Despite significant advancements in managing acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions, the prevalence of heart failure has not decreased. Emerging paradigms with a focus on reducing infarct size show promising evidence in the improvement of the incidence of heart failure after experiencing acute coronary syndromes. Limiting infarct size has been the focus of multiple clinical trials over the past decades and has led to left ventricular (LV) unloading as a potential mechanism. Contemporary use of microaxial flow devices for LV unloading has suggested improvement in mortality in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. This review focuses on clinical data demonstrating evidence of infarct size reduction and highlights ongoing clinical trials that provide a new therapeutic approach to the management of acute myocardial infarction.

Objectives: Coronary graft failure (CGF) may occur early after coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG). The study aimed to identify clinical and perioperative risk factors and to evaluate the long-term clinical impact of symptomatic early CGF.
Methods: Patients who underwent clinically indicated coronary angiography (CAG) prior to post-CABG discharge between 2012 and 2022 were included.

Aging is associated with a marked increase in cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction (MI). Cellular senescence is also a crucial factor in the development of age-related MI. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) interaction with cellular senescence is a critical determinant of MI development and outcomes, most notably in the aged heart.

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI) is pivotal in managing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); however, it introduces potential risks, such as contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pulse pressure (PP) and CI-AKI incidence in diabetic patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study conducted between 2021 and 2022, 590 diabetic STEMI patients undergoing p-PCI were categorized based on the presence of wide PP.
