Numerous studies have demonstrated that patients with AMI and hyperglycemia on admission have high rates of mortality. It has been reported that there is a linear positive relation between admission blood glucose levels and mortality after AMI. However, recent studies showed that the relationship is U-shaped in patients with a history of diabetes. Diabetic patients with moderate hyperglycemia (glucose 9-11mmol/L) had the lowest mortality and not only severe hyperglycemia (glucose ≥11mmol/L) but also euglycemia (glucose <7mmol/L) was associated with higher mortality. Although it has been debated whether acute hypergl...

Current therapy is focused primarily on the regulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis and sympathetic nervous system. Additional targets of pharmacotherapy include vasoconstriction, impaired nitric oxide metabolism, inflammation and improving myocardial function. As therapies in chronic systolic heart failure have evolved beyond diuretics and digoxin, so too has mortality improved. Future directions in the management of heart failure include cell-based and genetic therapy, and further refinement of current therapy through genetics.

Regardless of precipitant, underlying etiology or ejection fraction, the vast majority of hospital admissions are the result of worsening chronic HF. For the acutely decompensated patient, 4 hemodynamic profiles, stratified by degree of congestion ("dry" or "wet") and adequacy of perfusion ("warm" or "cold") predict prognosis and guide therapy. Relief of congestion is the primary goal of AHF management. Loop diuretics remain the mainstay of AHF treatment, but new modalities such as veno-venous ultrafiltration are promising. For patients with evidence of hypoperfusion, vasoactive agents may be needed to facilitate diuresis. T...

Clopidogrel has been the most commonly used agent in this respect worldwide. However, there are certain shortcomings of clopdiogrel, the most important of which is the wide response variability of platelet inhibition. The response to clopidogrel is affected by various clinical variables, genetic variations involved in its activation, and drug-drug interactions. Therefore, clinicians are faced with challenges in situations where high inhibition of platelets is necessary and in cases where the response to clopidogrel may be suboptimal. There are various ways...

The current gold standard for noninvasive measurement of RV function is cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; however, because of practical considerations, echocardiography remains the most often used modality for evaluating the RV. In the past, because of its complex morphology, echocardiographic assessment of the RV was usually qualitative in nature. Current advances in echocardiographic techniques have been able to overcome some of the previous limitations and thus quantification of RV function is increasingly being performed. In addition, recent echocardiographic guidelines for evaluating the RV have been published to aid i...

Despite the development of diagnostic strategies, the electrocardiogram (ECG) plays a central role in the diagnostic pathway for STEMI because it is inexpensive, readily available, and noninvasive. Moreover, in the acute phase of STEMI, the ECG can provide useful information about the extent of area at risk, the degree of myocardial damage, reperfusion injury, and myocardial reperfusion, all of which influence infarct size. This review explores the clinical importance of the ECG for patients with anterior wall STEMI in the current interventional era. (Circ J 2012; 76: 3...

Anticoagulation is fundamental in the treatment of APTE and should be initiated from suspicion. The efficacy and safety of novel anticoagulant drugs, such as oral anti-Xa and anti-IIa inhibitors, are topics in the treatment of APTE and are now under investigation. Thrombolytic therapy is a widely accepted treatment strategy for massive APTE, but its use for submassive APTE is controversial. Catheter intervention, percutaneous cardiopulmonary support and surgical embolectomy are also necessary and effective for some patients with APTE.

Most recently, we found unique atheroprone signals, which involve protein kinase C (PKC)ζ activation, elicited by d-flow. We and others have defined a novel role for PKCζ as a shared mediator for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and d-flow, which cause pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic events in endothelial cells (ECs) in the atheroprone environment. Under such conditions, ONOO(-) formation is increased in a d-flow-mediated PKCζ-dependent manner. Here, we propose a new signaling pathway involving ...

Nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate [GTN]) remains a first-line treatment for angina pectoris and acute MI. Nitroglycerin achieves its benefit by giving rise to nitric oxide (NO), which causes vasodilation and increases blood flow to the myocardium. However, continuous delivery of GTN results in tolerance, limiting the use of this drug. Nitroglycerin tolerance is caused, at least in part, by inactivation of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), an enzyme that converts GTN to the vasodilator, NO. We recently found that in a MI model in animals, in addition to GTN's effect on the vasculature, sustained treatment negatively affected cardio...

The process of mitochondrial fusion has the effect of mixing their content, allowing complementation of protein components, mtDNA repair, and distribution of metabolic intermediates. Fission, on the other hand, enables mitochondria to increase in number and capacity, and to segregate mitochondria for autophagy by the lysosome ("mitophagy"). Disruption of these protein quality control mechanisms has recently been identified in multiple cardiac diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, and ischemic heart disease, and is intimately tied to mitochondrial control of apoptosis.

This progress is attributed to both the accumulating experience of electrophysiologists and the advances in technological tools facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) has emerged as a new imaging tool in the clinical arena. Its ability to image in "real time" cardiac structures "en face" and the almost entire length of intracardiac catheters has made this technique a promising imaging tool to guide percutaneous catheter-based procedures.

Accumulating evidence has revealed a critical involvement of inflammatory responses triggered by lesional macrophages in the pathogenesis of MetS. Importantly, we found that macrophages are associated with disease progression, not only in the induction of inflammation but also in the production of apoptosis inhibitor of macrophages (AIM), which we initially identified as a soluble factor expressed by macrophages. In atherosclerotic plaques, AIM is highly expressed by foam macrophages and inhibits apoptosis of...
