Summary: Radiomic texture analysis of ECV can differentiate reversible from irreversible myocardial injury after STEMI, with LGE and horizontal fraction features being key parameters in predicting left ventricular adverse remodeling. The selected features can also predict LVAR, and show significant differences in qualitative and quantitative baseline parameters between patients with and without LVAR.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility of texture analysis on non-contrast-enhanced T1 maps of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of myocardial injury in acute myocardial infarction. The results showed that combining radiomics signature and T1 values could improve the diagnostic accuracy for microvascular obstruction and predict the recovery of left ventricular systolic myocardial contractility.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate age-related differences in ventricular remodeling after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The results showed that young patients are more likely to have adverse remodeling and less likely to develop reverse remodeling after PPCI compared with old patients, highlighting the importance of paying equal or more attention to young patients with STEMI.

Summary: This study found that acute oxygenation signal intensity in reperfused acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients showed a stepwise rise among different LV segments compared with healthy myocardium. Acute oxygenation signal intensity was associated with early myocardial injury and predicted adverse LV segment remodeling after STEMI.

Summary: Using a new-generation drug-eluting stent, the study compared the 2-year clinical outcomes of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and non-DM concomitant with a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. The results showed higher non-CD rates in patients with DM and higher CD rates in patients without DM in the NSTEMI group.

Summary: Among patients with resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest without ST-segment elevation, the immediate angiography strategy did not provide any benefit over a delayed or selective strategy in terms of the 30-day risk of death from any cause.

Summary: Prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 12 months or more can reduce the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis regardless of the type of myocardial infarction. However, it also increases the risk of bleeding.

Summary: The study found that regionalization programs for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction did not have a statistically significant impact on the treatment and outcomes of patients with NSTEMIs. Over the study period, there were slight increases in early angiography rates and decreases in mortality rates, but these changes were not directly related to regionalization policies.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between NETs in coronary thrombus and risk profile of STEMI patients, finding that patients in the high NETs group had higher levels of high-sensitivity C reactive protein and increased NETs in aspirated coronary thrombus were associated with more elevated inflammation but less advanced atherosclerosis.

Summary: Analysis of administrative databases suggests a higher incidence of cancer among individuals who experienced a myocardial infarction, especially within the first 6 months. However, it remains unclear whether this is due to a biological link or the detection of pre-symptomatic cancers and shared risk factors. A study comparing the cancer incidence between thrombotic ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients and the general population found no significant difference over a 5-year follow-up, but a higher incidence was observed in the first 3 months after the myocardial infarction.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) characteristics and identified predictors of reverse left ventricular remodeling (r-LVR) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. The r-LVR group exhibited higher infarct zone displacements and better recovery of cardiac function. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) mass and infarct zone peak longitudinal displacement (PLD) were identified as independent predictors of r-LVR.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Results showed that patients with STEMI after TAVR had longer door-to-balloon times and a higher PCI failure rate, leading to poorer outcomes attributed to coronary access issues specific to the TAVR population.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of glycemic variability (GV), determined using a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS), on left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study found that GV measured using CGMS could be a predictor of LVRR and LVRR was associated with the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Summary: Primary aldosteronism (PA) caused by a unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma is a common cause of hypertension. Adrenal surgery can provide a cure or significant improvement, but the invasive nature of the pre-surgical investigation limits the number of patients who can receive this treatment. This study compared the accuracy of a non-invasive test, [C-11]metomidate positron emission tomography computed tomography (MTO) scanning, with adrenal vein sampling (AVS) in predicting the success of surgery in patients with PA.

Summary: This case presents a 74-year-old elite cyclist with atrial fibrillation and a biventricular pacemaker after AV node ablation. By using a generator with an impedance-derived contractility sensor (closed-loop stimulation), the patient was able to avoid sudden breathlessness caused by heart rate drops during high-intensity exercise. This is the first report on the utility of closed-loop stimulation in high-intensity exercise.

Summary: This study proposes a semi-supervised approach to train segmentation networks with limited labeled data, and evaluates the performance of four cardiac MR segmentation networks using heterogeneous datasets and clinical metrics. The results show strong agreement and generalization performance, and demonstrate that the model trained with only 100 labeled image slices can achieve comparable results to a model trained with over 16,000 labeled image slices.

Summary: Antiplatelet therapy is crucial in cardiovascular disorders, and there are currently several options available. This review provides a summary of common antiplatelet agents and their clinical application. It not only discusses recent trials in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, and coronavirus disease 2019, but also emphasizes the importance of individualized approach to balancing thrombotic and bleeding risks for improved outcomes.

Summary: This study analyzes the immune response in healthcare workers with mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and compares it to those with Long Covid. The results show no significant differences in immune responses between the two groups up to 18 weeks post-infection and 1 year after vaccination, suggesting that immune response variations are unlikely to be a contributing factor to Long Covid development.

Summary: Baseline and post-operative elevations in high-sensitivity troponin T are independently associated with 1-year all-cause mortality in cardiac surgery patients. An elevation in hs-TnT ≥50 x URL at 24 hours post-surgery is the optimal threshold to define prognostically significant peri-operative myocardial injury.

Summary: Ischaemic heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, and despite the development of several cardioprotective therapies, clinical translation has been disappointing. However, targeting the 'reperfusion injury salvage kinase' (RISK) pathway shows promise for cardioprotection. This pathway plays a crucial role in preventing mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening and cardiac cell death.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the presence, nature, and extent of myocardial damage in hospitalized patients with troponin elevation and COVID-19. The study found that patients with COVID-19 and elevated cardiac troponin levels had more ventricular impairment and myocardial scar compared to the control group. However, the proportion of myocarditis was low and scar pathogenesis was diverse.
