External validation of the GRACE risk score in patients with myocardial infarction in Hungary
Background: Literature confirms that the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score provides a better risk evaluation than clinical judgment in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Multivessel myocardial infarction [PDF]
A 56-year-old female patient with hypertension, obesity and chronic intermittent cauda equina compression suffered an acute myocardial infarction five days after a lumbar hernia operation. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ST-segment elevation in multiple leads, consistent with an extensive acute apical and lateral myocardial infarction (figure 1 ...

Benefits of lifelong exercise training on left ventricular function after myocardial infarction. [PDF]
Background Endurance exercise training induces cardio-protective effects, but athletes are not exempted from a myocardial infarction. Evidence from animal studies suggests that exercise training attenuates pathological left ventricular remodelling ...

Cardiac stem cells: A promising treatment option for heart failure. [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. The development of heart failure is mainly due to the loss of cardiomyocytes following myocardial infarction and the absence of endogenous myocardial repair.

Impact of heart rate on myocardial salvage in timely reperfused patients with STSegment elevation myocardial infarction. new insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous studies evaluating the progression of the necrotic wave in relation to heart rate were carried out only in animal models of ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI).

The heartbreak of depression: 'Psycho-cardiac' coupling in myocardial infarction [PDF]
Ample evidence identifies strong links between major depressive disorder (MDD) and both risk of ischemic or coronary heart disease (CHD) and resultant morbidity and mortality. The molecular mechanistic bases of these linkages are poorly defined. Systemic

Spatial multi-omic map of human myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction is a leading cause of death worldwide1. Although advances have been made in acute treatment, an incomplete understanding of remodelling processes has limited the effectiveness of therapies to reduce late-stage mortality2.

Current ICD10 codes are insufficient to clearly distinguish acute myocardial infarction type: a descriptive study [PDF]
BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) type is an important distinction to be made in both clinical and health care research context, as it determines the treatment of the patient as well as affecting outcomes.
