Association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index and myocardial infarction: results from the national health and nutrition examination survey, 1999–2014

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Multiple logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were conducted to assess both linear and nonlinear associations between WWI and myocardial infarction. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were also performed.ResultsAmong the 31,535 participants analyzed, 1,449 (4.82%) had experienced a myocardial infarction.

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Angina is another common symptom due the hypertrophy which causes a coronary supply demand mismatch Symptoms of HCM include syncope/near syncope, which could be precipitated by exertion, hypovolemia, rapid standing, Valsalva manoeuvre, diuretics, vasodilators or arrhythmia. Severity of SAM can be quantified by SAM septal contact time.

Prognostic Value of Strain by Tissue Tracking Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Myocardial Infarction With Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundStrain assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a key prognostic indicator in myocardial infarction. However, the strain characteristics and prognostic value in myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) with different causes are unclear.
