Among patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), abnormal cardiac biomarkers and elevated right ventricular to left ventricular (RV/LV) diameter ratio are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, subjects with baseline heart failure (HF) have abnormalities in cardiac chamber dimensions and biomarkers. We sought to describe risk stratification variables in a cohort with acute PE and categorized HF status as no HF, HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), or HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

- Intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) occurs in about 40% of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and is linked to worse health outcomes, such as higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
- A study analyzed data from 18 studies with over 2800 STEMI patients, finding significant associations between IMH, increased infarct size, and impaired heart function.
- Factors like male sex, smoking, and specific types of infarcts were identified as predictors for developing IMH in STEMI patients.
