Acute coronary syndromes are a major disease burden and the prognosis has improved over the last decades due to improvement of medical and interventional treatments. Novel P2Y12-ADP-receptor antagonists have been introduced into clinical treatment offering more potent and rapid onset of action with the downside of increased bleeding risk. This special report will focus on interindividual variability of antiplatelet drugs in the setting of acute coronary syndromes and the current impact and potential future of point-of-care testing to personalize therapy aiming to improve prognosis in acute coronary syndrome patients.

Prognostic value of TIMI risk score combined with systemic immune-inflammation index and lipoprotein(a) in patients with ST-Segment elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Background: Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). This study aimed to develop a prediction model based on the TIMI risk score for MACE in STEMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective data analysis on 290 acute STEMI patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from January 2022 to June 2023 and met the inclusion criteria.

Kounis syndrome also known as allergic myocardial infarction, represents the simultaneous occurrence of acute coronary syndromes with allergic or hypersensitivity reactions. We present a case of a 58-years-old male who developed anaphylaxis following a leech bite, leading to myocardial infarction despite the absence of prior allergic history. He was entubated and cardiopulmonary resusciation had been performed for 10 minutes.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and mitigating oxidative stress is crucial in managing MI. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays a critical role in combating oxidative stress and facilitating cardiac remodeling post-MI. Here, we engineered Cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticle-guided assemblies of ceria/Nrf2 nanocomposites to deliver Nrf2 plasmids.

In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has been understudied relative to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Further, studies of IHCA have mainly focused on a limited number of pre-arrest patient characteristics (e.g.

Most patients are eventually admitted to the hospital to "rule out ACS" even when there are no significant EKG abnormalities or elevated cardiac enzymes. In addition to undergoing expensive tests while in the hospital, patients are also exposed to iatrogenic harm thereby worsening the overall healthcare costs.
