AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how delaying the opening of the infarct-related artery (IRA) impacts late left ventricular remodeling following an acute anterior myocardial infarction (AAMI).
- Sixty-four patients were divided into two groups: one receiving successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the other not receiving PCI, with their heart function monitored at multiple intervals post-AAMI.
- Results indicated that while early metrics like left ventricular function were similar across both groups, those in the successful PCI group experienced significantly less increase in heart chamber sizes and a lower incidence of congestive heart failure events over six months.
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the effect of delayed opening of the infarct-related artery (IRA) by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the late left ventricular remodeling after acute anterior myocardial infarction (AAMI).
Methods: Sixty four patients with initial Q-wave AAMI and with the total occluded IRA conformed by angiogram at 9.1 +/- 2.3 (2 - 14) days after the onset were divided into successful PCI group and control group (not receiving PCI or the IRA not re-opened). Two-D echocardiogram was performed at acute phase (about 3 weeks), 2 and 6 months after onset of AAMI respectively to detect the left ventricular function and left ventricular wall motion abnormality (VWMA). The total congestive heart failure events were recorded during 6 months follow-up.
Results: VWMA scores, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volume indexes (LVEDVI and LVESVI) were similar in 2 groups at acute phase and 2 months after the onset of AAMI. There were no differences between the parameters above at acute phase and 2 months in each group too. VWMA scores and LVEF did not changed significantly at 6 months in each group compared with those at acute phase and 2 months (P > 0.05). But LVEDVI and LVESVI were significantly smaller in the successful PCI group than those in the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). The rate of congestive heart failure events was 19% in control group and 2.0% in successful PCI group (P > 0.05) respectively.
Conclusions: Delayed opening of IRA in AAMI could prevent the late phase but not the early phase of left ventricular remodeling after AMI.

: The utilization of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella has been suggested as means of left ventricular unloading in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients. This study aimed to assess the local hemodynamic alterations in VA-ECMO patients through simulation analyses. : In this study, a 0D-3D multiscale model was developed, wherein resistance conditions were employed to define the flow-pressure relationship.

Aims: This study evaluates whether multi-chamber myocardial deformation analysis using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) can enhance validated current staging systems and improve risk stratification for patients with moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis (AS).
Methods And Results: We reanalyzed 2D, Doppler, and STE data obtained from two cohorts: derivation (654 patients, median age: 82 years; 51% men) and validation (237 patients, median age: 77 years; 55% men) with at least moderate AS (aortic valve area<1.5 cm2).

Thalamic hemorrhage is a type of intracerebral hemorrhage with high disability and mortality rates. Because of its deep bleeding location, irregular shape of the hematoma, and compression of the third ventricle, it is not suitable for craniotomy. This paper reports a case of a 63-year-old male patient who sought medical attention for left-sided basal ganglia and thalamus hemorrhage that broke into the ventricles.
