Introduction Major stressful events are well documented to increase the incidence of acute cardiac events. A recent study published in the Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine explored the impact of the 2014 Israeli attacks on the frequency of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) admissions in Gaza. The findings highlight the direct correlation between intense psychological…

Real World Insights Mynx Femoral Closure Device in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

—

by

IntroductionVascular closure devices (VCDs) play a crucial role in post-procedure hemostasis following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). One such device, the Mynx femoral closure device, has gained traction due to its unique mechanism utilizing a bio-inert polyethylene glycol (PEG) sealant. This study explores its safety and efficacy in a single-center real-world setting. Visit https://www.cardiologymedjournal.com/jccm for more…

Optimal Blood Pressure During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Insights from Recent Research

—

by

Introduction Post-cardiac surgery stroke is a severe complication, with incidences as high as 50%. Determining the optimal mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to reduce postoperative stroke and cognitive dysfunction remains controversial. Recent studies have attempted to clarify whether a high MAP strategy (70-80 mmHg) offers better protection compared to a lower…

The Role of Histidine in Cardiac Contractility Insights from Myocardial Studies

—

by

Introduction:Histidine, a naturally occurring amino acid, has been widely studied for its role in modulating beta-adrenoceptor activity and myocardial contractility. Recent research published in the Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine investigates how histidine influences cardiac contractility and adrenaline’s inotropic effects in the right ventricular myocardium of nonpregnant and pregnant rats. This study provides valuable…
