Background: Managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease on dialysis (renal replacement therapy, RRT) presents challenges due to elevated complication risks. Concerns about contrast-related kidney damage may lead to the omission of guideline-directed therapies like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in this population.
Methods: We analysed German-DRG data of 2016 provided by the German Federal Bureau of Statistics (DESTATIS).
Background: Various studies have documented gender differences in the management and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in developed countries. Gender differences in the management of AMI in India is not known.
Objectives: To document the gender differences in the management and outcomes of AMI in India.

Background: The role of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the treatment of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains uncertain.
Aims: We aimed to compare the effect of rivaroxaban versus warfarin in patients with STEMI complicated by LVT.
Methods: Adult patients with STEMI and two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showing LVT were assigned to rivaroxaban (15 mg once daily) or warfarin (international normalised ratio goal of 2.

Background: The red cell distribution width (RDW) has been investigated as a predictive factor for complications and mortality in several critical illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases.
Objective: The current study aimed to assess the relationship of RDW with severity and in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Materials And Methods: A prospective hospital-based observational study was conducted at a tertiary care institute of Northern India.
