Influence of Trichosanthes pericarpium extract on improving microcirculation and outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Microcirculatory dysfunction is an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography during hospitalization and follow-up.

Intestinal fatty acid binding protein is associated with infarct size and cardiac function in acute heart failure following myocardial infarction

Open Heart

This could facilitate the leakage of bacterial products into circulation and contribute to inflammation and adverse cardiac remodelling. We aimed to investigate gut leakage markers and their associations with inflammation, infarct size and cardiac function. to 22.44; aOR 5.05, 95% CI 1.25 to 22.59, respectively).

Using Stem Cell-derived Heart Muscle Cells to Advance Heart Regenerative Therapy

DAIC

Myocardial infarctions , commonly known as “heart attacks,” are on the rise, resulting in a significant number of deaths each year. Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state. First, the team verified the correct reprogramming of HiPSCs into cardiomyocytes.

Targeting NPM1 Epigenetically Promotes Postinfarction Cardiac Repair by Reprogramming Reparative Macrophage Metabolism

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Reparative macrophages play a crucial role in limiting excessive fibrosis and promoting cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI), highlighting the significance of enhancing their reparative phenotype for wound healing.

What are treatment options for this rhythm, when all else fails?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Troponin T peaked at 38,398 ng/L ( = a very large myocardial infarction, but not massive-- thanks to the pre-PCI spontaneous reperfusion, and rapid internvention!! ). Cardiac function is poor, with akinesis of the LAD territory. Inotropic medication was continued.

Versican Promotes Cardiomyocyte Proliferation and Cardiac Repair

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Neonatal heart regeneration after myocardial injury is accompanied by an expansion of cardiac fibroblasts and compositional changes in the extracellular matrix. Conditional knockout ofVcanin cardiac fibroblasts decreased cardiomyocyte proliferation and impaired neonatal heart regeneration.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) – why is it so important?

Cardiomatics

This results in a deficiency of oxygen and nutrients in the cells of the body, which can have a huge impact on how it functions. Moreover, the improvement of care for patients with myocardial infarction has resulted in higher survival rates, but as a result, more patients suffer from heart failure. Heart Fail. 6] Howell, S.J.;
