Cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease. A recent analysis from the High-Sensitivity Troponin in the Evaluation of Patients With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome trial focused on results in those with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate. This commentary discusses aspects of acute coronary syndrome diagnosis in this group and the differential approach to acute coronary syndrome management that was observed between those with normal and reduced kidney function.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine - Shengzhou People's Hospital (Shengzhou Branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, the Shengzhou Hospital of Shaoxing University), Zhejiang - China.

Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a common and severe form of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels with the severity of STEMI and their predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in STEMI patients.

Methods: The retrospective study was conducted on 269 STEMI patients who underwent PCI.

Capillary refill time paradoxically decreases in a blood loss shock model.

Intensive Care Med Exp

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine in Linköping, and Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, Linköping University, 582 25, Linköping, Sweden.

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether changes in capillary refill (CR) time precede macrovascular signs of deterioration in a human model of blood loss shock. The study was conducted at the Department of Emergency Medicine in Linköping, Sweden, and involved 42 healthy volunteers aged 18-45. Participants were randomized into two provocations of applied lower body negative pressure (LBNP): a stepwise escalation protocol and a direct application protocol, to simulate gradual and acute blood loss.
