Background: Diabetes is a major cause of heart disease. Death rate for heart disease is about 2-4 times higher among adults with diabetes then among those without diabetes. In setting of acute Myocardial infarction hyperglycemia is associated with adverse out come even after numerous "cardiac" variable linked to the outcome are adjusted. Elevated plasma glucose at admission is predictor of long term and in hospital outcome in patients with acute Myocardial infarction. After acute myocardial infarction high admission blood glucose level are common with increased risk of death in subjects with or without diabetes. The objective of study was to determine the frequency of newly diagnosis diabetes presenting with acute myocardial infarction.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in department of Cardiology, Ayub Teaching Hospital from June to November 2014. All patients admitted to coronary care unit with acute myocardial infarction and who were not known diabetics were enrolled by consecutive non probability sampling. Patients of either gender were included Hospital. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the frequency of newly diagnosed diabetics.
Result: Out of 91 enrolled patients in our study, 60 (65.9%) were male, 31 (34.1%) were female. 27 (29.6%) patients were newly diagnosed diabetics.
Conclusion: The frequency of newly diagnosed diabetics is quite high in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Hence all patients were not known diabetics and present with acute myocardial infarction should be screened for new onset of diabetes.

Risk Factors for Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Med Internet Res

Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), significantly affecting prognosis during hospitalization. Early identification of high-risk patients is essential to reduce complications, improve outcomes, and guide clinical decision-making.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting in-hospital GIB in patients with AMI, identify key risk factors, and evaluate the clinical applicability of the model for risk stratification and decision support.

Right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) is a significant and distinct form of acute myocardial infarction associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. It occurs most commonly due to proximal right coronary artery obstruction, often in conjunction with inferior myocardial infarction. RVMI poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to the anatomical and functional differences between the right and left ventricles.

Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) is a well-established therapy for end-stage heart failure that leads to improved long-term survival rates, with careful allograft surveillance essential for optimizing clinical outcomes after OHT. Unfortunately, complications can arise after OHT that can compromise the success of the OHT. Cardiac MRI is continually evolving, with a range of advanced techniques that can be applied to evaluate allograft structure and function.
