The conventional classification of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) into ST-segment elevation (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) has long guided clinical decision-making. However, emerging ...
Medical Management/Treatment Initial treatment for suspected STEMI and NSTEMI requires a loading dose of nonenteric coated ASA at 162 to 325 mg (unless contraindicated), nitroglycerin in response to ...
Complete rather than culprit-only revascularization appears to pay off long-term for patients with multivessel disease presenting with non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI), suggests an observational ...
An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that mines ECG data and alerts the primary PCI team to activate the cath lab can reduce STEMI patients’ arrival times by as much as 10 minutes, according to ...
A non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, also called an NSTEMI or a non-STEMI, is a type of heart attack. While it's often less damaging to your heart than a STEMI, it's still a serious ...
PARIS, France—Among patients with acute MI and occlusive disease on invasive angiography, those presenting without ST-segment elevation on the initial ECG fare worse than those with STEMI, researchers ...
In a recent study published in The Lancet Regional Health - Europe, a group of researchers identified subpopulations at heightened risk for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and ...
