2. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

   Reperfusion therapy is a medical treatment to restore blood flow, either through or around, blocked arteries, typically after a heart attack (myocardial infarction (MI)). Reperfusion therapy includes drugs and surgery. The drugs are thrombolytics and fibrinolytics used in a process called thrombolysis.

3. Management of acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_acute...

   Antiarrhythmic agents are typically only given to individuals with life-threatening arrhythmias after a myocardial infarction and not to suppress the ventricular ectopy that is often seen after a myocardial infarction. [57] [58] [59] Cardiac rehabilitation aims to optimize function and quality of life in those affected by a heart disease. This ...

4. Acute cardiac unloading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_cardiac_unloading

   When the heart is damaged by a myocardial infarction a portion of muscle is permanently lost. The heart has a limited innate ability to replace dead muscle with new, functional muscle. [6] The dead heart muscle is replaced by non-contractile fibrotic tissue, forming the myocardial scar. Scar tissue does not contract, and it does not help the ...

5. Reperfusion injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_injury

   Reperfusion injury, sometimes called ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) or reoxygenation injury, is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to tissue (re-+ perfusion) after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen (anoxia or hypoxia).

6. Post-cardiac arrest syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Cardiac_Arrest_Syndrome

   PCAS myocardial dysfunction seems to start almost immediately after ROSC. [9] Unlike brain tissue, evidence suggests that the myocardial injury is generally transient and can mostly recover within 72 hours, [10] though full recovery may take months. [11]

7. Myocardial stunning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_stunning

   Myocardial stunning or transient post-ischemic myocardial dysfunction is a state of mechanical cardiac dysfunction that can occur in a portion of myocardium without necrosis after a brief interruption in perfusion, despite the timely restoration of normal coronary blood flow.

8. Coronary stent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent

   The SYNTAX Trial [34] is a manufacturer-funded trial with a primary endpoint of death, cardiovascular events, and myocardial infarction, and also the need for repeat vascularization, in patients with blocked or narrowed arteries. Patients were randomized to either CABG surgery or a drug-eluting stent (the Boston Scientific TAXUS paclitaxel ...

9. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   2018 results of the TIME trial, which used a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial design, concluded that "bone marrow mononuclear cells administration did not improve recovery of LV function over 2 years" in people who had a myocardial infarction. [75]
