Relation of Anti- to Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Ratios with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Santanu Biswas, Pradip K. Ghoshal, Sankar C. Mandal, Nripendranath Mandal
Korean J Intern Med. 2010;25(1):44-50. Published online February 26, 2010
Background/AimsAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of death. Inflammatory processes play an important role in atherosclerosis, which is intimately related to AMI. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflam..

A Case of Septic Shock and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Complicated by Acute Myocardial Infarction Following Amniocentesis
Kye Hun Kim, Myung Ho Jeong, Ik Joo Chung, Jeong Gwan Cho, Tae Bok Song, Jong Chun Park, Jung Chaee Kang
Korean J Intern Med. 2005;20(4):325-329. Published online December 31, 2005
Maternal septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) following amniocentesis is a relatively rare condition, and its incidence is only 0.03~0.19%. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with DIC is also rare. We report here on a 40-year-old female patient who had septic sh..

Delayed Ventricular Septal Rupture after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Ji Young Park, Seong Hoon Park, Ji Young Oh, In Je Kim, Yu Hyun Lee, Si Hoon Park, Ki Hwan Kwon
Korean J Intern Med. 2005;20(3):243-246. Published online September 30, 2005
In the era before reperfusion therapy, ventricular septal rupture complicated 1~3% of acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) usually 3-5 days after onset. Studies have reported a positive correlation between the incidence of septal perforation and total occlusion of the coronary arteries. A 70-year o..

Terminal QRS Complex Distortion on the Admission Electrocardiogram in Anterior Acute Myocardial Infarction and Association with Residual Flow and Infarct Size after Primary Angioplasty
Hyun Suk Yang, Cheol Whan Lee, Myeong-Ki Hong, Dae-Hyuk Moon, Young-Hak Kim, Sang-Gon Lee, Ki-Hoon Han, Jae-Joong Kim, Seong-Wook Park, Seung-Jung Park
Korean J Intern Med. 2005;20(1):21-25. Published online March 31, 2005
BackgroundTerminal QRS complex distortion on admission is a simple and reliable predictor of infarct size in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is uncertain, however, whether this reflects reduced myocardial perfusion of the infarct area and a larger area of t..

Korean J Intern Med. 2005;20(1):8-14. Published online March 31, 2005
BackgroundCardiogenic shock (CS) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) develops in 5~10% of patients and it is associated with high mortality. The aim of this study is to assess the predictive factors of mortality for patients with AMI and CS. Methods
