Background And Aims: Hyperglycemia at hospital admission is a common finding in patients with STEMI. However, whether elevated acute glycemia in these patients may have a direct impact on worsening prognosis or is just a marker of a greater neurohormonal activation in response to the infarction is still unsettled. We sought to investigate the prognostic impact of hyperglycemia at hospital admission in patients undergoing primary PCI (pPCI) for STEMI, and the influence of the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) on its prognostic impact.
Methods: and Results, We enrolled 2958 consecutive STEMI patients treated by pPCI. Hyperglycemia was defined as plasma glucose >198 mg/dL (or >11 mmol/L). Patients with hyperglycemia showed a greater risk-profile; they also experienced a higher mortality both at univariable (17.6% vs 5.2%, p < 0.001) and multivariable (HR 1.9, 95%IC 1.5-2.9, p = 0.001) analysis. However, after stratification for DM presence, hyperglycemia resulted as an independent predictor of mortality only in patients without DM (HR 2, 95%IC 1.2-3.4, p = 0.01).
Conclusion: Hyperglycemia in the setting of myocardial infarction treated with primary PCI in an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients without diabetes; in patients with diabetes, its prognostic impact seems attenuated.

: In patients with acute coronary syndrome, electrocardiographic parameters, including ST elevation in lead aVR (aVR-STE), ST depression (aVR-STD), and QTc prolongation, are crucial. This study aims to show the predictive value of a longer QTc in emergency department patients with acute coronary syndrome and ≥1 mm ST elevation or depression in the aVR lead in electrocardiography. : A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1273 patients admitted to the emergency department with a preliminary diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome between 2020 and 2023.

: Available data suggest the diagnostic potential of testing microRNAs (miRs) in myocardial infarction, but their prognostic value remains unclear. To evaluate the prognostic value of circulating miRs (miR-1, miR-21, miR-133a, miR-208 and miR-499) for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiovascular rehospitalization, in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). Our prospective, single-center, observational study included patients (pts) with NSTE-ACS admitted <24 h after symptoms onset and pts with confirmed stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) as controls.

: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, primarily caused by acute thrombosis over atherosclerotic plaques. Simultaneous acute thrombosis in two coronary arteries is an exceptionally rare event. This report highlights a unique case of STEMI associated with cardiogenic shock due to dual coronary artery thrombosis and provides insights from a literature review on this rare condition.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) constitutes a major health problem with high mortality rates worldwide. In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), no-reflow phenomenon is a condition that adversely affects response to therapy. Previous studies have demonstrated that the CALLY index, calculated using C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and lymphocytes, is a reliable indicator of mortality in patients with non-cardiac diseases.
