The accuracy of detailed analysis of optical coherence tomography in detection of plaque lipid content: dual-imaging study with optical coherence tomography and near-infrared spectroscopy
CONCLUSIONS: We found a strong correlation between the OCT-derived features and NIRS findings. Detailed OCT analysis may be reliably used for detection of the presence of coronary lipids.PMID:38465606 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2024.2324214 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

The role of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with coronary artery disease: a  meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
CONCLUSION: Exercise after PCI improves LVEF, enhances 6MWD, lowers HR and minimises the risk of angina, arrhythmia and coronary artery restenosis in CHD patients. Exercise had no discernible effect on LVEDD, TC, SBP, or DBP.PMID:38465795 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2266650 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Early SGLT2 inhibitor use is associated with improved left atrial strain following acute coronary syndrome
CONCLUSION: In patients with ACS and T2D, addition of empagliflozin to standard ACS therapy prior to discharge is associated with improved LA function.PMID:38456717 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2024.2324221 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)

Serum circRNA (Circ)_0051386 assists in the diagnosis of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and prediction of the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events after percutaneous coronary intervention
CONCLUSION: Our study indicated that Circ_0051386 is a biomarker of the diagnostic for STEMI and the predictor of the MACEs in STEMI patients after PCI. Its potential role in STEMI may be the regulation of inflammation in the vascular endothelial.PMID:38456718 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2024.2324218 (Source: Acta Cardiologica)
