The killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the deaths of other Black people at the hands of police have brought out hundreds of thousands of people across the United States and around the world to demand racial justice and an end to police brutality. Yet many people are concerned that such large gathering could worsen the spread of the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Continue reading →

Background:Emergent cardiac catheterization laboratory activation (CCLA) for patients with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is employed to expedite acute revascularization (AR). The incidence of false-positive CCLA, in which AR is not performed, remains high. The combination of chest pain (CP) and electrocardiographic ST elevation (STE) are the hallmarks of STEMI Continue reading →

1. Mailers and telephone reminders together significantly increased the likelihood of completing cardiac rehabilitation at 12 months among individuals who have experienced a myocardial infarction. Continue reading →

We aimedto detect whether the effect of apigenin (Apig) on themyocardial infarction-induced cardiomyocyte injury of mouse myocardial cells and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mice was through regulating Parkin expression via miR-103-1-5p. The myocardial infarction cardiomyocyte model (Hypoxia/reoxygenation) was first constructed, then the mouse myocardial cells were treated with Apig, and the expression of miR-103-1-5p was decreased and the expression of Parkin was increased by qRT-PCR and Western blot.

A wide spectrum of symptoms and disease severity may characterize patients presenting with pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS-TS) associated with SARS-CoV-2, including fever and inflammation, myocardial injury, shock, and development of coronary artery aneurysms, according to a study published in JAMA. The study included 58 pediatric patients from 8 hospitals in England who were admitted between March 23 and May 16, 2020, with persistent fever and laboratory evidence of inflammation, who met the Royal College of Physicians definition of PIMS-TS. Data including clinical and laboratory characteristics were extracted from both electronic and paper records Continue reading →

Introduction: The aim of this study is to estimate how much of the recent decrease in mortality among patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) can be attributed to improved treatment strategies, and how much it is related to changes in baseline clinical characteristics, and to compare these findings for men and women.

1. Patients status-post placement of drug-eluting stents (DES) for acute coronary syndrome received three months of Ticagrelor and Aspirin dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), followed by nine months of DAPT or Ticagrelor monotherapy. 2. Continue reading →
