Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) by accelerating atherosclerosis. Consequently, diabetic patients are at higher risk of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, often presenting with more complex CAD.
Aim and objectives: To compare coronary angiographic findings in diabetic and non-diabetic patients presenting with acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major global health concern, with sex-based differences increasingly recognized in its presentation, risk factors, and outcomes. Historically viewed as a male-dominant condition, MI in women is now known to have unique features, including atypical symptoms and poorer prognoses. Risk factors like diabetes and hypertension exert a greater adverse impact in women; while ... Read more

Introduction: The ratio of coronary thrombosis in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction and COVID-19 disease showed a high number, both for obstructive and non-obstructive atherosclerotic patterns. According to the detection of acute coronary syndrome in patients with COVID-19, it may be related to atherosclerosis and plaque rupture or formation of spontaneous thrombosis, or the combination of these two ...

Background: J wave syndrome/Early Repolarization Syndrome (ERS) is characterized by sudden cardiac death (SCD), ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). Tikkanen classifies the elevation of the J point according to the slope of the ST segment and they are malignant (horizontal) and benign (positive) slopes. ERS is classified into three types and is a common cause of SCD ... Read more

Objective: A multicenter, multiple-ethnic, cross-sectional screening study was performed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of congenital heart disease (CHD) in Hainan, China. Methods: This study enrolled 117005 consecutive neonates born at delivery institutions of 17 urban and rural regions in Hainan from January 1,2020 to December 31, 2020. Cases of CHD were identified by pulse oximetry (POX) combined with auscultation screening, echocardiography, and ... Read more

Introduction: Use of contrast is increased when percutaneous coronary intervention is supplemented by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). However, the impact of OCT-guided PCI on the incidence of AKI after PCI in real-world clinical practice had not been fully evaluated.
Methods: Among a total of 132 consecutive in patients who underwent PCI in our institute, we identified 16 cases ... Read more

Ischemic injury is a major cause of several cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, and ventricular remodelling. WNT signaling has been shown to be a key regulator of cell growth, injury, and repair. Using the in vitro Oxygen and Glucose Deprivation (OGD) model to mimic ischemic condition, we found that WNT3A over expression could enhance the OGD-induced ... Read more

Background: High frequency electric stimulation has emerged to detect renal nerve by evoking BP response. However, its relationship with the renal nerve distribution is not clear. This study was designed to evaluate the renal nerve distribution by annular electrode catheter via High Frequency Electric Stimulation (HFS).
Methods: A total of 8 Chinese Kunming dogs were included. HFS was performed from ... Read more
