“…Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a heart disease, whose pathogenesis is that persistent myocardial ischemia and hypoxia are caused by interruption or decline in coronary blood flow due to various factors based on the coronary artery disease, ultimately leading to myocardial cell necrosis, usually accompanied by such clinical complications as cardiac insufficiency and heart failure [1] [2] . With the intensification of population aging in China in recent years, the morbidity rate of AMI has increased year by year, making AMI one of the common diseases causing death and affecting the quality of life [3] .…”

Background: To explore the associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and prealbumin (PAB) with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: A total of 39 MI patients treated in the Cardiology were selected as the observation group, and another 41 patients with normal results of coronary angiography during the same period were selected as the control group. The general data of patients were recorded in detail, the content of serum hs-CRP and PAB in the peripheral blood was detected, and the number of diseased coronary vessels and the degree of stenosis were detected via coronary angiography. Results: Compared with those in control group, the blood pressure and heart rate significantly rose, the content of indexes related to the severity of MI were significantly increased, the content of hs-CRP was significantly increased, and the content of PAB was significantly decreased in observation group. Hs-CRP was positively correlated with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients, but PAB was negatively correlated with the above factors. The survival rate of MI patients with high content of hs-CRP was obviously lower than that of patients with low content of hs-CRP. Conclusion: Serum hs-CRP and PAB are closely associated with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in MI patients.

“…Bhuller et al have reported a case of penetrating chest injury which damaged the lung (remedied by wedge resection), however as the patient came out of OR, developed an Acute STEMI of inferolateral wall, due to a thrombus necessitating angiography and thrombus extraction. 2 These injuries can cause rupture/laceration of the lungs resulting in pneumothorax, pleural effusion and collapse. The heart may also be involved in such traumatic events, resulting in laceration or tearing of the myocardium, septal defects, free wall rupture or pericardial effusion (leading to tamponade).…”

Acute Myocardial Infarction Due to Knife Injury – A Case Report

Acute Myocardial Infarction is usually a sequela of atherosclerotic process but can result from some rare causes as well. Trauma to the chest wall either blunt or penetrating can cause such a mishap. Case of a young man is described who sustained STEMI due to severing of Left anterior descending coronary artery by a penetrating knife injury, stabbed on the left side of the chest during a scuffle with bandits. Being resident of a remote area of a very poor neighboring country, the victim couldn’t get the medical care needed and after wandering in various hospitals he reported at my clinic in congestive heart failure. Previous record showed antero-apical wall MI with Pericardial effusion. Thorough workup for elaboration of all the injuries and complications was instituted and the patient was discharged in NYHA functional class I.

Acute myocardial infarction following penetrating thoracic trauma: A case report and review of literature

Abstract: HighlightsAMI as a result of penetrating thoracic trauma is rare, but can occur secondary to an acute thrombus, even in the absence of a direct cardiac injury.Regardless of the cause of AMI, medical management should follow current guidelines.
