Prognostic value of the myocardial salvage index measured by T2-weighted and T1-weighted late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-regression analysis [PDF]
In all patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, risk stratification should be performed before discharge. The measurement of therapy efficiency with magnetic resonance imaging has been proposed as part of the risk assessment, but it has ...

Ribose supplementation alone or with elevated creatine does not preserve high energy nucleotides or cardiac function in the failing mouse heart [PDF]
Background: Reduced levels of creatine and total adenine nucleotides (sum of ATP, ADP and AMP) are hallmarks of chronic heart failure and restoring these pools is predicted to be beneficial by maintaining the diseased heart in a more favourable energy ...

Case Report: Familial Pseudohyperkalemia Due to Red Blood Cell Membrane Leak in a Chinese Patient
Hyperkalemia is a critical condition requiring careful evaluation and timely intervention. Many conditions could manifest as pseudohyperkalemia and it's important to differentiate them as inappropriate potassium-lowering therapy might lead to detrimental
