Troponin level elevation without an obstructive culprit lesion is caused by heterogenous entities. The effect of aging on this condition has been poorly investigated. After screening 24,775 patients between 2010 and 2021, this study included a total of 373 patients with elevated troponin levels without an obstructive culprit lesion or suspected myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCAs) categorized into four age groups containing 78 patients (<51 years), 72 patients (51-60 years), 81 patients (61-70 years), and 142 patients (>70 years).

- - The study investigates the relationship between obesity and heart failure in patients using a wearable cardioverter-defibrillator, finding that those with a BMI over 30 kg/m^2 had better left ventricular ejection fraction improvements than patients with lower BMIs.
- - Despite similar adherence to using the defibrillator and rates of arrhythmic events across different BMI groups, patients with a BMI over 30 experienced significantly lower rehospitalization rates for cardiovascular issues compared to those with a BMI between 25-30.
- - At a two-year follow-up, mortality rates were notably lower for the highest BMI group (5.9%) compared to those with a BMI under 25 (7.5%), highlighting a potential 'ob
Objectives: Myocardial infarction without significant stenosis or occlusion of the coronary arteries carries a high risk of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events and poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between body mass index and outcomes in patients with a suspected myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA).
Methods: Patients were recruited at Bergmannsheil University Hospital from January 2010 to April 2021.
Background: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD). Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis are at a very high risk of infection from cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation as well as mortality. In the present study, we compared the long-term complications and outcomes between subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) and transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) recipients.

- The study looked at how helpful a wearable device, called a cardioverter defibrillator, is for patients with inherited and congenital heart diseases.
- Only 18 patients were observed, showing that half were men, and they had various heart issues.
- The results suggest that using this device doesn’t really help most patients with these specific heart problems, as only a few showed any benefits.
