02/01/1999 - "Furthermore, no MRI findings were distinct predictors of long-term prognosis, although infarction based on the small vessel disease had rather good outcome in terms of respiratory disease."
09/01/1997 - "The impact of these changes on infarct healing and their association with the improved prognosis of a patent infarct vessel following infarction will require further study."
01/01/2005 - "Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups with a mean lesion length of 34.89+/-11.19 mm, and vessel diameter of 3.03+/-0.54 mm. CBA resulted in reduced incidence of side branch loss (23.2% versus 41.7%, P=0.022) which was associated with less peri-procedural infarction (OR: 11.39 (95% CI: 1.34-96.53), P=0.026). "

02/01/1995 - "Completed clinical trials lead to the following conclusions: 1. The efficacy of heparin in the acute phase of CVA is unknown, given the many biases and methodological imprecisions contained in the studies performed so far, among them a reliance on temporal rather than etiological classification of infarctions and the small number of patients treated. "
01/01/1988 - "These observations suggest that additional controlled studies of the efficacy of heparin in progressing ischemic infarction are warranted."
10/01/2014 - "Four (40%) had infarctions on ASA; 3 of these patients subsequently received heparin. "
10/01/2014 - "Six cases were treated with heparin after either initial or recurrent infarction. "

06/27/1983 - "Preliminary studies in patients with acute infarction have confirmed the beneficial effect of intravenous nitroglycerin on S-T segment elevation, and a subsequent study in 31 patients with acute infarction showed a decrease in infarct size with improved hemodynamics. "
04/01/1988 - "Thus, reduced expansion and thinning with nitroglycerin during the first week after infarction improved function, mechanical strength, and resistance to distension at 6 weeks."

04/01/1981 - "Within 24 hours, central chord shortening in the zone of infarction was reduced to 13.1 +/- 9.8%, but improved 27.2 +/- 18.4% (p less than 0.001) after nitroglycerin. "

06/01/1986 - "Comparison of radionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction assessed acutely (28 +/- 10 hours after infarction) with left ventricular ejection fraction at hospital discharge (15 +/- 3 days after infarction) showed no significant improvement in either the streptokinase or control group, 0% and +1%, respectively. "
02/01/1992 - "The streptokinase-induced reduction in blood viscosity may lead to an improvement in microcirculation in the infarction area during the early phase, whereas the hyperviscosity observed independently of therapy after 1 week may lead to an impairment of microcirculation."

"
12/01/1992 - "This provides a possible mechanism for the beneficial effect of ACE inhibitors in postmyocardial infarction trials. "
11/01/1992 - "The Survival and Ventricular Enlargement study (SAVE) has been the first to demonstrate the relationship between limitation of ventricular remodelling and improvement of the secondary prognosis of infarction obtained by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors."

08/01/2005 - "At follow-up, younger patients who received surgery had significantly better outcome with mean BI of 75.42 and Rankin score of 3.00; however, none of the elderly survivors had a BI score above 60 or a Rankin score below 4. Decompressive craniectomy in younger patients with malignant MCA territory infarction improves both survival rates and functional outcomes. "
09/01/2001 - "Even though patients in this study were elderly, decompressive craniectomy reduced mortality and improved functional performance, so it seems that this surgery should be aggressively considered for massive infarction of MCA territory."
