We describe a case of quick recovery of myocardium damage in a 15-year-old adolescent with subacute thyroiditis. After 1 week of admission, his cardiovascular status began to show signs of improvement accompanied by the recovery of electrocardiogram and indicators of myocardial damage. We speculate that myocardium damage associated with subacute thyroiditis is a complication of common virus, although we did not detect any abnormal virus antibody and deoxyribonucleic acid in the patient's serum.

Hypervitaminosis D leads to toxic effects, including hypercalcemia, which can cause severe damage to various organs. Fetuin-A, a glycoprotein with anti-inflammatory properties, may protect tissues from such damage. This study explores the role of Fetuin-A in mitigating hypervitaminosis D-induced damage in renal, hepatic, and cardiac tissues.

Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins finetune signaling via heterotrimeric G proteins to maintain physiologic homeostasis in various organ systems of the human body including the brain, kidney, heart, and the vasculature. Impaired regulation of G protein signaling by RGS proteins is implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases including various forms of cardiomyopathy such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Both genetic and non-genetic changes that impinge on G protein signaling in cardiomyocytes are implicated in the etiology of DCM, and there is accumulating evidence that such genetic and non-genetic changes affecting G protein signaling in cell types other than cardiomyocytes could serve as a DCM trigger in humans.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, and effectively repairing the heart following myocardial injuries remains a significant challenge. Research has increasingly shown that exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-Exo) can ameliorate myocardial injuries and improve outcomes after such injuries. The therapeutic benefits of MSC-Exo are largely due to their capacity to deliver specific cargo, including microRNAs and proteins.

Programmed cell death, especially programmed necrosis such as necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis, has attracted significant attention recently. Traditionally, necrosis was thought to occur accidentally without signaling pathways, but recent discoveries have revealed that molecular pathways regulate certain forms of necrosis, similar to apoptosis. Accumulating evidence indicates that programmed necrosis is involved in the development of various diseases, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI).

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a critical medical condition that requires immediate attention to minimise heart damage and improve survival rates. Early identification and prompt treatment are essential to save the patient's life. Currently, the treatment strategy focuses on restoring blood flow to the myocardium as quickly as possible.
