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

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.

Adherence to optimal medical therapy and control of cardiovascular risk factors in patients after ST elevation myocardial infarction in Mexico

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionIn developing countries, there is a notable scarcity of real-world data on adherence to optimal medical therapy (OMT) and its correlation with major cardiovascular adverse events (MACEs) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Strategies to improve adherence to OMT and risk factor control are needed.

Risk factors influencing the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) face high mortality rates. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) therapy offers critical support in these cases, yet i.
