Silent Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report
We present a case of a 59-year-old overweight woman with prediabetes, primary hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia who presented for herpes zoster (HZ) follow-up; she reported having skipped heartbeats and heart rate fluctuations during the review of systems. On further workup, ECG revealed low voltage QRS complexes, flat QRS complexes, flat T waves, and pathological Q waves, suggesting the diagnosis of SMI. Based on the identified risk factors, including high BMI, prediabetes, primary hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, HZ, and newly diagnosed SMI, the patient was advised to continue with lisinopril 20 mg daily, prescri...

Atrial Myopathy and Ischemic Stroke in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
We examined the hypothesis that atrial myopathy may be associated with ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This is an exploratory, post hoc analysis of the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial. Patients with sinus rhythm documented at baseline electrocardiogram and without known AF were included in this analysis.

Half-Dose Tenecteplase or Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Older Patients With ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in STREAM-2: A Randomized, Open-Label Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Halving the dose of tenecteplase in a pharmaco-invasive strategy in this early-presenting, older STEMI population was associated with electrocardiographic changes that were at least comparable to those after primary PCI. Similar clinical efficacy and angiographic end points occurred in both treatment groups. The risk of intracranial hemorrhage was higher with half-dose tenecteplase than with primary PCI. If timely PCI is unavailable, this pharmaco-invasive strategy is a reasonable alternative, provided that contraindications to fibrinolysis are observed and excess anticoagulation is avoided.REGISTRATION: URL: ...

Antithrombotiques oraux et pronostic apr ès un an des patients atteints de fibrillation auriculaire dans un milieu à ressources limitées
CONCLUSION: Half of patients with atrial fibrillation in this registry developed an outcome after one year of follow-up, with heart failure, new onset and paroxystic atrial fibrillation being the main predicting factors. Diagnosing and managing atrial fibrillation in patients with heart disease should therefore be considered as a key priority.PMID:37331159 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2023.101616

Po-05-141 association of interatrial block and the development of atrial fibrillation among patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia among those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), affecting 1 in 5 patients. The combination of HCM and AF is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and mortality. Interatrial block (IAB) is a distinct electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern describing conduction delay between the right and left atria through Bachmann ’s bundle. IAB has been identified as a predictor of AF across several disease states including congestive heart failure, valvular disease, and cardiac amyloidosis.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Early Intravenous Administration of Beta-Blockers in Patients Suffering from Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Without Heart Failure Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Study-Level Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
ConclusionIntravenous beta-blockers improved the MSI, decreased the risk of VT/VF in the first 24 h, and were associated with increased LVEF at 1 week and 6 months following PCI. In particular, intravenous beta-blockers started before PCI is beneficial for patients with LAD lesions.
