Background: In recent years, several studies have demonstrated that stress hyperglycemia is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In the present study, we aimed to investigate the potential associations between various markers of stress hyperglycemia, such as admission blood glucose (ABG), fasting blood sugar (FBS), and stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) with different definitions, and the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events in patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Our study enrolled a total of 1099 patients diagnosed with STEMI who underwent PCI from 2016 to 2021.

Background: MAVERIC (Mitral Valve Repair Clinical Trial) validates the safety and efficacy of the ARTO system. We here report the first two successful cases of utilizing the ARTO system in patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in Asia.
Methods: Two patients, aged 70 and 63, had severe HF with FMR.

Article Synopsis
- The NeoChord procedure is a new, minimally invasive surgery for repairing degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) caused by mitral valve prolapse, specifically reported in four cases in mainland China.
- Four patients aged 60 to 86 underwent the procedure, which involved the implantation of artificial chordae and was guided by advanced imaging techniques.
- All patients showed improvement with only mild to moderate MR post-surgery, and no complications were reported, suggesting that this technique is a viable option for Chinese patients with similar conditions.
