Stress hyperglycemia and poor outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Hyperglycemia, characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, is frequently observed in patients with acute coronary syndrome, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). 5.11), repeat PCI or stent thrombosis (pooled RR 1.99, 95% CI 1.21–3.28), 2.17), heart failure (pooled RR 1.56, 95% CI: 1.37–1.77),

Case report of severe coronary artery disease complicated by malignant arrhythmia due to inherited thrombophilia

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The principal clinical manifestation of thrombophilia is venous thromboembolism, which is also markedly linked to arterial thrombosis, including myocardial infarction. This report presents the case of a young man who suffered an acute myocardial infarction as a result of thrombophilia.

Myocardial infarction due to coronary embolism after mechanical aortic valve replacement: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) in aortic valve and its complication coronary embolism is a very rare condition. We present a young patient with acute myocardi. Diagnosis and treatment process is challenging.

Dynamic OMI ECG. Negative trops and negative angiogram does not rule out coronary ischemia or ACS.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Thus, it has recently become generally accepted that most plaque ruptures resulting in myocardial infarction occur in plaques that narrow the lumen diameter by 40% of the arterial cross section may be involved by plaque. This confirms that the pain was ischemia and is now resovled. The i nitial hs troponin I returned 75%.

What does the angiogram show? The Echo? The CT coronary angiogram? How do you explain this?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection; myocardial disorders, including myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and other cardiomyopathies. MINOCA I do not have the bandwidth here to write a review of MINOCA.

Commentary on Anti-thrombotic effect of protoparaxotriol saponins from Panax notoginseng using zebrafish model

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Thrombosis continues to pose a significant challenge in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, contributing to severe health complications such as myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. In this paper, we comment the findings reported by Liu et al.

Abnormal echocardiographic finding mimicking paracardiac cystic lesion

Heart BMJ

Previous medical interventions included a spectrum of procedures, including catheter-directed thrombectomy for popliteal artery aneurysms with thrombosis, vascular bypass grafting for cerebral-anterior communicating artery aneurysms and arch replacement and stent implantation for aortic dissecting aneurysms.
