Summary: The use of biomarkers in diagnosing myocardial infarction is well-established, but their value in identifying postoperative myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting is less understood. The release mechanisms of cardiac biomarkers, such as cTn, after CABG are not fully understood, making interpretation of postoperative increases in cTn concentrations complicated. Future studies are needed to determine the prognostic influence of biomarker release in general and postoperative myocardial infarction in particular.

Summary: The risk of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has decreased in Scotland over the past 25 years, likely due to improvements in coronary reperfusion and secondary prevention therapies.

Summary: Residual cardiovascular risk following acute coronary syndrome is high, especially with comorbidities like heart failure, hypertension, renal disease, and diabetes. Increased burden of comorbidities is associated with a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, highlighting the need for aggressive therapies to reduce risk.

Summary: Herpes zoster infection is linked to an increased risk of myocardial infarction within the first 30 days postinfection, but herpes zoster vaccination can decrease the likelihood of developing a myocardial infarction in patients aged 50 and above.

Summary: This study assessed the risk of arterial ischemic events during the first year after oncological surgery and found that events occurring during the hospitalization period increased the risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. After discharge, cancer surgery patients had a lower overall risk of myocardial infarction compared to matched comparison subjects.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the risk for myocardial infarction in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer treated with 5-FU. The study found a higher risk for myocardial infarction among 5-FU patients compared with population control subjects, but the absolute risk was low.

Summary: Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), negatively impacting the survival of patients. This study found that 16.4% of AMI patients developed AKI, and AKI was associated with higher mortality and increased risk of requiring hemodialysis.

Summary: This study found an association between cardiovascular risk and increased risk of acute respiratory infection and acute cardiovascular events following acute respiratory infection. Individuals with cardiovascular risk may benefit from prioritization of influenza and pneumococcal vaccines to reduce the risk of respiratory infections and cardiovascular complications.

Summary: The adult human heart has limited regenerative capacity. Direct cardiac reprogramming, which converts cardiac fibroblast into functional cardiomyocyte-like cells, holds great promise for heart regeneration. Significant progress has been made in improving reprogramming efficiency and understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Summary: This prospective cohort study explores the long-term outcomes after ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) and identifies factors associated with new events. The study finds that IS patients have a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cardiovascular death compared to TIA patients. Factors such as age, kidney failure, prior IS, prior acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive heart failure, and impaired functional status are associated with an increased risk of MACE.

Summary: This large population-based register study from Norway and Sweden suggests that outpatient procedures are generally safe with regard to the postoperative risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, certain procedures such as gastrointestinal endoscopy, vascular procedures, and urological/gynaecological procedures may increase the risk of AMI by twofold or threefold within the first 8 days after the procedures. Further research is needed to assess whether this effect is influenced by cardiovascular medication or other clinical factors.

Summary: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging technology is considered the gold standard for evaluating myocardial function and viability in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Various CMR techniques can specifically display and evaluate the pathophysiological changes in each stage of AMI. This article reviews the recent advances of CMR technology in AMI and prospects its future development directions.

Summary: This study evaluated the associations between clinical events and proteomic biomarkers in patients with HF and CAD. The results showed that biomarkers associated with inflammation and remodeling mechanisms were strong predictors of various cardiovascular events.

Summary: MACE incidence after non-cardiac surgery is 15.2% at 30 days and 20.6% at 365 days for high-risk patients, with the risk remaining elevated for about 5 months post-surgery.
