Prognostic implications of stress test-induced arrhythmias: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Methods Relevant studies examining arrhythmia in both exercise and pharmacological stress testing were searched for in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases from inception to 14 June 2023. However, it is linked to subsequent diagnosis of AF, coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.

Microaxial Flow Pump Effects in Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock

JAMA Cardiology

This substudy of the Danish-German (DanGer) Shock randomized clinical trial investigates if the use of a microaxial flow pump reduces the need for pharmacological support and what the effects are on hemodynamics and lactate clearance in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction–induced cardiogenic shock.

Role of autophagy in myocardial remodeling after myocardial infarction

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Myocardial remodeling is characterized by gradual heart enlargement, cardiac dysfunction, and extraordinary molecular changes. Cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction is almost inevitable, which is the leading cause of heart failure. Autophagy has a protective effect on myocardial remodeling improvement.

EFFECTS OF PTEROSTILBENE ON HEART AND LUNG OXIDATIVE STRESS PARAMETERS IN TWO EXPERIMENTAL MODELS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Myocardial infarction (MI) and pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) are two prevalent cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to evaluate the effect of PTE on oxidative stress in the hearts of animals with myocardial infarction and in the lungs of animals with PAH. Male Wistar rats were used in both models.

ALKBH5 regulates N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of MG53 to attenuate myocardial infarction by inhibiting apoptosis and oxidative stress

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Abstract: N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification is involved in the progression of myocardial infarction (MI). N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification is involved in the progression of myocardial infarction (MI).
