Background: Data are limited on the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with heart failure with midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF) who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between type 2 DM (T2DM) and 3-year outcomes in such a population.

Methods: A total of 377 ACS patients with HFmrEF (left ventricular EF 40%-49%) who had undergone PCI (132 diabetic and 245 nondiabetic patients) were included in the analysis. The primary outcome was a composite end point of all-cause death or HF rehospitalization. Cox proportional-hazard regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier tests were used to assess the effect of DM on the primary outcome. Sensitivity analysis was conducted with propensity score-matching analysis.

Results: During a follow-up of 3 years, diabetic patients had higher incidence of the primary outcome than nondiabetic patients (96.1 vs 44.6 per 1,000 patient-years, incidence ratio 2.301, 95% CI 1.334-3.969; =0.002). Multivariate analysis showed that DM was associated with a significant increase in the composite outcome of all-cause death or HF rehospitalization (adjusted HR 2.080, 95% CI 1.115-3.878; =0.021). Sensitivity analysis further confirmed that DM was an independent prognostic factor of long-term adverse outcomes for ACS patients with HFmrEF who had undergone PCI (adjusted HR 3.792, 95% CI 1.802-7.980; <0.001).

Conclusion: Among ACS patients with HFmrEF who had undergone PCI, T2DM comorbidity was significantly associated with worse long-term outcomes.

Background: The circadian rhythm of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains disputable and no studies have directly evaluated the relationship between nocturnal hypoxemia and the circadian rhythm of MI. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the association of OSA and nocturnal hypoxemia with MI onset during the night.

Methods: Patients with MI in the OSA-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) project (NCT03362385) were recruited.

Background: Rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding remain high in patients with cancer who are prescribed anticoagulants (ACs) such as low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) after an initial VTE event.

Objectives: To identify patient characteristics associated with VTE recurrence and bleeding in patients receiving LMWH for cancer-associated VTE and to explore secondary AC management and clinical outcomes in these patients.

Methods: An observational study was conducted using nationwide French data for adults with active cancer who were hospitalized with VTE in 2013-2018 and were reimbursed for LMWH ≤ 30 days after hospital discharge.

Acute chest pain is one of the most common reasons for ED visits in the United States. Most patients are eventually admitted to the hospital to "rule out ACS" even when there are no significant EKG abnormalities or elevated cardiac enzymes. In addition to undergoing expensive tests while in the hospital, patients are also exposed to iatrogenic harm thereby worsening the overall healthcare costs.

Background: Ceramide, a key molecule in sphingolipid metabolism, is recognized as a standalone predictor of long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We explore if integrating the global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) score with the ceramide risk score (ceramide test 1, CERT1) improves MACE prediction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: This cohort study included 210 participants with ACS undergoing PCI.

This is a case of a young, 20-year-old, male Navy recruit who was admitted to our healthcare facility with intermittent atypical chest pain and limiting exertional symptoms and was diagnosed with myocardial bridging (MB) as the most likely etiology of his chest after the complete cardiac workup, leading to his career limitations due to potential risks. Our patient presented with atypical chest pain and limiting exertional symptoms. Chest pain was non-radiating.
