Summary: This study investigated the prognostic differences between elderly patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) by analyzing data from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database in Taiwan. The results showed that there was no difference in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality between STEMI and NSTEMI in patients who received revascularization. However, in patients who did not receive revascularization, NSTEMI was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death. Moreover, there was no difference in major bleeding between STEMI and NSTEMI patients aged ≥65 years old.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of administering heparin in the emergency room for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The results showed that the rate of coronary artery revascularization was significantly higher in the group receiving heparin compared to the control group, and there was an improvement in the blood flow according to the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade.

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: Recent advancements in the care of STEMI patients have established primary PCI as the standard treatment, but non-PCI-capable hospitals may need to consider thrombolysis as an option during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite a decline in patient seeking care for myocardial infarction and accessibility of cardiac catheterization services due to the pandemic, professional societies still recommend PCI as the primary treatment for STEMI. Future research is needed to confirm the benefits of PCI in the context of current and future pandemics.

Summary: The ATLAS-OCT trial investigates the feasibility of OCT-guided primary PCI for STEMI and aims to identify the suitable patient group for OCT-guided PCI. It is a prospective, multicenter registry study that will record clinical outcomes and adverse cardiac events.

Summary: The study found that NSTE-ACS patients with MVD undergoing MV-PCI and CO-PCI had similar mortality rates at long-term follow-up, but the MV-PCI group showed improved event-free survival in terms of fewer coronary reinterventions.

Summary: Extracellular chromatin and neutrophil activation play crucial roles in myocardial infarction, with high levels correlating with infarct size, microvascular obstruction, and cardiac function. DNase activity is important for maintaining microvascular patency and improving outcomes in STEMI patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the value of neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR) in predicting all-cause mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The results showed that NPR could predict all-cause death in patients with STEMI after primary PCI, suggesting its potential application in risk stratification and individualized treatment.

Summary: This study evaluated the role of ST-segment resolution (STR) and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow in reperfusion evaluation after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. The results showed that STR =50% and complete STR were significantly associated with lower 2-year mortality compared to STR <50%. Additionally, the combination of STR and TIMI flow provided incremental prognostic information beyond either measure alone.

Summary: This study evaluated the prognostic influence of right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) on patients with inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The results showed that RVMI did not increase all-cause mortality in the contemporary reperfusion era, but it was associated with a higher risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Timely reperfusion treatment was found to decrease all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study developed and validated a simple scoring system to predict the risk of post-AMI infection in patients undergoing PCI. The risk score showed good discrimination and calibration in both the development and validation cohort. It also demonstrated good performance for infection, in-hospital all-cause death, and MACE.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of STEMI patients undergoing PCI according to total ischemic time. The results showed that PCI performed within 12 hours of symptom onset had better outcomes, while PCI performed later than 12 hours was associated with higher mortality and target lesion failure rates. However, there was no significant difference in outcomes between PCI performed later than 48 hours and PCI performed between 12-48 hours.

Summary: This study investigates the temporal trends and sex differences in revascularization and in-hospital outcomes in older patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The findings show that older women with STEMI are less likely to receive reperfusion and have higher in-hospital mortality compared to older men. However, there is no significant change in in-hospital mortality over time for both genders.
