Trends in the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction in sub-Saharan Africa have not been well described, despite growing recognition of the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this systematic review was to describe the prevalence of acute my...

Neonatal myocardial infarction (MI) is a very rare but potentially life-threatening condition with an approximated mortality rate of 80%. Congenital heart disease, anomalous coronary artery anatomy, thromboembolism, coagulopathy, birth asphyxia or myocarditis have been suggested as possible causes of MI....
Acute myocardial infarction usually results from coronary thrombosis at the site of a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque. The underlying plaque need not be obstructive. The extent of myocardial infarction is influenced by ischemic preconditioning, induction of coronary collaterals, thrombolysis, reperfusion ...
The long-term outcome and the significance of residual ischemie myocardium, as assessed by predischarge exercise thallium scintigraphy and vessel patency, were studied in 97 patients with single vessel coronary artery disease by angiography 12 ± 4 days after uncomplicated myocardial infarction. During ...
Although previous investigations have suggested that 24 hours is required to exclude acute myocardial infarction in patients who are admitted to a coronary care unit for the evaluation of acute chest pain, we hypothesized that a 12-hour period might be adequate for patients with a low probability ...
Novel biomarkers have improved prediction of outcome in acute myocardial infarction, but none have been demonstrated to alter the outcome of a particular therapy or management strategy. Randomised trials are urgently needed to address this translational gap before the use of novel biomarkers becomes comm...
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a main threat to human lives worldwide. Early and accurate diagnoses warrant immediate medical care, which would reduce mortality and improve prognoses. Circulating non-coding RNAs have been demonstrated to serve as competent biomarkers for various diseases. Followin...
