Streptokinase (Kabikinase, Streptase) Dilute two 750,000-unit vials of streptokinase with 5 ml of 5% dextrose in water. Gently swirl to dissolve. Add this dose of 1.5 million units to 150 mL of 5% dextrose in water. This should be infused over 60 minutes. Monitor for the first few hours for signs of anaphylaxis or allergic reaction. Infusion should be slowed if the blood pressure drops 25 mm Hg or terminated if asthmatic symptoms appear. Monitor prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and fibrinogen levels during therapy. Alteplase, recombinant (tPA Activase) Dilute two 50-mg vials with sterile water for injection provided in the package. Gently swirl to dissolve.

Related links Myocardial Infarction National Audit Project (MINAP) Prepared on behalf of the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease Introduction The Myocardial Infarction Audit Project (MINAP), is the response of the profession to the audit requirements of the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease. This project began in late 1998 when the Clinical Effectiveness and Evaluation Unit (CEEU) of the Royal College of Physicians of London, in collaboration with the British Cardiac Society, drew together a broadly based Working Group of cardiologists, nurses, managers and representatives of the Department of Health. The group set itself the task of developing a mechanism that would allow clinicians to examine the management of myocardial infarction within their hospitals in order to meet the standards specified by the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease. The Working Group established a core data set for acute myocardial infarction for monitoring standards of care which has subsequently been amended (see below) with definitions for terms that would allow the collection of comparable data across the country. Through our close collaboration with Central Cardiac Audit Database (CCAD) group we now have the means to collect and analyse data from acute trusts in order to provide online analyses of data. This can include hospital case fatality data.

56. Myocardial Infarction The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. Referto figure 70 for the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction. http://www.rjmatthewsmd.com/Definitions/myocardial_infarction.htm

This term refers to the death of a certain segment of the heart muscle (myocardium), usually the result of a focal complete blockage in one of the main coronary arteries or a branch thereof. The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. Refer to figure 70 for the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction. This event results in impaired contractility of the heart muscle within seconds, and is initially restricted to the affected segment. The myocardial ischemia or infarction begins in the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart) and spreads to the epicardium (the outer lining of the heart). Irreversible heart damage will occur if the blockage is complete for at least 15-20 minutes. Irreversible damage occurs maximally in the area at risk, and when the occlusion is maintained for 4-6 hours. Most of the damage occurs in the first 2-3 hours. Restoration of flow within the first 4-5 hours is associated with salvage of the heart muscle, but the salvage is greater if flow is restored in the first 1-2 hours. A major determinant of death and illness is the size of the infarct. Increasing the oxygen supply to the involved site of blockage by coronary reperfusion (angioplasty, figures

Test for the Flash Player Download Flash Player Background Despite considerable advances in diagnosis and management over the last three decades, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a major public health problem. In the United States nearly 1.5 million patients annually suffer from AMI. Although the acute mortality of AMI is decreasing in the U.S., the prevalence of ischemic cardiomyopathy is rapidly increasing due to an increased life expectancy, and the morbidity, mortality, and economic costs related to ischemic cardiomyopathy are steadily increasing. Almost all myocardial infarctions result from acute transbotic occlusion of pre-existing arteriosclerotic plagues of coronary arteries, which has been mimicked by ligation of the left coronary artery in a variety of animal models, including rats and mice. Myocardial infarction induces global changes in the ventricular architecture, a process called ventricular remodeling. The infarcted heart progressively dilates and accelerates the deterioration of ventricular dysfunction that eventually results in heart failure. As seen in other models of cardiac dysfunction, fetal-type genes, such as ANP and b -MHC genes, are activated (Weber, 1997). At 4 weeks after MI, collagen types I and III and cytokine gene expression increases (Yue et al., 1998). These genes serve as positive control marker genes in systematically evaluating gene expression profiles associated with ventricular remodeling and heart failure after MI.
