The prothrombotic effect of malignant diseases on organism is commonly known. We review the documentation of the Medical Department in Liptovsky Mikulas filed in years 1996-2002 (15,512 patients). 120 patients suffered from significantly coinciding acute myocardial infarction and malignant diseases (p = 0.05). In 17 of them the correlation was possible; in 38 it was probable. Most common were the tumours of digestive organs, uropoetic system and oncohematological diseases. The acute myocardial infarction usually preceded the diagnosis of malignant diseases. Under certain conditions, e.g. under that of paraneoplastic syndrome, some acute myocardial infarctions can serve as a hint that it is necessary to assume and solve also possible presence of occult malignancies (Fig. 1, Re of 46).

Hemostatic resuscitation is a mainstay in the management of trauma patients. Factors such as blood loss and tissue injury contribute to coagulation and hemodynamic status imbalances. Hemorrhage remains a leading cause of death in trauma patients, despite advances in strategies such as damage control surgery, massive transfusion protocol, and intensive care.

Cardiogenic shock is not a singular disease but rather a complex syndrome - characterized by systemic hypoperfusion, elevated intracardiac pressures, and insufficient cardiac output due to various possible underlying causes, leading to an acute, life-threatening, and critical condition.Significant advancements have been made in recent years in understanding the epidemiology, clinical course, phenotyping, hemodynamics, and the standardized classification of disease severity. However, progress in therapeutic interventions aimed at improving prognosis has been comparatively limited, with only a few therapies demonstrating significant evidence in randomized controlled trials.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognised cause of acute coronary syndrome predominantly affecting women (>90% of cases) that is frequently associated with other arteriopathies, such as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and migraine. We present a case of multi-vessel SCAD in a woman in her 40s presenting with myocardial infarction in whom incidental widespread FMD was found, including a massive right renal artery aneurysm requiring ex vivo resection, repair and autotransplantation. The case underscores the need for routine angiographic screening for FMD, which has a shared genetic risk with SCAD, and is associated with aneurysms, stenoses and hypertension.

Background: Observational studies have reported that sleep is associated with the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the causal relationships among various sleep traits remain contentious, and whether MDD mediates the impact of specific sleep traits on CVDs is unclear.
Methods: We performed two-sample Mendelian randomisation analyses to explore whether insomnia, sleep time, daytime napping, daytime sleepiness, chronotype, snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea were causally associated with the risk of five CVDs, including coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation and stroke.
Periprocedural and Long-Term Outcomes of Carotid Stent Placement in Patients with Very Severe Carotid Artery Stenosis vs Carotid Near Occlusion with Full Collapse: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis.

Purpose: To compare the periprocedural and 5-year outcomes between patients with very severe stenosis (80%-99% stenosis) and those with carotid near occlusion (CNO) with full collapse.
Materials And Methods: Data from patients with very severe stenosis and CNO with full collapse who underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS) at our center were retrospectively analyzed from January 2018 to December 2021. Unmatched and propensity score-matched (PSM) comparisons of periprocedural complications and 5-year follow-up rates for in-stent restenosis, ipsilateral ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and mortality were conducted between the two groups.
