Background: Plasma lipids may be altered during acute myocardial infarction and may not reflect patient baseline lipid profile. The metabolism of chylomicrons, the lipoproteins that carry the dietary lipids in the bloodstream has not yet been studied in acute myocardial infarction patients.

Methods: In this study, a lipidic emulsion that mimics the intravascular behavior of chylomicrons labeled with cholesteryl oleate ((3)H-CO) was injected intravenously in 17 normolipidemic patients on the seventh and on the 45th day post-non complicated acute myocardial infarction after a 12-h fast. The plasma decay curve of the emulsion label was determined from blood samples collected during 60 min. Data were also compared with a group of 10 patients with chronic coronary artery disease.

Results: In the acute myocardial infarction group, the plasma fractional catabolic rates of the emulsion (3)H-CO, expressed as median and confidence intervals, did not change from the seventh to the 45th day after the acute event [0.0773 (0.061, 0.1025) min(-1) vs. 0.0672 (0.00507, 0.1009) min(-1) P=0.61] and was similar to that determined in chronic coronary artery disease patients. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein AI were lower on the seventh day when compared to the 45th day post acute myocardial infarction (P=0.01 and P=0.004, respectively). No changes were found in LDL and total cholesterol as well as in plasma triglycerides in myocardial infarction group.

Conclusions: No changes were found in chylomicron metabolism is in the acute phase of myocardial infarction.

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of indobufen in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and thromboembolic disorders. The primary focus is on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), thrombosis, bleeding events, and adverse reactions. The results are intended to provide a reference for the clinical application of indobufen and suggest directions for further large-scale, multi-center, prospective studies.

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Faculty of Medicine, Bezmialem Vakif University, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Aim: This study aimed to protect brain functions in patients who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest through the application of local cerebral hypothermia. By utilizing a specialized thermal hypothermia device, this approach sought to mitigate ischemic brain injury associated with post-cardiac arrest syndrome, enhance survival rates, and improve neurological outcomes as measured by standardized scales.

Methods: A prospective, single-center cohort study was conducted involving patients aged ≥18 years who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest and achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Background: Depression is being increasingly acknowledged as an important risk factor contributing to coronary heart disease (CHD). Currently, there is no predictive model specifically designed to evaluate the risk of coronary heart disease among individuals with depression. We aim to develop a machine learning (ML) model that will analyze risk factors and forecast the probability of coronary heart disease in individuals suffering from depression.

Objectives: The significant correlation between acute myocardial infarction and subsequent hepatorenal dysfunction could result in a higher mortality rate in patients. The study aimed to evaluate the effect and mechanisms of coenzyme-Q10 (Q10) administration on hepatorenal dysfunction in an isoprenaline (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction model in rats.

Materials And Methods: Twenty male rats were assigned into four groups (n = 5).
