Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of high mortality worldwide. Long non-coding RNA myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT) and mitochondrial coupling factor 6 (CF6) aggravate MI. This study aimed to elucidate whether miR-203 interacted with MIAT and CF6 in MI. Results revealed that MIAT and CF6 expressions were upregulated and that miR-203 was downregulated in mouse myocardial tissues after MI, as well as in hypoxic mouse cardiomyocytes. The overexpression of MIAT in mouse cardiomyocytes raised CF6 expression, whereas the knockdown of MIAT had the opposite effect. Mechanistically, the luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays corroborated the binding between miR-203 and CF6 3'UTR and between miR-203 and MIAT. The simultaneous overexpression of miR-203 and MIAT restored the reduction of CF6 caused by miR-203 overexpression alone, and the overexpression of miR-203 diminished the percentage of infarct area and the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in vivo. Our findings corroborate that overexpressing miR-203 alleviates MI via interacting with MIAT and CF6.

Globally, the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasing, accounting for a third of all deaths worldwide including myocardial infarctions (MIs) which represent the most severe clinical manifestation of CAD and are among the most dangerous coronary events. Therefore, this study aims to assess the knowledge of symptoms and risk factors of MIs, as well as attitudes and beliefs regarding MIs and confidence in recognizing CAD symptoms in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between November 2023 and April 2024 to assess their knowledge and beliefs about CAD and MIs.

This study explored the early diagnosis and prognostic value of copeptin in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). 171 patients with chest pain or myocardial ischemia symptoms were enrolled. Patients with NSTE-ACS were further divided into the non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA).

Coronary heart disease (CHD) has been recognized as a chronic progressive inflammatory disorder, and Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for the pathogenesis of CHD. Recent research has underscored the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a potent prognostic indicator for individuals suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to delve into the relationship between SII and the degree of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis in non-acute myocardial infarction patients with or without DM.
