Background: After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) according to The Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria have increased risk for ischemic complications. The underlying cause is not well documented. The aim of this study was to assess the ischemic risk among ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients classified as HBR according to the ARC-HBR and to identify individual risk factors.

Anomalous Right Coronary Artery: Culprit or Innocent Bystander?

Case Rep Cardiol

January 2025

Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.

Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery is a rare congenital heart defect. The detection of anomalous coronary arteries is likely to increase with increased availability and application of cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Once detected, the recommendation for surgical intervention on anomalous coronary arteries depends upon patient symptoms, the presence or absence of inducible ischemia on stress imaging, and high-risk anatomic features.

Background: The development of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients hospitalized for non-cardiac indications carries a high mortality rate.

Objectives: Determine the impact of rural vs. urban hospital location and hospital percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) volumes on clinical outcomes.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a crucial role in facilitating electron transport during oxidative phosphorylation, thus contributing to cellular energy production. Statin treatment causes a decrease in CoQ10 levels in muscle tissue as well as in serum, which may contribute to the musculoskeletal side effects. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effect of newly initiated statin treatment on serum CoQ10 levels after acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and the correlation of CoQ10 levels with key biomarkers of subclinical or clinically overt myopathy.
