Coronary Microvascular Obstruction in Acute Myocardial Infarction: From Mechanisms to Treatment provides a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of coronary microvascular obstruction (CMVO) that is the main limitation of reperfusion therapies in ST-elevation myocardial infarction. It provides in-depth coverage of the phenomenon of CMVO which heavily affects prognosis by increasing the risk of death and heart failure at follow-up. A first of its kind reference dedicated solely to this topic, it is appropriate for a wide audience, from researchers, to those who aid in the management, prevention and treatment of CMVO.
Researchers and those involved in the prevention and treatment of CMVO including cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, intensive care cardiologists, family doctors, and medical students
1. Pathogenesis of STEMI
2. Reperfusion therapy in STEMI
3. Epidemiology of CMVO
4. Individual predisposition to CMVO
5. Role of distal embolization in CMVO
6. Role of ischemia reperfusion injury in CMVO
7. Angiography and ECG for the assessment of CMVO
8. Invasive assessment of CMVO
9. Imaging modalities for the assessment of CMVO
10. Intracoronary imaging for assessing the risk of CMVO
11. A comprehensive prognostic assessment of STEMI by cardiac MRI
12. Prognosis of CMVO
13. Prevention of CMVO by addressing the individual susceptibility
14. Prevention of CMVO by addressing distal embolization
15. Prevention of CMVO by addressing ischemia reperfusion injury
16. Why did all trials on reperfusion injury treatment fail in humans?
17. A multi target and multi timing strategy for the management of CMVO
18. Temporal evolution of CMVO
19. Long term management after CMVO complicating STEMI reperfusion
