Seventy-eight patients with prior myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction who underwent nitrate-augmented myocardial tomography were followed for 23 +/- 14 months. Event-free survival was 100% in 34 patients with myocardial viability who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and 53% in those who received medical therapy (p = 0.0008). Of the 44 patients without myocardial viability, event-free survival was not significantly different between patients who underwent CABG and those who received medical therapy (96% vs 90%, p = NS).

This article explored the specific mechanism by which ginsenoside Rg_1 regulates cellular autophagy to attenuate hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R) injury in HL-1 cardiomyocytes through the microRNA155(miR-155)/neurogenic gene Notch homologous protein 1(Notch1)/hairy and enhancer of split 1(Hes1) pathway. An HL-1 cell model with H/R injury was constructed, and ginsenoside Rg_1 and/or Notch1 inhibitor DAPT and miR-155 mimics were used to treat cells. Cell counting kit(CCK)-8 was used to detect the relative viability of HL-1 cells with H/R injury.

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with inflammatory and reparative phases playing critical roles in disease progression. Currently, there is a pressing need for imaging techniques to monitor immune cell infiltration and inflammation activity during these phases. We developed a novel probe, Tc-HYNIC-mAb, utilizing a monoclonal antibody that targets the voltage-gated potassium channel 1.

Objectives: This study intended to explore whether the protective effect safflower yellow injection (SYI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats mediated of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.
Methods: The I/R model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min and then releasing the blood flow for 150 min. 96 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, Hebeishuang group (HBS), SYI high-dose group (I/R + SYI-H), SYI medium-dose group (I/R + SYI-M) and SYI low-dose group (I/R + SYI-L).

Myocardial viability assessment is used to determine if chronically dysfunctional myocardium may benefit from coronary revascularization. Cardiac magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement is the current gold standard for visualizing myocardial scar and provides valuable insight into myocardial viability. Viability assessments can also be made with Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography, Echocardiography, Single Photon Emission Tomography, and Cardiac Computed Tomography with each having advantages and disadvantages.
