Unveiling the threat of crystalline silica on the cardiovascular system. A comprehensive review of the current knowledge

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Specific cardiovascular diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension and pericarditis, were also pointed. SiO2 exposure was linked to an increased risk of myocardial infarction, with potential mechanisms involving inflammation and platelet activation.

SEMA3A as a biomarker of primary ventricular fibrillation complicating STEMI

HeartRhythm

Neural and electrical remodeling are well documented in the acute setting of myocardial infarction (MI). Sympathetic nerve sprouting in the infarct border zone increases transmural dispersion of repolarization, promoting arrhythmias.

Association between lactate/albumin ratio and 28-day mortality in ICU critical patients with coronary heart disease: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Coronary heart disease (CHD), with common complications including myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, is one of the leading causes of global death. Both elevated lactate levels and decreased albumin levels may reflect the body's stress response and inflammatory reaction.

46 year old with chest pain develops a wide complex rhythm -- see many examples

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

There are three mechanisms of arrhythmia: automatic, re-entry, and triggered. The most common triggered arrhythmia is Torsades de Pointes. It is a benign arrhythmia which requires no specific treatment. Possible mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmias elicited by ischemia followed by reperfusion. Do not treat AIVR.

Cardiac dysfunction in survivors of sepsis: a scoping review

Open Heart

Data were mapped based on the population assessed, cardiovascular outcomes examined, inclusion of objective measures of cardiac dysfunction such as biomarkers or cardiovascular imaging, or whether cardiovascular symptoms or patient-reported functional outcomes measures were recorded.

Impact of diabetes on remodelling, microvascular function and exercise capacity in aortic stenosis

Open Heart

Objective To characterise cardiac remodelling, exercise capacity and fibroinflammatory biomarkers in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) with and without diabetes, and assess the impact of diabetes on outcomes. Secondary endpoint was all-cause death.
