Summary: The aim of this study was to examine the predictive value of specific changes in admission ECG on long-term outcome in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study found that ST-segment depressions and BBB admission ECGs are associated with higher long-term mortality in AMI patients, while a normal ECG is associated with lower long-term mortality.

Summary: The study found that low intensity smoking provides inadequate protection for young-middle age women, as they still have a higher rate of STEMI and related mortality compared to men, even when smoking less than 10 packs per year. This is concerning as more young-middle age women are smoking while smoking rates among young-middle age men continue to decline.

Summary: Analyzing epidemiological data with simplified mathematical models of disease development provides a link between incidence over time and biological processes. A proposed model based on a Markov Chain simulates atherosclerosis progression in coronary arteries, showing significant age dependence in females around menopause. Simulation allows for non-linear transition rates and consideration of randomness and inter-individual heterogeneity.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the differences in typical and atypical symptoms reported by stroke patients based on their sex and age. The results showed that female patients and younger patients were more likely to present with atypical symptoms. The findings suggest the importance of recognizing these atypical first presentations in order to facilitate early stroke treatment.

Summary: Women have a 28% increased risk of recurrent myocardial infarction compared to men after an incident myocardial infarction. However, there is no difference in the risk of heart failure or death between women and men in this study. Future research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this association.

Summary: Gender differences exist in the epidemiology, clinical features, and outcome of myocardial infarction, with women showing lower propensity to develop spherical geometry and left ventricular dysfunction after MI, attributed to various physiological factors including hormonal influences. Future studies should focus on clarifying these sex differences and potential therapeutic targets.

Summary: Mortality from myocardial infarction (MI) has declined due to improved treatment methods, but outcomes of MI with subsequent reperfusion therapy are generally poorer for women compared with men. Further investigation is needed to understand the sex-based differences in disease pathophysiology and treatment response, and develop sex-specific therapeutic methods against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). This literature review summarizes current knowledge on sex differences in the pathophysiological mechanisms of myocardial IRI, as well as sex differences in the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenetics of drugs used to limit myocardial IRI.

Summary: The addition of 6 biomarkers significantly improved the prediction of type 2 diabetes when added to a noninvasive clinical model or to a clinical model plus HbA(1c). This improvement was observed in both the discovery and validation studies. Additionally, these biomarkers showed significant enhancements on top of the existing GDRS(adapted) model plus HbA(1c) in both studies.

Summary: This study reviewed 18 studies and found gender differences in the presentation, risk factors, management, and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Women were more likely to have coexisting conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and heart failure, while men were more likely to have previous ischemic heart disease, angina, dyslipidemia, and a smoking history. Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind these differences and the role of gender-specific risk factors.

Summary: This study found significant sex differences in clinical characteristics, investigations, and outcomes in patients with type 2 myocardial infarction. Despite higher risk of death in patients with type 2 MI compared to type 1 MI, women with type 2 MI were less likely to have obstructive coronary artery disease or severe left ventricular impairment, and had a higher survival rate than men.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the GRACE risk score in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients for 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The study found that the GRACE risk score, along with the PESI score, were independent risk factors associated with 30-day mortality and the need for thrombolytic treatment. The GRACE risk score showed high sensitivity and specificity in predicting mortality, and its combination with the PESI score helped define high-risk PE patients and predict poor prognosis.

Summary: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is commonly used to evaluate isolated tricuspid regurgitation (TR), but there is limited research comparing its quantification with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, a novel TTE algorithm was developed to identify severe TR based on TTE parameters. The algorithm had a higher accuracy than the current guidelines' criteria in detecting severe TR by MRI.

Summary: This article presents a case of a patient with known situs inversus who underwent cardiac catheterization and was found to have chronic total occlusion in the right coronary artery. Situs inversus is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by the inverted position of chest and abdominal organs. Cardiac catheterization is uncommon in patients with this particular abnormality, highlighting the importance of customizing techniques to engage coronary arteries and optimize guide support for percutaneous coronary intervention if needed.

Summary: This study evaluated the angiogenic capacity of adipose tissue in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries and found that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) had reduced angiogenic capacity in their pericardial adipose tissue. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulated expression of the anti-angiogenic gene TSP-1 in CAD patients, with no significant differences in other angiogenic factors. Additionally, inhibiting TSP-1 expression significantly improved angiogenic deficiency in CAD patients.

Summary: The current guidelines recommend prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) and low left ventricular ejection fraction. However, not all patients will benefit from ICD treatment. This study evaluated the feasibility of using the MADIT-II-based Risk Stratification Score (MRSS) to predict the survival benefit of prophylactic ICDs in patients with HF. The results showed that different risk subgroups had varying levels of ICD survival benefit.

Summary: This study evaluated the rates and causes of 30-day readmissions after discharge for heart failure (HF) as a primary and secondary diagnosis. The findings indicate that efforts to reduce readmission rates should include patients with secondary HF diagnosis, and surveillance should extend to 2 weeks postdischarge to identify at-risk patients.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the relation between reverse septal curvature (RSC) and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The study found that patients with RSC were younger and had a higher incidence of NSVT, and RSC was identified as a strong independent risk factor for NSVT.
