Key points of must-read review on reperfusion injury in patients with acute myocardial infarction in the latest issue of JACC:
1. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) exacerbates myocardial necrosis in patients with STEMI, contributing to mortality
2. MIRI is mediated by

Secondary analysis of the PRE18FFIR study showed individual coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity is associated with subsequent myocardial infarction in the same coronary artery territory, which cascades into patient-level risk bit.ly/45fT9Jf

Pericardial involvement in acute myocardial infarction in the post-thrombolytic era: Clinical meaning and value eurekamag.com/research/009/1…

If I could name the most tragic urban legend in Cardiology (and there are many), it would be the “SMILEY FACE”.

Between 40-50% of LAD artery occlusions have upward concave ST elevation.

Even so, we still see many people out there dismissing myocardial infarction, don’t we?

Our current and future CCCU 🫀 fellows Gareth and Veronica Bertozzi presenting their project “ Evaluation of risk factors for myocardial ischemia and early mortality in infants with Pulmonary Atresia
with Intact Ventricular Septum: a scoping review”

Findings: “Close to a quarter of depressive anxiety & substance use disorders ….could be prevented if exposure to child maltreatment was eradicated…for perspective tobacco smoking accounts for 24% of cancers in US men & hypertension for 23% of myocardial infarctions globally.”

Here's to the warriors of the ER on Emergency Medicine Day! At ResusMed, we celebrate those who can differentiate a panic attack from a myocardial infarction without breaking a sweat. Your ability to handle patients and paperwork with the same level of precision is nothing short

#GoWithTheFlow : during #ICNCCT2024 important lesson: measurement of myocardial blood flow is here to stay ! Diagnosis, prognosis, aid to guide therapy, avoiding false negatives and false positives . Great game changer ! Mouaz Al-Mallah, M.D MSc and Marcelo Di Carli great presentations ! ASNC Society

Great talk next week during our #CVSExternalSeminar by Florian Sicklinger at QMRI! We are very much looking forward to it - please join us!
