This indicates that ICD shocks, in the absence of arrhythmia, can result in myocardial injury, which may lead to an increase in mortality.

Furthermore, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images involving late gadolinium enhancement or LGE are being used increasingly to study the chronic scarring and myocardial injury that occurs in ...

Older adults who are admitted to the hospital with their first ischemic stroke who have poor nutritional status upon admission have a higher risk of post-stroke myocardial injury, a study shows.

“Additionally, this exposure resulted in damage to the heart muscle tissue of the rats, alongside increased markers of myocardial injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress.” They added that ...

This occurs because these ECG leads will see the MI backwards; the leads are placed anteriorly, but the myocardial injury is posterior. A R/S wave ratio greater than 1 in leads V1 or V2.

A recent study from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus suggests that the widely used sedative midazolam may ...

Conclusion Troponin elevation occurred in the majority of our patients after inappropriate ICD discharges secondary to lead fracture. This indicates that ICD shocks can cause myocardial injury.
