The radio-angiographic features of coronary blood flow were studied in 119 patients in the first 24 hours of a macrofocal myocardial infarction. In 100 (84%) patients with recognized occlusion of the coronary artery responsible for the infarction the semeiotics of the occluding coronary thrombosis is described, and the characteristics of the residual stenoses after intracoronary thrombolysis were studied. In more than 60% of cases the radiographic features of these stenoses were found to be similar to those of primarily revealed stenoses responsible for infarction of the coronary arteries in degree, form, and the presence of mural thrombus. The mechanism of the formation of these stenoses was of a common character--lysis of the occluding thrombus, which was medicinal in the first case and spontaneous in the second. Medicinal thrombolysis is an analogue of the natural physiological mechanism--spontaneous coronary thrombolysis. It was established that the process of medicinal lysis of the coronary thrombus, a mural thrombus among others, is fully completed by the end of the second day of myocardial infarction. The obtained information makes it possible to formulate some principles of radiologically-guided intravascular treatment of patients with myocardial infarction.

Background: Established risk models may not be applicable to patients at higher cardiovascular risk with a measured Lp(a) (lipoprotein[a]) level, a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Methods: This was a model development study. The data source was the Nashville Biosciences Lp(a) data set, which includes clinical data from the Vanderbilt University Health System.

Aims: Evidence regarding the safety of early discharge following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of very early (<24) and early discharge (24-48 h) as compared to standard discharge (>48 h), supported by the implementation of a voice-based virtual assistant using artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing.

Methods And Results: Single-arm prospective observational study that included consecutive patients who underwent TAVI in a tertiary hospital in 2023 and were discharged under an AI follow-up programme.

Spirometric pattern and cardiovascular risk: a prospective study of 0.3 million Chinese never-smokers.

Lancet Reg Health West Pac

January 2025

Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Peking University, Beijing 100191, China.

Background: Existing studies have not provided robust evidence about the CVD risk of non-smoking patients with restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) or airflow obstruction (AFO), and how the risk is modified by body shape. We aimed to bridge the gap.

Methods: We used never-smokers' data from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) and performed Cox models by sex (278,953 females and 50,845 males).

The association of closed-collaborative SICU modeling on emergency general surgery patient outcomes.

September 2023

Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, 4301 West Markham St. Slot 520-1, Little Rock, AR 72205, United States.

Objective: Surgical intensive care unit (SICU) optimization is a critical factor impacting patient outcomes and resource utilization. SICUs operate using an open or closed model, where the surgeon or intensivist, respectively, manages critically-ill patients. In 2017, we adopted a closed-collaborative model.

Background: Exosomes sourced from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EXOs) have become a promising therapeutic tool for sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD). Our previous study demonstrated that Apelin pretreatment enhanced the therapeutic benefit of MSCs in myocardial infarction by improving their paracrine effects. This study aimed to determine whether EXOs sourced from Apelin-pretreated MSCs (Apelin-MSC-EXOs) would have potent cardioprotective effects against SMD and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
