of 56 +/- 8.2 years. Treadmill testing, exercise radionuclide ventriculography, thallium-201 myocardial imaging and selective coronary arteriography were performed 6-8 weeks after infarction. Patients were grouped into those who had single and multiple vessel disease. Multiple regression analysis of 18 noninvasive indices was carried out

The aim of this thesis was to determine if the neutrophil played a significant role in acute myocardial infarction in man. Firstly methods for isolating and radiolabelling neutrophils were developed. These, along with measurement of established markers of neutrophil activation and free radical activity were used to assess neutrophil involvement in myocardial infarction in man. The single-step isolation procedure developed provided a simple and easy means of isolating an essentially 'pure' preparation of cells with a minimum of 'handling'.

Unplanned readmissions to the hospital are a problem faced by most health care organizations in the United States; hospitals are penalized for such readmissions. The project site identified high readmission rates for patients who were discharged after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), making careful transition home a necessity for post-AMI patients. The focus of this quality improvement (QI) project was implementation of an early follow-up appointment of AMI patients following discharge. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of changing follow-up appointments for patie

Abstract Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common finding in the general population and is present in approximately one quarter of adults. The potential role of PFO in the pathogenesis of ischaemic brain infarction of unknown aetiology in young adults has been investigated during the past 15 years, and associations with other diseases have been proposed. The most plausible mechanism of stroke associated with PFO is paradoxical embolism, but there is uncertainty about this because a venous source of emboli is seldom identified. If the theory of venous emboli is relevant, prothrombotic states shou

Excerpt: Dr Meier and colleagues1 present intriguing data that individuals with a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were less likely than matched controls to have used tetracycline antibiotics or quinolones in the previous 3 years. The authors raise the possibility that organisms susceptible to these antibiotics may be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease. However, several methodological limitations lead to other possible explanations for the observed associations.
