Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a critical role in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the externalization of S100 family members. Here, we show the effects of S100A12 on NETs formation and myocardial injury following AMI. S100A12 expression increases rapidly in neutrophils and peaks on day 1 after AMI, promoting NETs production and exacerbating myocardial injury. DNase I, an inhibitor of NETs, reduces apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by S100A12. Mechanistically, the interaction of S100A12 and Annexin A5 (ANXA5) enhances calcium influx and promotes NETs formation. Blockage of ANXA5 effectively attenuates heart function impairment after AMI. Finally, we show that plasma S100A12 levels correlate with dsDNA concentration, and this correlation is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality during the 1-year follow-up of AMI patients. These findings, derived from male mice, reveal the S100A12-ANXA5-calcium influx axis as a potential therapeutic target and biomarker for AMI.

Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy holds great promise for treating myocardial infarction (MI). However, the inflammatory and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-rich environment in infarcted myocardium challenges MSC survival, limiting its therapeutic impact. In this study, we demonstrate that chemical modification of MSCs with anti-VCAM1 and polydopamine (PD) significantly enhances MSC survival and promotes cardiac repair.

Background: The perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is highly complex and involves numerous factors. There is a strong association between cardiac surgery and perioperative complications. The Brazilian Surgical Identification Study (BraSIS 2) aims to assess the incidence of death and early postoperative complications, identify potential risk factors, and examine both the demographic characteristics of patients and the epidemiology of cardiovascular procedures.

Purpose: Myocardial computed tomography (CT) late enhancement (LE) allows assessment of myocardial scarring. Super-resolution deep learning image reconstruction (SR-DLR) trained on data acquired from ultra-high-resolution CT may improve image quality for CT-LE. Therefore, this study investigated image noise and image quality with SR-DLR compared with conventional DLR (C-DLR) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid IR).

Acute postinfarction ventricular septum defect has a persistently high mortality rate due to unstable scars in the acute phase, which make surgery or occluder use unsuitable. Delayed closure increases the risk of irreversible hemodynamic deterioration. To address this, a dual latex balloon catheter was designed for temporary closure and tested in a pig model.
