TL;DR: In STEMI patients treated by PPCI, evaluation of remote zone alterations by quantitative noncontrast T1 mapping provided independent and incremental prognostic information in addition to clinical risk factors and traditional CMR outcome markers.

TL;DR: IMH assessed by T2* imaging may provide prognostic information that is incremental to other CMR markers of infarct severity and classical clinical risk factors and could therefore be relevant as an important prognostic measure as well as therapeutic target when caring for patients after STEMI.

TL;DR: The data suggest that bradyarrhythmias in the acute setting of TTC may require permanent pacemaker implantation and, in contrast, polymorphic ventricular arrh rhythmias might be managed with a temporary approach until recovery of repolarization time and left ventricular function.

TL;DR: STEMI patients with an elevated admission shock index had more pronounced myocardial and microvascular damage and the shock index was independently associated with MACE at 12 months and identified as an independent predictor of MACE.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the possibility of blocked atherosclerotic plaques in the left anterior descending coronary artery as a potential pathophysiological mechanism in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS).
