Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant randomized controlled trials to investigate the effects of coronary revascularization on patients with heart failure receiving guideline-recommended pharmacological therapy. The results showed that coronary revascularization was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality compared to medical therapy alone, but had no significant effect on the composite endpoint of hospitalization for heart failure or all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study evaluates the effect of revascularization strategy on all-cause mortality in patients with ischaemic heart failure. The findings show that coronary revascularization does not modify short-term survival outcomes in HF patients compared with optimal medical therapy alone.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) status and the risk of heart failure (HF) occurrence in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The results showed that patients with DM had a significantly higher risk of HF, whether in the acute myocardial infarction (MI) phase or the chronic stable phase. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent HF occurrence in CAD patients with DM.

Summary: Graft failure after CABG is common and strongly associated with adverse cardiac events. Age, female sex, and smoking are independent risk factors for graft failure, while statins have a protective effect. Graft failure is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and death.

Summary: This study analyzed the incidence and prognosis of perioperative myocardial infarction (pMI) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery using different definitions. The study found significant differences in the occurrence of pMI depending on the definition used, and the 4th Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction and Academic Research Consortium criteria were strong independent predictors of all-cause mortality. In addition, new electrocardiographic abnormalities, regional wall motion abnormalities, or coronary angiography detected signs of ischemia were also prognostic factors for primary and secondary endpoints.

Summary: This study used a nationwide database to analyze the trends and outcomes of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting after ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The results showed a decline in the use of this procedure, but no change in in-hospital mortality. A recent cohort study found that performing the grafting on day 2 had similar in-hospital mortality compared with day 3 or more, but lower rates of complications and shorter hospital stays.

Summary: An analysis of National Health Insurance data in Korea showed that pre-existing depression does not have a significant impact on mortality in patients with established coronary artery disease undergoing PCI. However, younger patients with angina and depression may have a higher risk of all-cause mortality.

Summary: Patients with left main coronary artery disease presenting with ACS have higher rates of early death, but the long-term all-cause mortality rates were similar between PCI and CABG in this high-risk subgroup. The advantages and disadvantages of PCI and CABG in terms of early stroke and long-term spontaneous MI and repeat revascularization were consistent regardless of ACS status.

Summary: This nationwide study in Sweden aimed to describe the incidence, management, and outcome of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) patients. The study found a low incidence of SCAD, with a higher proportion of male patients compared to previous studies. SCAD patients were younger with lower cardiovascular risk burden, but still had higher mortality and morbidity rates and more frequent acute coronary reangiography.

Summary: This study investigates the use of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) as a tool for coronary artery disease (CAD) risk stratification and its association with conventional cardiovascular risk factors. The results demonstrate a strong positive correlation between CACS and coronary artery stenosis, indicating the potential of CACS as a useful tool for CAD risk assessment.

Summary: This study suggests that complete revascularization should be performed in STEMI patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, and complete revascularization at the index procedure is superior to staged revascularization in reducing the risk of MACE events.

Summary: The study evaluated the diagnostic performance of different scoring systems for chest pain in urgent primary care and found that while some scoring systems have reasonable to good discriminatory properties, they do not outperform unaided clinical judgment. Only the INTERCHEST score may slightly improve risk stratification.

Summary: The increase of preload in heart failure can lead to excessive intracardiac pressures. The reduction of preload can be achieved through pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, with nonpharmacological interventions aiming to reduce blood inflow or increase splanchnic vascular blood pooling.

Summary: NIRS-derived LCBI is an effective measurement for identifying vulnerable patients and plaques at risk of future adverse events. Patients with an elevated LCBI have higher odds of enduring a future adverse event.

Summary: CMD is a challenging condition to manage due to its heterogenous pathophysiology, presentation, and response to therapy. Although awareness of CMD is improving, there is a lack of randomized trials for therapy. Invasive assessment of the coronary microcirculation can improve patient-centered outcomes. Beta-blockers are the cornerstone of therapy for CMD angina, and non-pharmacological interventions play a central role in management. Further research is needed to assess the impact of traditional and novel pharmacological therapies on symptoms and clinical events in different CMD endotypes.
