Unlabelled: Aim of the study was to determine association between clinical-anamnestic factors and degree of progression of atherosclerotic process in magistral noncocronary arteries during one year after ST-elevation (STE) myocardial infarction (MI).
Material: We included into this study 168 men (mean age 59.5 years) with STEMI subjected during hospitalization to coronary angiography and duplex color scanning of brachiocephalic arteries and main arteries of lower extremities. In a year we performed repeat ultrasound examination of same noncoronary arteries and assessed development of vascular complications.
Results: Greatest degree of atherosclerosis progression in noncoronary arteries was registered in patients older than 60 years, with hypertension, presence of atherosclerotic stenoses in noncoronary vascular beds at initial examination, those who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, and patients with higher levels of total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol at examination after 12 months post MI.

Aim: To assess the diagnostic potential of a noncoronary-dedicated pre-TAVR CT angiography (CTA) conducted as a prospective ECG-gated scan without premedication and standard cardiac reconstructions in evaluating bystander coronary artery disease (CAD) against invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the gold standard.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 232 patients who underwent both CTA and ICA as part of their pre-TAVR evaluation. Exclusion criteria included prior stent, pacemaker, coronary artery bypass, or valve surgery.

The patient an 85-year-old female resided in a care facility where she maintained an independent daily activity level. She was discovered hunched over a table in her room, displaying reduced responsiveness and prompting an emergency call. Initially, her blood pressure was within 60 mmHg, and she was transported by ambulance to our hospital.

Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction is an important pathological feature of early calcification in diabetic plaques. Argininosuccinic synthase 1 (Ass1) is important in protecting EC activity. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of endothelial Ass1 on calcification in diabetic plaques and its potential regulatory mechanism.

Background: Coronary obstruction (CO) is a fatal complication in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, data on the outcomes and details of coronary protection (CP) use in TAVR are limited.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the patients who had undergone CP during TAVR at our tertiary cardiac center from March 2017 to January 2024.

Background: Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) and type 2 myocardial infarction (MI), both presenting as non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI), are often grouped together due to overlapping symptoms. The aim of our study is to compare their characteristics and prognosis to distinguish between them.
Methods: Among 7815 patients with NSTEMI who underwent coronary angiography between 2005 and 2022 we identified 538 patients with diagnosis of MINOCA (n = 301; 3,9 %) and type 2 MI (n = 237; 3 %).
