The purpose of the study was to prospectively evaluate a T1-weighted technique for detection of myocardial edema resulting from recent myocardial infarction (MI) or intervention. This study was HIPAA compliant and institutional review board approved. Fifteen men and one woman (mean age, 57.8 years+/-11.5 [standard deviation]) were examined with T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and inversion-recovery cine pulse sequence in two groups, recent MI and chronic MI, and gave informed consent. T1 relaxation times of MI and adjacent myocardium were compared (Student t test and correlation analysis). In patients with recent MI, areas of myocardial edema were well depicted with T1-weighted MR imaging. T1 relaxation times of recent infarcts were longer than those of older MIs (925 msec+/-169 vs 551 msec+/-107, P<.001). From local edema, T1 relaxation time of infarcted myocardium is increased, may remain elevated for 2 months, and enables imaging with T1-weighted techniques.

Background: Interventricular septal dissection is a critical disease characterized by the separation of the intraventricular septum into two layers, forming an intermediate layer with a cystic cavity that communicates with the root of the aorta or ventricle. It has low morbidity and high mortality rates.
Case Presentation: Case 1: A 58-year-old male with a history of hypertension and smoking presented to a local hospital due to chest tightness and pain for 4 days.

Programmed necrosis/necroptosis greatly contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiac disorders including myocardial infarction, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and heart failure. However, the fundamental mechanism underlying myocardial necroptosis, especially the mitochondria-dependent death pathway, is poorly understood. Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1), a Ca sensor, is originally identified in nervous system and mediates synchronous neurotransmitter release.

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and depression are related to each other. Detection and proper treatment of these conditions can improve functional ability and quality of life. However, there is still controversy in this population regarding the use, safety, and efficacy of antidepressant pharmacotherapy.

To develop a predictive model for improvement of ejection fraction 1 year after heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) following acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This nested case-control study included STEMI patients diagnosed with HFrEF from a prospective multicenter multimodality imaging cohort between August 2014 and March 2021. Based on the improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at baseline and 1-year follow-up, the patients were classified into the heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) group and the persistent HFrEF group.
