Early identification and treatment of high-risk coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main goal of current cardiovascular disease treatments. Speckle-tracking ultrasound technology can quantify myocardial work using pressure-strain loops. Because myocardial work takes into account the effect of the left ventricular systolic function afterload, it can more objectively reflect left ventricular myocardial mechanical function than the overall left ventricular longitudinal strain. Therefore, this technique is more widely used in diseases caused by CAD. This article reviews the evaluation and prediction of different CAD types using a variety of myocardial work parameters and provides a new method for clinical research to assess myocardial function, which is expected to become a new prediction method for CAD.

Purpose: We designed a study investigating the cardioprotective role of sleep apnea (SA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), focusing on its association with infarct size and coronary collateral circulation.
Methods: We recruited adults with AMI, who underwent Level-III SA testing during hospitalization. Delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was performed to quantify AMI size (percent-infarcted myocardium).
Evidence and perspectives on miRNA, circRNA, and lncRNA in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury: a bibliometric study.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Beijing Institute of Heart, Lung, and Blood Vessel Diseases, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100069, China.
Objective: miRNA, circRNA, and lncRNA play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and progression of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI). This study aims to provide valuable insights into miRNA, circRNA, lncRNA, and MI/RI from a bibliometric standpoint, with the goal of fostering further advancements in this area.
Methods: The relevant literature in the field of miRNA, circRNA, lncRNA, and MI/RI was retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database within Web of Science.
miRNA-541-5p regulates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by targeting ferroptosis.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China.
Background: This article aims to use high-throughput sequencing to identify miRNAs associated with ferroptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, select a target miRNA, and investigate its role in H9C2 cells hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.
Methods: SD rats and H9C2 cells were used as subjects. ELISA kits quantified MDA, SOD, GSH, LDH, and ferritin levels.
Initial Decline in Glomerular Filtration Rate With Finerenone in HFmrEF/HFpEF: A Prespecified Analysis of FINEARTS-HF.
J Am Coll Cardiol
January 2025
British Heart Foundation Cardiovascular Research Centre, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, United Kingdom. Electronic address:
Background: An initial decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) often leads to reluctance to continue life-saving therapies in patients with heart failure (HF).
Objectives: The goal of this study was to describe the association between initial decline in eGFR and subsequent clinical outcomes in patients randomized to placebo or finerenone.
Methods: In this prespecified analysis of FINEARTS-HF (Finerenone Trial to Investigate Efficacy and Safety Superior to Placebo in Patients with Heart Failure), we examined the association between initial decline in eGFR (≥15%) from randomization to 1 month and subsequent outcomes in patients assigned to finerenone or placebo.
Elevated Septal Native T1 Time in CMR Imaging Suggesting Myocardial Fibrosis in Young Kidney Transplant Recipients.
J Cardiovasc Magn Reson

Department of Pediatric Kidney, Liver and Metabolic Diseases, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Carl-Neuberg-Str. 1, 30625 Hannover, Germany. Electronic address:
Background: Patients after kidney transplantation (KTx) in childhood show a high prevalence of cardiac complications, but the underlying mechanism is still poorly understood. In adults, myocardial fibrosis detected in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is already an established risk factor. Data for children after KTx are not available.
