Background: Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) is frequently preceded by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), with risk of anoxic brain injury. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is central to neuroprognostication; however, concomitant hemolysis can increase NSE independent of neuronal injury due to the presence of NSE in erythrocytes. This consideration is critical in AMICS patients treated with a microaxial flow pump (Impella, Abiomed), where hemolysis is frequent.

Background: Penetrating cardiac trauma is an entity with high pre and intrahospital mortality due to complications such as cardiac tamponade and massive hemothorax. A ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs in 1-5% of cases and can present early or late. The management strategy for VSD resulting from penetrating cardiac trauma is uncertain.

Background: Aspirin has proved its efficacy in reducing the rate of preeclampsia in singleton pregnancy, however, there is discrepancy about the efficient dosage that should be used. While some societies recommend daily 75-81mg, others recommend higher dosage (160mg). This discrepancy is due to the lack of randomized controlled studies that compare these two dosages.

Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) risk stratification in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may be complicated by other potential causes of arrhythmia.

Objectives: We aimed to characterize SCA survivors with isolated (iMVP) and non-isolated MVP (non-iMVP) and to assess their long-term follow-up.

Methods: This ambispective study included 75 patients with MVP who experienced SCA and were treated in our center between 2009-2024.

Objectives: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is used in cases of life-threatening cardiopulmonary arrest, is a physically exhausting procedure. Adding to that, sometimes, even before performing CPR, interventions to rescue the injured person from a challenging environment have caused significant fatigue. In this study, taking a novel research approach, we generated a scenario of fatigue during a rescue from earthquake debris and aimed to measure the effect of that fatigue on the quality of CPR performed by paramedics.
