Explore the latest in acute coronary syndromes, including recent guidelines and advances in management of STEMI, NSTEMI, and unstable angina.
This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial compares outcomes following myocardial infarction among patients with acute vs chronic anemia and estimates the effect of a liberal vs restrictive red blood cell transfusion strategy according to anemia acuity.
This cross-sectional study examines Medicare claims data for patients undergoing noncardiac surgery to gauge the association between previous non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and the risk of postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
This cohort study examines the association between resting heart rate and new-onset atrial fibrillation in a large community-based sample of Black adults in Jackson, Mississippi.
This case report describes the electrocardiagram findings of a patient in their 60s with chest tightness and dyspnea, left ventricular systolic impairment, and elevated troponin I levels.
This substudy of the Danish-German (DanGer) Shock randomized clinical trial investigates if the use of a microaxial flow pump reduces the need for pharmacological support and what the effects are on hemodynamics and lactate clearance in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction–induced cardiogenic shock.
This cohort study assesses the association of reporting high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T level to the lowest limit of quantification vs conventional reporting with clinical outcomes and resource use.
This systematic review and network meta-analysis investigates the optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents.
This case report describes a diagnosis of ventricular septal rupture in a patient in his 70s after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to right coronary artery occlusion.
This case report describes a diagnosis of left ventricular anterior free-wall rupture in a patient given anticoagulant treatment for subacute myocardial infarction.
This cohort study evaluates the association of current, recent, and no hydroxychloroquine use with the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and other thromboembolic events in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
This cohort study investigates myocardial injury and the association between serum creatinine concentrations and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T kinetics, as well as the clinical accuracy of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T for myocardial infarction in patients with acute kidney injury.
This randomized clinical trial investigates if prehospital pulse-dose glucocorticoid treatment has a cardioprotective effect in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
A woman in her mid-20s presented with acute fever, chest pain, and exertional dyspnea. Electrocardiogram results showed sinus tachycardia, QRS widening, low-voltage complexes, and ST-segment elevation. What would you do next?
This cohort study examines the association between air pollution and cardiovascular disease by contextual deprivation in addition to race and ethnicity and income alone.
