[Percutaneous revascularization of myocardium: extent, application and treatment strategy of acute coronary syndromes].

Unlabelled: The comparative value of different factors of reperfusion technique and strategy in restoring of myocardial function is underestimated. The aim of this study is to assess the value of reperfusion strategy for restoring of myocardial function in follow-up period.

Material And Methods: From 1999 to 2001, 4260 patients with acute coronary syndromes were analyzed.

[Results of percutaneous coronary angioplasty in patients with stable and unstable angina].

Percutaneous coronary angioplasty is very well known percutaneous revascularization procedure. Results of the percutaneous coronary angioplasty vary according to the stage of ischemic heart disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate and to compare the results of percutaneous coronary angioplasty in patients with stable and unstable angina.

[Cocaine-induced myocardial infarction (clinical case report)].

Cocaine abuse has been associated with various cardiovascular complications, including angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. The first report of myocardial infarction temporally related to the recreational use of cocaine appeared in 1982. This article discusses the possible pathological mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia and infarction secondary to cocaine abuse, and current ideas on the management of cocaine-induced myocardial infarction.
