Circadian rhythms have been described both for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sudden death. In this study the diurnal distribution of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with AMI was analyzed. Ninety-four AMI patients with greater than or equal to 1 VT on Holter electrocardiographic monitoring who were not taking antiarrhythmic drugs were studied. Forty-seven patients had a recent AMI (group A) and 47 an old AMI (group B). Chronobiologic analysis was made by single cosinor method. There were 157 VTs (mean 1.67 VTs/patient, range 1 to 10) in the 94 patients: 70 in group A and 87 in group B. A significant circadian rhythm of VT was found in the total population with acrophase at 2:29 P.M. The hourly distribution of VT showed a tendency to bimodality, which seemed due to a different time of peak VT occurrence in group A (significant rhythm with acrophase at 4:40 P.M.) and group B (significant rhythm with acrophase at 12:39 P.M.). Thus, the hourly VT frequency in patients with AMI has a significant circadian variation with the highest occurrence in the awake hours, similar to the rhythms described for AMI and sudden death.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of "Internet Plus" remote management in enhancing cardiac rehabilitation outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A total of 101 AMI patients post-PCI from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital were included between December 2021 and November 2022. Patients were retrospectively categorized into two groups based on the type of care they received: the control group receiving standard post-PCI rehabilitation, and the observation group receiving remote management via "Internet Plus" for six months.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the influence of acquiring medical record information and laboratory data on the sensitivity of detecting imaging findings among Japanese radiological technologists (RTs). RTs were presented with patient's information in three distinct sequences for detecting imaging findings. True positives (TP) were identified and categorized into three groups: Group 1 (image + chief complaint), Group 2 (image + chief complaint + medical record), and Group 3 (image + chief complaint + medical record + laboratory data).

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a cardiovascular disease featuring the narrowing and hardening of coronary arteries triggered by a combination of factors, which ultimately leads to the death of heart muscle. We retrieved the GSE109048 and GSE123342 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. After integrating these datasets, we selected 154 module key genes with the help of weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA).

Acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is a severe, life-threatening condition characterised by inadequate tissue perfusion due to the heart's inability to pump blood effectively. The pathophysiology of AMI-CS usually arises from the sudden loss of myocardial contractility, leading to a decrease in cardiac output and systemic hypoperfusion. In approximately 90% of AMI-CS cases, the left ventricle is the primary site of dysfunction.
