Myocardial infarction (MI) is a deadly disease. It can cause serious myocardial ischemic necrosis due to coronary occlusion. The most effective treatment for MI in clinic is reperfusion, e.g., interventional or thrombolytic therapy. However, reperfusion itself could induce more severe injury, called myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI).

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation. Under pro-inflammatory conditions, endothelial cells can undergo endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), contributing to atherosclerosis development. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms by which EndMT contributes to atherosclerosis remain unclear and require further investigation.

Background Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening medical condition with high early fatality. Therefore, a prompt and precise diagnosis, which can be achieved through invasive and non-invasive techniques is vital. Echocardiography, unlike MRI and CT, is accessible in emergency units and bedside-compatible. The recommended echocardiographic techniques for AAD are transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography (TTE and TOE).
