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. The occurrence of MACE in the first year of follow-up was related to different risk factors, along with a delay in healthcare (HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.10 Presenting dyspnoea (RR 1.76, 95% CI 1.5

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

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Heart failure (HF) is one of the significant complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leading to increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 2 Therefore, early identification of HF in high-risk populations, particularly post-MI, is essential for improving outcomes.

Correlation between admission blood glucose, fibrinogen, and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, whether immediate blood glucose and FIB levels affect coronary blood flow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear.ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between admission blood glucose (ABG), fibrinogen (FIB) and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).MethodsA

Temporal order of atrial fibrillation and acute myocardial infarction and associated prognosis in the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort

Open Heart

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) share risk factors and are bidirectionally associated. Several studies found higher risks of outcomes in individuals with both conditions. Whether the risks of outcomes differ according to temporal order of AF and AMI is unclear.

Factors related to cardiac rupture after acute myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundCardiac rupture (CR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a fatal mechanical complication. The early identification of factors related to CR in high-risk cases may reduce mortality. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression and stratifying analysis were used to identify risk factors for CR.

Clinical significance of NT-proBNP as a predictive biomarker of depressive symptoms in cardiac patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

More than half of the patients presented with heart failure (n=2,234, 55.4%), followed by acute myocardial infarction (n=1,368, 34.0%), coronary artery disease (n=674, 16.7%), and acute coronary syndrome (n=164, 4.1%). In addition, three studies found that age and female gender were significant risk factors in depressed patients.
