Sex disparities in acute myocardial infarction care and outcomes.

AIM: We investigated sex-based and regional outcomes after contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Xience V stent in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: This patient level pooled analysis includes three multi-center, prospective post-market registries performed in the US, Japan, and China. A total of 1,938 patients treated with Xience V stents in the setting of AMI were enrolled. Compared to men, women had higher major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (14.1% vs. 9.8% P < 0.01, RR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.4) and all-cause mortality (10% vs. 6.2% P…

Mesenteric Ischemia and Myocardial Infarction Associated with Atrial Fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation is a common disease correlated with embolism incidents. However, there is lack of report on atrial fibrillation causing myocardial infarction and mesenteric ischemia at the same time. Our patient is a 69-year-old woman who had undergone thoracic surgery a month before presented to our hospital with newly discovered atrial fibrillation, abdominal pain, and ST-elevated myocardial infarction. This is a rare case that atrial fibrillation took place one month after surgery and caused embolism incidents in both coronary artery and mesenteric artery.

Periprocedural myocardial infarction and injury in elective coronary stenting.

AIMS: To assess the incidence, risk factors and prognosis of periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) and myocardial injury in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS: We included all consecutive patients who underwent elective PCI with a negative troponin level at admission from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2015. The primary endpoint was defined as the composite of periprocedural MI (Type 4a MI), stent thrombosis (Type 4b MI), and myocardial injury according to the Third universal definition of MI. Multivariable analysis was performed to i…

MicroRNA-298 regulates apoptosis of cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role and mechanism of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-298 in myocardial apoptosis after myocardial infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In vivo experiments, the rat model of myocardial infarction was established, and miR-298 was up-regulated via lentivirus with miR-298 overexpression. Cardiac function of rats was detected via echocardiography, Bcl-2 associated X protein (BAX) expressions in infarction border zone were detected via Real-time Quantitative PCR (qT-PCR) and Western blot, and TUNEL assay was used to detect the myocardial apoptosis. In vitro experiments, my…

M3RNA Drives Targeted Gene Delivery in Acute Myocardial Infarction.

The M3RNA (microencapsulated modified messenger RNA) platform is an approach to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA) in vivo, achieving a nonintegrating and viral-free approach to gene therapy. This technology was, in this study, tested for its utility in the myocardium, providing a unique avenue for targeted gene delivery into the freshly infarcted myocardial tissue. This study provides the evidentiary basis for the use of M3RNA in the heart through depiction of its performance in cultured cells, healthy rodent myocardium, and acutely injured porcine hearts. By testing the technology in large animal

[Effect of spinal cord stimulation on myocardial ischemia/infarction].

Fatal arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death after myocardial ischemia/infarction are serious threats to human health. In recent years, studies have shown that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can balance autonomic activity, inhibit myocardial structural remodeling, improve blood flow to ischemic myocardium, effectively reduce the incidence of arrhythmia, heart failure and sudden cardiac death after myocardial ischemia/infarction, but its specific mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. The effect of SCS on cardiac function may be achieved by inhibiting neural remodeling, or by

IL-23R Signaling Plays No Role in Myocardial Infarction.

Ischemic heart diseases are the most frequent diseases in the western world. Apart from Interleukin (IL-)1, inflammatory therapeutic targets in the clinic are still missing. Interestingly, opposing roles of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-23 have been described in cardiac ischemia in mice. IL-23 is a composite cytokine consisting of p19 and p40 which binds to IL-23R and IL-12Rβ1 to initiate signal transduction characterized by activation of the Jak/STAT, PI3K and Ras/Raf/MAPK pathways. Here, we generate IL-23R-Y416FΔICD signaling deficient mice and challenged these mice in close- and open-che

Cardiac cell-integrated microneedle patch for treating myocardial infarction.

We engineered a microneedle patch integrated with cardiac stromal cells (MN-CSCs) for therapeutic heart regeneration after acute myocardial infarction (MI). To perform cell-based heart regeneration, cells are currently delivered to the heart via direct muscle injection, intravascular infusion, or transplantation of epicardial patches. The first two approaches suffer from poor cell retention, while epicardial patches integrate slowly with host myocardium. Here, we used polymeric MNs to create "channels" between host myocardium and therapeutic CSCs. These channels allow regenerative factors secr…

A 42-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction.

CLINICAL INTRODUCTION: A 42-year-old woman presented with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction. Urgent coronary angiography revealed tapering then occlusion of the distal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery with no flow in the distal LAD (figure 1A). Balloon angioplasty with a 2.0×8 mm balloon re-established flow into the distal LAD. An angiogram of the right external iliac artery was also performed (figure 1B).heartjnl;104/19/1607/F1F1F1Figure 1Invasive angiography of the left coronary system (A) and the right external iliac artery (B). The coronary angiogram (A) shows taper…

Герпес Зостер: Эпидемиологические связи со Строке и инфарктом миокарда.

Обычные данные из электронных медицинских карт (ЭПЧ) позволяют получить представление о связях между герпесом-зостером (HZ) и такими сердечно-сосудистыми осложнениями, как инсульт или инфаркт миокарда (MI) в различных группах населения во всем мире. Данные, полученные в ходе крупных исследований в области ЭПЧ с использованием как саморегулирующихся серий дел, так и традиционных когортных схем, свидетельствуют о том, что риск инсульта после ВЗ постепенно возрастает в течение 6-12 месяцев. В этих исследованиях герпес зостер офтальмикс был связан с более высоким риском инсульта, чем HZ в других м

Evidence from large EHR studies using both self-controlled case series and traditional cohort designs suggests that there is a transient inc…

Higher Risk of Vascular Dementia in Myocardial Infarction Survivors.

BACKGROUND: Increased risk of dementia after myocardial infarction (MI) may be mediated by shared risk factors (eg, atherosclerosis) and post-MI stroke. We examined risk of dementia in 1-year survivors of MI. METHODS: Using Danish medical registries, we conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study of all patients with first-time MI and a sex-, birth year-, and calendar year-matched general population comparison cohort without MI (1980-2012). Cox regression analysis was used to compute 1- to 35-year adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for dementia, controlled for matching factors and adjuste…

Myocardial Infarction and Exercise Training: Evidence from Basic Science.

In 2016, cardiovascular disease remains the first cause of mortality worldwide [1]. Coronary artery disease, which is the most important precursor of myocardial infarction (MI), is the main component of total cardiovascular mortality, being responsible for approximately seven million of deaths [1]. In approximately 20% of infarcted patients, MI is recurrent in the first year after the event [2]. Moreover, among cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease accounts for the most increased index of life years lost due to morbidity and/or mortality [1]. Sedentarism highly contributes to cardiov…

Transplantation of purified iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes in myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) can be differentiated into cardiomyocytes and represent a possible autologous cell source for myocardial repair. We analyzed the engraftment and functional effects of murine iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) in a murine model of myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS: To maximize cardiomyocyte yield and purity a genetic purification protocol was applied. Murine iPSCs were genetically modified to express a Zeocin™ resistance gene under control of the cardiac-specific α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC, MYH6) promoter. Thus, CM selection was p…

Acute Myocardial Infarction following Naltrexone Consumption; a Case Report.

Cardiovascular effects of opioid withdrawal have long been studied. It was reported that patients with underlying ischemic heart disease and atherosclerotic vessels may be complicated by a sudden physical and emotional stress due to withdrawal syndrome. But some other believes sudden increase in catecholamine level as a sympathetic overflow might effect on heart with and without underlying ischemia. In the current study, a patient on methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) who experienced myocardial infarction (MI) after taking naltrexone was described.
