Is angiographically evident thrombus following fibrinolytic therapy associated with impaired myocardial perfusion in STEMI : a CLARITY-TIMI 28 substudy?
Residual angiographic thrombus following fibrinolytic therapy in STEMI patients is associated with impaired myocardial perfusion, independent of epicardial flow. This finding emphasizes the roles of platelet aggregation and distal embolization in the pathogenesis of microvascular dysfunction in STEMI.
Tenofovir -based regimens will need to be carefully monitored in subtype C infections for the possible selection of K65R.
