Solving the coronary-myocardial disease puzzle through             theories that are really based in facts!!!

The Acidity Theory of Atherosclerosis, 2006

Main therapy: Stress reduction and sympatholytic agents

		+	Deficient production of endogenous
Sympathetic dominance			digitalis-like compounds
by continuous stress			with alterations
			in Na/K pump activity
atherosclerosis			Lowered pH with generation of
			mechanical forces in blood flow

The Myogenic Theory of Myocardial Infarction, 1972

Main therapy: Cardiac glycosides

			Stable angina pectoris
Coronary atherosclerosis			1. relative myocardial ischemia
Slow coronary flow			2. reciprocal contractile loss
			Physical and psycoemotional stress factors /
Segmentary myocardial disease			Pharmacological factors and
			negative inotropic agents
Unstable angina /
Intermediary syndrome
Infarctioning clinical picture			Primary myocardial necrosis
1. regional myocardial insufficiency			(infarction)
2. reciprocal myocardial ischemia
Secondary coronary thrombosis			Coronary stasis or fragmentation and
(not obligatory)			displacement of atheromatous
			plaque by edema

ECG Vectorial Theory of Myocardial Infarction, 1958

Explains the ECG Patterns of Right / Left Ventricular Infarction
