myocardial infarction/nausea

OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of continuous PC6 acupressure as an adjunct to antiemetic drug therapy in the prevention and control of nausea and vomiting in the first 24h after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS Partially randomised, partially blinded placebo-controlled, exploratory

Sixteen patients with acute myocardial infarctions who were either vomiting or nauseated were given an intravenous injection of prochlorperazine. All patients obtained relief with exception of one patient who was in acute renal failure. No patient developed symptomatic hypotension. Intravenous

We conducted an observational study on 164 patients consecutively admitted to our coronary care unit in order to evaluate the predictive role of cardiac prodromes nausea and vomiting, in distinguishing a particular electrocardiographic pattern (Q wave versus non-Q wave and localisation) of an acute

To determine whether the incidence of nausea and vomiting in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) varies with infarct location, we studied 180 patients who had been admitted to our hospital for ST-segment elevation AMI or AMI associated with left bundle branch block. The presenting

Nausea and vomiting occurring during myocardial ischemia is believed to be associated with inferior wall infarction. However, data supporting such an association are limited, and an alternative hypothesis that cardiac vomiting is related to infarct size has also been advanced. The 2 hypotheses were

BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend an immediate (eg, <10 minutes) 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to identify ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain. Yet, one third of all patients with myocardial infarction do not

BACKGROUND Definitive treatment for heart attack is early reperfusion with either angioplasty or thrombolytic therapy, and the benefit is strictly time-dependent. Patient outcomes are improved with either therapy when initiated as soon as possible. Recognition of heart attack symptoms is logically

Studies designed to evaluate the short-term effects of incretin-related drugs in subjects with cardiac disease are still preliminary. In patients with heart failure, two of five studies showed that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) infusion was associated with an absolute increase in left ventricular

Mistreated fish products ingestion can lead to a histaminergic illness known as Scombroid Syndrome (SS). The disease usually causes cutaneous rash, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, breathing disorder and further histamine-related symptoms. To date, however, SS has been disregarded among the

OBJECTIVE To describe sex differences in symptom presentation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) while controlling for differences in age and other potentially confounding factors. BACKGROUND Although several studies have examined sex differences in diagnosis, management, and survival after
