Correlation of angiographic findings and right (V1 to V3) versus left (V4 to V6) precordial ST-segment depression in inferior wall acute myocardial infarctionY Birnbaum
Division of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tiqva, Israel
Am J Cardiol 83:143-8. 1999..Different patterns of precordial ST depression are associated with distinctive coronary anatomy. ST depression in leads V4 to V6, but not V1 to V3, confers a greater likelihood of multivessel coronary artery disease...
Prediction of the extent and severity of left ventricular dysfunction in anterior acute myocardial infarction by the admission electrocardiogramY Birnbaum
Division of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tiqva, Israel
Am Heart J 141:915-24. 2001..The grade of ischemia, as detected by the relation between the QRS complex and ST segment on the admission electrocardiogram, is associated with larger infarct size and increased mortality rates in acute myocardial infarction...
Augmentation of ultrasound-induced clot disruption by nongas-filled microparticlesY Birnbaum
Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Israel
Echocardiography 18:265-8. 2001..Human blood clots were used in this in vitro study. The percent clot reduction using the combination of ultrasound and microparticles was dose dependent and significantly higher than that with microparticles alone...
The predischarge electrocardiographic pattern in anterior acute myocardial infarction: relation between evolutionary ST segment and T-wave configuration and prediction of myocardial infarct size and left ventricular systolic function by the QRS Selvester Y Birnbaum
Department of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tiqva, Israel
J Electrocardiol 33:73-80. 2000..In patients with residual ST elevation the Selvester QRS-score is inaccurate in predicting infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction upon discharge...
Clinical and electrocardiographic variables associated with increased risk of ventricular septal defect in acute anterior myocardial infarctionY Birnbaum
Division of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tiqva, Israel
Am J Cardiol 86:830-4. 2000..Previous infarction was not a risk factor. Less ST-segment depression in lead III was a predictor of VSD...
Comparison of primary coronary angioplasty versus thrombolysis in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction and grade II and grade III myocardial ischemia on the enrollment electrocardiogramY Birnbaum
Division of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Beilinson Campus, Petah Tiqva, Israel
Am J Cardiol 88:842-7. 2001..There was no difference in mortality between primary angioplasty and thrombolysis in the grade II and grade III ischemia patients...
Treatment of reinfarction after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction: an analysis of outcome and treatment choices in the global utilization of streptokinase and tissue plasminogen activator for occluded coronary arteries (gusto I) and assG I Barbash
Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel
Circulation 103:954-60. 2001....
Microparticle-containing oncotic solutions augment in-vitro clot disruption by ultrasoundY Birnbaum
The Department of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel
Thromb Res 98:549-57. 2000..The effect is dependent on the colloidal solution concentration with maximal effect achieved with 1% hyperoncotic medium molecular hydroxyethyl starch and 0.35% degraded gelatin polypeptides...
Terminal QRS distortion on admission is better than ST-segment measurements in predicting final infarct size and assessing the Potential effect of thrombolytic therapy in anterior wall acute myocardial infarctionY Birnbaum
Department of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel
Am J Cardiol 84:530-4. 1999....
Value of the initial electrocardiogram in patients with inferior-wall acute myocardial infarction for prediction of multivessel coronary artery diseaseA Mager
Department of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel
Coron Artery Dis 11:415-20. 2000..This suggests that LSTD+ patients may need extensive revascularization interventions more often than do LSTD- patients. However, this has not yet been confirmed...
Ultrasound has synergistic effects in vitro with tirofiban and heparin for thrombus dissolutionY Birnbaum
Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel
Thromb Res 96:451-8. 1999....
There is synergism between high-intensity, low-frequency ultrasound and streptokinase but not with eptifibatide, heparin, and aspirin. Differential effects on fresh and aged blood clots. An in vitro studyA Wyshelesky
Laboratory of Cardiovascular Biology, Felsenstein Research Institute, Rabin Medical Center, 49-100, Petah-Tiqwa, Israel
Thromb Res 103:337-44. 2001..Further studies are needed to assess the role of heparin and antiplatelet agents in augmenting clot disruption by ultrasound in in vivo models of acute and subacute thrombosis...
Coronary air embolism treated by bubble aspirationA Solodky
Department of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tiqva, Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Israel
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 49:452-4. 2000..Thanks to the rapid and effective aspiration of the air bubble from the distal artery, blood flow was restored and the clinical picture was resolved...
The effects of streptokinase and hydroxyethyl starch on in vitro clot disruption by ultrasoundY Adler
Felsenstein Research Institute and the Department of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah-Tiqva, Israel
Cardiovasc Drugs Ther 15:119-23. 2001..6%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: low-frequency, low-intensity US combined with HAES and STK resulted in greater clot disruption at short incubation times. This combination may assist in achieving faster reperfusion in in vivo models...
The grades of ischemia on the presenting electrocardiogram of patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarctionY Birnbaum
Department of Cardiology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah-Tiqva, Israel
J Electrocardiol 34:17-26. 2001..This might be related to less protection by "ischemic preconditioning" or presence of collateral circulation...
