When ventricular septal rupture complicates acute myocardial infarction, the mortality rate is
high and immediate operative intervention is indicated. This review explains that septal …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (∼ 22 nt) noncoding single-stranded RNA molecules that
downregulate gene expression. Studies have shown that miRNAs control diverse aspects of …

The electrocardiogram is considered an essential part of the diagnosis and initial evaluation
of patients with chest pain. This review summarises the information that can be obtained …

Background—Ventricular septal defect (VSD) complicating acute myocardial infarction has
been studied primarily in small, prethrombolytic-era trials. Our goal was to determine clinical …

Background Limitation of myocardial infarct size by an earlier brief complete occlusion of a
coronary artery is defined as ischemic preconditioning. However, myocardial protection also …

Purpose We assessed whether (1) dapagliflozin (Dapa, an SGLT2-inhibitor) attenuates the
deterioration of heart function Nlrp3 and inflammasome activation in diabetic mice.(2) The …

Patients with occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) and no ST-elevation on presenting
electrocardiogram (ECG) are increasing in numbers. These patients have a poor prognosis …

The purpose of the present study was to assess whether resolvin E1 (RvE1), an anti-
inflammatory mediator derived from eicosapentaenoic acid, would limit myocardial infarct …

Pioglitazone (PIO) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs limit infarct size (IS) in
experimental models. The effects of the dipeptidyl-peptidase-IV inhibitors, which increase …

Background—Previous in vivo studies have shown that microbubbles not only enhance the
effectiveness of thrombolytic agents in the presence of ultrasound but may also augment clot …
