Background: Thyroid hormone (TH) appears to have a reparative action on the postinfarcted myocardium. This novel action was recently tested in a pilot, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ThyRepair). The present study performed a analysis of data from the ThyRepair study to provide further insights into the novel actions of TH on the human postischemic myocardium.

Thyroid hormone has a differential action on healthy and ischemic heart. Triiodothyronine (T3) administration improved postischemic cardiac function while it limited apoptosis in experimentally induced ischemia. Thus, the present study investigated the potential effects of acute liothyronine (LT3) treatment in patients with anterior myocardial infarction.

- The Greek Myocarditis Registry was established to gather data on myocarditis symptoms, treatments, and prognostic factors, contributing to the limited existing knowledge in Greece.
- From December 2015 to November 2017, 146 patient hospitalizations were analyzed; most patients had an infection before hospitalization, with chest pain and tachycardia being the most common symptoms.
- The study found improvements in left ventricular function during hospitalization, and treatment primarily involved beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors, although biopsy procedures were rare.
