The principles of drug therapy for myocardial ischemia in elderly patients are the same as those for younger patients. The physician treating elderly patients, however, must be aware that the ...

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a major hindrance to the success of cardiac reperfusion therapy. Immune response mediates the pathophysiological process of MIRI, implying that ...

In some instances, T wave changes might suggest specific conditions, such as peaked T waves in hyperkalemia or symmetric T wave inversions during myocardial ischemia. But what about all the other ...

The physical examination findings during STEMI are similar to those of stable angina, unstable angina and non-STEMI, although frequently more dramatic due to the larger proportion of ischemic ...

Diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) is associated with lower probability of incident cardiovascular events than type 2 (DM2).

Maintaining mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) integrity is crucial for cardiomyocyte function, and its disruption plays a significant role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
