Vessel-Level Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Activity Predicts Myocardial Infarction Risk

Cardiology Update

However, the association between vessel-level coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity and the incidence of vessel-level myocardial infarction (MI) has not been fully explored. This included an elevated risk of cardiac death or myocardial infarction (HR: 2.43; 95% CI: 1.37-4.30; 4.39; P = 0.002) myocardial infarctions.

Colchicine in acute myocardial infarction: cardiovascular events at 1-year follow up

Open Heart

Objective In the COVERT-MI randomised placebo-controlled trial, oral administration of high-dose colchicine at the time of reperfusion and for 5 days in acute ST-elevated myocardial infarction did not reduce infarct size but was associated with a significant increase in left ventricular thrombus (LVT) in comparison to placebo.
