High-risk features in non-culprit lesions and clinical outcome after NSTEMI versus STEMI.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of non-culprit (NC) lesions in patients with NSTEMI compared to those with STEMI, focusing on high-risk plaque features and their influence on clinical outcomes.
- Among 438 patients, both NSTEMI and STEMI groups showed similar prevalence of high-risk plaques, but NSTEMI patients had a higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after two years.
- The findings suggest that the presence of high-risk plaques in NC lesions is critical for dictating future cardiovascular events, indicating the need for further research on effective revascularization strategies in NSTEMI patients.
Ciguatera is a common but underreported tropical disease caused by the consumption of coral reef fish contaminated by ciguatoxins. Gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms predominate, but may be accompanied by cardiovascular features such as hypotension and sinus bradycardia. Here, we report an unusual case of junctional bradycardia caused by ciguatera in the Caribbean; to our knowledge, the first such report from the region.
