Myocardial infarction (MI) and subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury trigger a devastating cascade of oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte death, ...

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by depression of cardiac function that leads to low blood pressure, coronary ischemia, and further decreased cardiac contractility resulting in tissue hypoxemia. The ...

The electrocardiogram remains a crucial tool in the identification and management of acute myocardial infarction. A detailed analysis of patterns of ST-segment elevation may influence decisions ...

Researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences and Oxford University have identified the specific 3D pattern that is linked to the risks after an infarct, when tissue dies ...

Multi-infarct dementia, also known as vascular dementia, is a form of dementia resulting from brain damage caused by stroke or transient ischemic attacks (also known as mini-strokes).

Using a microaxial flow pump prior to and during cardiac stenting procedures for patients with severe heart attacks who don't have cardiogenic shock does not significantly reduce heart damage. That is ...

A new mouse model-based study shows how poststroke environmental enrichment attenuates chronic inflammation, promoting ...
