Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of peri-procedural myocardial injury (PPMI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using the updated VARC-3 criteria compared to the previous VARC-2 criteria.
- High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels were assessed pre- and post-procedure, with elevated baseline levels being significant predictors of all-cause mortality and major cardiac adverse events within one year post-TAVI.
- The findings indicate that VARC-3 criteria offered better prognostic insights regarding patient outcomes, with patients meeting VARC-3 criteria experiencing higher mortality rates than those meeting VARC-2 criteria.
Impact of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) complicating ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains clinically challenging. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of NOAF, identify risk factors for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), and analyze the impact on patient care, therapy, and outcomes during long-term follow-up.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study reviewed consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) for acute STEMI between May 2015 and September 2023.
Background And Aim: The possible clinical utility of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 10 (BMP10), a novel atrial-specific biomarker, is incompletely understood. We aimed to test the hypothesis that BMP10 has high diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in patients presenting with acute dyspnea.
Methods And Results: In a multicenter diagnostic study, BMP10, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations were determined in patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the emergency department.
