Physical activity improves myocardial structure, function and resilience via complex, incompletely defined mechanisms. We explored effects of 1-2 wks swim training on cardiac and systemic phenotype in young male C57Bl/6 mice. Two wks forced swimming (90 min twice daily) resulted in cardiac hypertrophy (22% increase in heart:body weight, P<0.

Myocardial viability assessment is used to determine if chronically dysfunctional myocardium may benefit from coronary revascularization. Cardiac magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement is the current gold standard for visualizing myocardial scar and provides valuable insight into myocardial viability. Viability assessments can also be made with Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography, Echocardiography, Single Photon Emission Tomography, and Cardiac Computed Tomography with each having advantages and disadvantages.

Background: Cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction is associated with a high mortality rate. Cardiogenic shock after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can be due to transient myocardial stunning but also reflect the increasing severity of ongoing heart failure. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) proposed a division of cardiogenic shock into 5 phenotypes, with cardiac arrest being a modifier.

Right Ventricular Myocardial Infarctions.

Cardiol Rev

December 2024

From the New York Medical College, School of Medicine, Valhalla, NY.

Acute isolated right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarctions are relatively uncommon in clinical practice; more frequently, RV infarctions occur in association with inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions. Recent advances in diagnostic tools and methods have significantly improved our ability to detect RV infarctions in both scenarios. For this reason, it is critical for physicians to understand the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic criteria for RV infarctions to initiate treatment and optimize the outcomes of patients.

Purpose: S-equol, an isoflavone metabolite with high estrogenic activity, exhibits organ-protective effects via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway. While estrogen has cardioprotective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury, whether S-equol shares this capability remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the cardioprotective effects of S-equol on stunned myocardium using an isolated rat heart model and investigate the involvement of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
