BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that exposures to air pollution and nonoptimal temperatures are associated with a ...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has emerged over the last decade as an increasingly recognised cause of ...

After demonstrating success in cell culture, the scientists tested their new therapy in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI). Following a single, low-dose intravenous injection, the animals ...

Compared with placebo, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced heart failure hospitalizations among patients with history of myocardial infarction. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) during a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Computer illustration showing ST-elevation which is measured at the junctional or J-point. Each year approximately 750,000 people ...

A heart attack, medically referred to as a myocardial infarction, occurs when the flow of blood to part of the heart muscle ...

Myocardial ischemia is a drop in blood flow to the heart. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when death or damage occurs in the muscle tissue of the heart due to low blood supply.

Furthermore, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images involving late gadolinium enhancement or LGE are being used increasingly to study the chronic scarring and myocardial injury that occurs in ...

If you have an ischemic stroke during a migraine with aura attack, doctors call that a “migrainous infarction.” It’s important to know that the overall risk for this type of stroke is small.

In an expert consensus statement published online Oct. 28 in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, the authors present the classification of four stages of myocardial infarction (MI) based on ...

Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, is a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart. A common cause is plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. Myocardial ischemia ...
