Acute myocardial infarction has an incidence in pregnancy of 1 in 10,000, with a mortality ranging from 37-50%. Mortality is increased if the infarct occurs in the third trimester, if the patient is under age 35 yr, if she delivers within 2 wk of her infarct, and if she has a cesarean section. We present a case involving all four prognostically poor factors. The patient was treated emergently in the cardiac catheterization laboratory with intracoronary thrombolysis and primary PTCA of an occluded LAD. She had an uncomplicated recovery and subsequent delivery of a healthy child with no peripartum cardiac complications. A review of myocardial infarction in pregnancy follows.

Association between neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio and no-reflow after coronary intervention: A cross-sectional study.

Inflammatory responses and lipid metabolism disorders are key components in the development of coronary artery disease and contribute to no-reflow after coronary intervention. This study aimed to investigate the association between the neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR) and no-reflow phenomenon in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). This study enrolled 288 patients with STEMI from September 1st, 2022 to February 29th, 2024, in the Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University.

Background: Due to the lack of a prior comprehensive review and meta-analysis, the relationship between monocyte count and thrombus load in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been adequately established.
Methods: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of multiple cohorts (retrospective and prospective) and cross-sectional studies.We queried electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central) from their inception to April 2022.
Intracoronary Tissue Plasminogen Activator Therapy to Treat Thrombotic Occlusion of a Giant Coronary Aneurysm in Early Kawasaki Disease.

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that can lead to coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in up to 10% of treated cases, significantly increasing the risk of thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). While thrombolytic therapy is commonly used in adult coronary syndromes, its application in pediatric KD remains poorly studied. We report a 9-month-old infant with KD and giant CAA complicated by a subocclusive thrombus in the left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Background: The prevention of reperfusion injury remains an unmet need in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated mild hypothermia as adjunctive therapy during STEMI, with conflicting results.
Aims: To summarize the evidence about the efficacy and safety of mild hypothermia in patients with STEMI, as well as its conclusiveness through a trial sequential analysis (TSA).

Department of Cardiovascular, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Shantou University, 515000 Shantou, Guangdong, China.
Background: The efficacy of delayed stenting strategies in the management of high thrombus burden acute myocardial infarction remains uncertain. We aimed to compare the therapeutic effects and financial implications of immediate and delayed stenting strategies in patients with acute myocardial infarction and high thrombus burden treated at our institution.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 158 patients who underwent intracoronary thrombus aspiration for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College between 2013 and 2023.
