Background: The Managed Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction Survivors (MACAMIS) program introduced for patients after myocardial infarction (MI) consists of 4 modules including early cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
Aims: We compared the impact of CR on survival of patients after MI included in the MACAMIS program.
Methods: Patients in MACAMIS were divided into subgroups based on being qualified or not qual-ified for CR and on whether they completed or failed to complete CR. We evaluated one-, two-, and three-year mortality.
Results: Of 244 patients in MACAMIS, 174 patients were qualified for CR. They were younger, had less advanced coronary artery disease (CAD), higher ejection fraction (EF), and fewer comorbidities. Finally, 102 (58.6%) patients completed CR. These patients were younger and more likely to have STEMI; they were more often treated invasively, with no differences in comorbidity burden. The survival rates at one, two, and three years were 93.6%, 87.8%, and 65.0%, respectively. Patients who qualified for CR had a better prognosis. The mortality rates at one, two, and three years were 2.38% vs. 16.18% (P = 0.0003), 6.71% vs. 25.4% (P = 0.002), and 26.87% vs. 51.35% (P = 0.01), respectively. Patients who completed CR, again, had a significantly better prognosis. The mortality rate was 1% vs. 10.29% (P = 0.009), 4.17% vs. 17.56% (P = 0.002), and 23.33% vs. 40.54% (P = 0.09) in analyzed periods. The only independent factors related to survival were completion of CR and number of comorbidities.
Conclusions: Patients with MI in the MACAMIS program had better prognosis when participating in CR. After completing the MACAMIS program, increased mortality was observed in the following years. Despite the flexibility of the CR program, the proportion of patients who qualified and completed CR remained low.

Aims: Exposure to air pollution including diesel engine exhaust (DEE) is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Few studies have investigated the risk of AMI according to occupational exposure to DEE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between occupational exposure to DEE and the risk of first-time AMI.

Background: Gout is a metabolic disease caused by decreased blood uric acid excretion and purine metabolism disorders. Long-term and persistent metabolic dysfunction gradually affects other organ functions and is the main factor inducing Myocardial Infarction (MI) and Heart Failure (HF), seriously affecting the health of patients. This study adopts a meta-analysis to analyze the risk of MI and HF in gout patients.

Purpose: Cardiomyocyte death is a major cytopathologic response in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and involves complex inflammatory interactions. Although existing reports indicating that mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) is involved in macrophage necroptosis and inflammasome activation, the downstream mechanism of MLKL in necroptosis remain poorly characterized in AMI.
Methods: MLKL knockout mice (MLKL), RIPK3 knockout mice (RIPK3), and macrophage-specific MLKL conditional knockout mice (MLKL) were established.

Background: European guidelines recommend the prescription of certain drugs after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The existence of gender differences in pharmacological treatment after an AMI has been described. This study aims to describe and analyse, using real-world data (RWD), whether there are gender differences in the prescribing patterns and initiation of treatment in secondary prevention after a first AMI, and which are the factors that explain these differences.
