The damage inflicted on the myocardium during acute myocardial infarction is the result of 2
processes: ischemia and subsequent reperfusion (ischemia/reperfusion injury). During the …

Obstructive disease of the epicardial coronary arteries was recognized as the cause of
angina pectoris> 2 centuries ago, and sudden thrombotic occlusion of an epicardial …

Background Several studies have shown that exenatide protects against ischemia-
reperfusion injury and improves cardiac function in patients with acute ST-segment elevation …

Background Acute myocarditis as well as post-ischemic myocardial inflammation are
generally associated with a profound activation of the immune system. Current established …

A growing number of studies have suggested microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the
modulation of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury; however, the role of …

Within just over a decade late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging has become a
mainstay of cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging supported by extensive study data …

Objective Utilising a novel study design, we evaluated serial measurements of the index of
microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary …

Objective Tongxinluo (TXL) has been shown to decrease myocardial necrosis after
ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) by simulating ischemia preconditioning (IPC). However, the core …

Background Limited data are available on the clinical significance of residual thrombi after
thrombectomy and prestenting reduced epicardial coronary flow in ST-segment elevation …

Over the past decade, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become an
established non-invasive imaging modality in cardiology. It provides clinicians and …
