Clinical implications of perioperative and periprocedural myocardial infarction

Nature Reviews - Cardiology

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 12 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41569-025-01137-y Differing definitions and questionable prognostic significance have caused confusion and controversy around the applicability of the current definitions of periprocedural and perioperative myocardial infarction in clinical practice.

Ischaemia-reperfusion time differences in ST-elevation myocardial infarction in very young patients: a cohort study

Open Heart

Introduction ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most prevalent presentations in young patients. It is essential to emphasise that each minute of delay in providing medical care is negatively correlated to the patient’s prognosis.

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. Among patients with myocardial infarction, a 1-SD increase in pulse pressure was associated with a 1.60-fold m/s had a 2.10-fold

Hypoxia in myocardial infarction and natriuretic peptides

Open Heart

The function of oxygen gradients should be correlated with circulating natriuretic peptides to achieve better sensitivity in plasma measurements of natriuretic peptides in myocardial infarction.

Bibliometric analysis of youth myocardial infarction research (1980–2023)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionCardiovascular diseases include myocardial infarction, a high mortality disease. Myocardial infarction patients are becoming younger, typically defined as patients under 45 years of age. We searched the WoSCC between 1980 and 2023 for research papers and reviews on myocardial infarction in youth.

Temperature and myocardial infarction among migrants in Kuwait

Heart BMJ

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temperature and myocardial infarction (MI) risk among migrants in Kuwait. With a large migrant population predominantly employed in physically demanding jobs, the exact effects and burdens of temperature exposure on cardiovascular risk among this population remain unknown.

Genetically predicted smoking and body mass index mediate the relationship between insomnia and myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between insomnia and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and explore potential mediators such as smoking initiation, alcohol consumption and body mass index (BMI) using mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsData from 1,207,228 individuals of European ancestry were obtained from (..)
