Trends in prognosis and use of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Research design and methods All patients with diabetes and CAD undergoing a coronary angiography between 2010 and 2021 according to the Swedish Angiography and Angioplasty Registry were included. Results Among all patients (n = 38,671), 31% had stable CAD, and 69% suffered an acute myocardial infarction.

Diagnostic value of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) in dialysis patients with myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background As a sensitive diagnostic marker for myocardial infarction (MI) in people with normal renal function, elevated high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) was often found in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients requiring dialysis.

Effect of ischaemic postconditioning on markers of myocardial injury in ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a meta-analysis

Open Heart

Objectives This study aimed to perform a meta-analysis of the short-term impact of ischaemic postconditioning (IPoC) on myocardial injury in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) using surrogate cardiac biomarkers. Methods Eligible studies were identified using several article databases.

Role of low-density lipoprotein electronegativity and sexual dimorphism in contributing early ventricular tachyarrhythmias following ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Early ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has higher morbidity and mortality. Methods We analyzed data from 2,964 consecutive STEMI patients between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2021.

Chest pain: Are these really "Nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities", as the cardiologist interpretation states?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Curr Cardiol Red 2021 3. ST depression in lead AVL differentiates inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction from pericarditis. Ischemic ST-segment depression maximal in V1-4 (versus V5-6) of any amplitude is specific for occlusion myocardial infarction (versus nonocclusive ischemia). J Am Heart Assoc 2021 6.

Classification Algorithm to Distinguish Between Type 1 and Type 2 Myocardial Infarction in Administrative Claims Data

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Background:Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) and type 1 myocardial infarction (T1MI) differ with respect to demographics, comorbidities, treatments, and clinical outcomes. This could facilitate more accurate longitudinal assessments of acute myocardial infarction quality and outcomes. T1MI and 53.5%
