Download or read book STEMI vs FEMI written by Henry K. Siu and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's Note: Products purchased from 3rd Party sellers are not guaranteed by the Publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product. For patients presenting with chest discomfort or other suspicious cardiac symptoms, distinguishing between ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and “fake ST elevation MI” (“FEMI”) is of utmost importance. Although efficient and accurate ECG interpretation is vital, it is often difficult in nuanced clinical situations that contribute to diagnostic uncertainty. Now you can sharpen your clinical skills in this critical area with a unique resource that offers real-world practice in identifying actual STEMI events vs. FEMI.
Download or read book The ECG in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Unstable Angina written by Hein J.J. Wellens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the most accessible and inexpensive diagnostic tool to evaluate the patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia. It plays a crucial role in decision making about the aggressiveness of therapy especially in relation to reperfusion therapy, because such therapy has resulted in a considerable reduction in mortality from acute myocardial infarction. Several factors play a role in the amount of myocardial tissue that can be salvaged by reperfusion therapy, such as the time interval between onset of coronary occlusion and reperfusion, site and size of the jeopardized area, type of reperfusion attempt (thrombolytic agent or an intracoronary catheter intervention), presence or absence of risk factors for thrombolytic agents, etc. Most important in decision making on reperfusion therapy and the type of intervention is to look for markers indicating a higher mortality rate from myocardial infarction. The ECG is a reliable, inexpensive, non-invasive instrument to obtain that information. Recently it has become clear that both in anterior and inferior myocardial infarction, the ECG frequently allows not only to identify the infarct related coronary artery, but also the site of occlusion in that artery and therefore the size of the jeopardized area. Obviously, the more proximal the occlusion, the larger the area at risk and the more aggressive the reperfusion attempt.

Download or read book Primary Angioplasty written by Timothy J Watson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This quick-reference handbook offers a concise and practical review of key aspects of the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). In the context of STEMI, PPCI is the preferred mode of emergency revascularization. Access to PPCI is rapidly increasing and is now routinely practiced in both general and specialist hospitals and there has been a recent emphasis on developing STEMI networks to enhance and expedite the referral pathway. This coupled with concurrent developments to enhance the safety and efficacy of the PPCI procedure has heralded an era where STEMI interventions are increasingly considered an important subspecialty within interventional cardiology. Written by leading cardiologists who have been instrumental in the adoption of PPCI in their respective institutions, the book provides junior and senior cardiologists alike with insightful and thought-provoking tips and tricks to enhance the success of PPCI procedures, which may in turn translate into direct improvements in outcomes. The book is also relevant for healthcare providers and emergency department physicians.

Download or read book Nuclear Cardiology written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear cardiology is one of the most widely used non-invasive techniques for the assessment of coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular conditions. It has proved to be a cost effective tool for the evaluation and management of cardiac patients and usually has a decisive role for diagnosis, prognosis and risk stratification. In particular, radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is used extensively worldwide for the evaluation of known or suspected coronary artery disease, with an estimated 15-20 million procedures performed annually. This publication provides a detailed analysis of all the steps involved in the delivery of nuclear cardiology services, from referrals to reporting, and is intended to serve as guidance for the implementation, homogenization and enhancement of MPI practice in those Member States where the technique is under development.
Download or read book Methods for Processing and Visualising Body Surface Potential Maps written by Raymond Robert Bond and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely used diagnostic tool for assessing cardiac activity. Although its electrode configuration has been standardised since 1942, the number of electrodes and each of their anatomical positions are 'sub- optimal' in detecting cardiac pathologies such as Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). The Body Surface Potential Map (BSPM) is an alternative ECG technique that captures more cardiac information and has a higher sensitivity in detecting certain cardiac abnormalities. The BSPM, however, has not yet been accepted for routine clinical practice partly due to a lack of clinician-friendly tools for managing and visualising BSPM data. Following a review of ECG storage techniques, this Thesis presents an interoperable BSPM storage format that supports all BSPM variants. In a similar fashion, following a review of electrocardiographic visualisation, an intuitive Web-based BSPM visualisation system that exhibits a number of novel interactive features is presented in Chapter 5. Following this work, a number of peripheral studies were completed and presented in Chapter 6. This includes an advanced 12-lead ECG viewer. This viewer includes a visualisation feature for transforming the 12-lead ECG into an estimated BSPM. A knowledge representation framework called ecgRuleML was also designed. The ecgRuleML framework can be used to store, define and share rules that comprise diagnostic ECG criteria. Given the syntax of ecgRuleML is both human and machine- readable, it promotes the interoperability of ECG criteria amongst clinicians and heterogeneous ECG machines. Finally, a simulation tool called the Electrode Misplacement Simulator (EMS) was developed and described in Chapter 6. The EMS uses BSPM data to simulate the effects of electrode misplacement when recording a 12-lead ECG. The utility of the EMS for educating clinical physiologists was evaluated in a cross-sectional classroom study (refer to Chapter 7). Both the BSPM viewer and the EMS also underwent a usability evaluation. The closing Chapter outlines each hypothesis and provides a summary of contributions. The publications made during this PhD program have been listed in Appendix A.
