AI Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the link between specific genetic polymorphisms and ST elevation Myocardial Infarction in young Mexican individuals, involving 350 patients under 45 and 350 matched controls.
- The A1166C polymorphism was found to significantly increase the risk of Myocardial Infarction, while G20210A, G1691A, 97G > T, and A1298C did not show a similar association.
- Other factors like dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking, and family history were also linked to increased risks, indicating that genetic variations might contribute to early cardiovascular issues, but more research is needed on gene interactions.
Article Abstract
Background: Previous studies had identified genetic variants associated with Myocardial Infarction, but results are inconclusive. We examined the association between FII G20210A (rs1799963), FV G1691A (rs6025), FXIII 97G > T (rs11466016), ATR1 A1166C (rs5186) and MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphisms and ST elevation Myocardial Infarction in young Mexican individuals.
Methods: We included a total of 350 patients with Myocardial Infarction <45 years old and 350 controls matched by age and gender. The polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR-RFLP using specific restriction enzymes. DNA fragments were separated by electrophoresis in 2% gel of agarose and visualized using SYBR green.
Results: The A1166C (p = 0.004) but not FXIII 97G > T (p = 0.19), G20210A (p = 0.32), G1691A (p = No significant) and A1298C (p = 0.21) polymorphisms were associated with increased risk for ST elevation Myocardial Infarction. Moreover, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking and family history of atherothrombotic disease were associated.
Conclusions: We found that A1166C represented increased risk for ST elevation Myocardial Infarction. However, G20210A, G1691A, 97G > T, and A1298C were not associated. In addition, we had determined that Glu298Asp, PLA1/A2, TAFI Thr325Ile, ACE I/D, AGT M235T and PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphisms represented increased risk in the same group of patients. However, MTHFR C677T, AGT T174M, FV G1691A, TSP-1 N700S, MTHFR C677T and TAFI 174 M polymorphisms were no associated. Our results suggest that in young patients with ST Myocardial Infarction, those polymorphisms could contribute to premature endothelial dysfunction, atherothrombosis, vasoconstriction, increased platelet aggregation, muscle cell migration and proliferation. Further studies are required to try to better assess gene-gene and gene-modifiable factors interaction.

We report the case of a 78-year-old patient with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the right coronary artery, subsequently found to have a large subepicardial mass. The patient underwent a non-invasive multimodal diagnostic work-up including cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, which led to the diagnosis of subepicardial hematoma following coronary perforation during primary PCI. Due to clinical stability and absence of active bleeding sources, the patient was managed conservatively with gradual absorption of the mass and favorable prognostic outcome.

Over the last few decades, the primary cilium, an inconspicuous cell organelle, has increasingly become the focus of current research. The primary cilium is a microtubule-based, non-motile, antenna-like structure that is present on almost all mammalian cells. The ciliary membrane incorporates a large number of receptor molecules, which further characterize this cellular organelle.

Background: Loss of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) expression in smooth muscle cells protects against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Whether and how decreased STIM1 expression in cardiomyocytes (CM) impacts cardiac remodeling in response to I/R injury remains unknown.
Objective: To examine mechanisms by which decreased CM-STIM1 expression in the adult heart modulates cardiac function before and after I/R injury.

This comprehensive analysis by Saeed and Faeq investigates the impact of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) on mortality among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at the Erbil Cardiac Center. Analyzing data from 96 consecutive STEMI patients, the study identified significant predictors of in-hospital mortality, emphasizing the critical impact of time of hospital arrival post-symptom onset on overall prognosis. Findings indicate that factors such as atypical presentation, cardiogenic shock, chronic kidney disease, and specific coronary complications are associated with higher mortality rates.
