Summary: The study compared the 2-year major clinical outcomes between STEMI and NSTEMI patients who are current smokers treated with PCI, and found no significant difference in outcomes. Further research is needed to confirm these results.

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: This study investigated the effects of rivaroxaban on thromboprophylaxis in patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The addition of low-dose rivaroxaban to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reduced left ventricular thrombus (LVT) formation within 30 days compared to only DAPT. Net clinical adverse events were lower in the rivaroxaban group at 30 days and remained relatively low throughout the follow-up period. A case of major bleeding occurred in the rivaroxaban group within 30 days.

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: 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: 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: Increased whole blood viscosity is associated with higher thrombus burden in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. High shear rate and low shear rate values were significantly higher in the high thrombus burden group, with specific cut-off values showing good sensitivity and specificity for predicting thrombus burden. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that both high shear rate and low shear rate were independent predictors for high thrombus burden.

Summary: The study investigated the association between ambient temperature and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in the tropical city-state of Singapore. Results showed that temperature decline was associated with a delayed cumulative increase in NSTEMI risk, with older age groups potentially more susceptible.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of myocardial infarction severity and diabetes on the migratory activity of CD34+/CXCR4+ progenitor cells and attempts to predict cardiac outcomes. The results show an interaction between infarct and diabetes on the migratory activity of CD34+/CXCR4+ cells, but the test does not accurately predict functional outcomes in patients.

Summary: In this study, the effects of sex differences in delayed hospitalization on major clinical outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after new-generation drug-eluting stent implantation were compared. The results showed that female patients had higher mortality rates and cardiac death rates in the 0-24 hour delayed hospitalization group compared to male patients, and also had higher mortality rates over a 3-year follow-up period.

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 retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 1175 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock and found that compared to non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction had lower short-term and long-term mortality rates, but higher rates of major bleeding and gastrointestinal bleeding during hospitalization.

Summary: Circulating ketone bodies are increased in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Higher ketone bodies at 24 hours post-reperfusion are associated with larger myocardial infarct size and lower left ventricular ejection fraction.

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 compared cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived left ventricular function, strain, and infarct size characteristics in patients with transient ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (TSTEMI), ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The results showed that TSTEMI patients had better LV function and smaller infarct size compared to STEMI patients, and their characteristics were more similar to NSTEMI patients.
