In a heart attack, “time is muscle” & “time is vessel”? This state-of-the-art review summarizes the pathophysiology of microvascular injury after reperfusion in #cvAMI + the consequences & contributions of #cvImaging including future trials & therapies. bit.ly/3Y363s7#JACCIMG
#CRT2024@CRT_meeting#JACCAdvances Simultaneous Publication: In a first, we describe a novel method to determine Health Professional Shortage Areas (#HPSA) using patient zip codes, & systematically report outcomes in acute myocardial infarction in Indiana. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
#CRT2024#JACCAdvances SimPub: New study offers novel method to determine HPSA using patient zip codes. Analyzing 8348 #cAMI pts in Indiana, it uncovers 🔑 disparities in Tx & characteristics but no adverse outcome differences in HPSA regions bit.ly/4c6YgOH@AnkurKalraMD

3/ With each stage, the patient's risk DRAMATICally increases.
Look at the numbers- frightening!
👉Use @SCC_CCS Stages of Acute MI for risk assessment in #heartattack patients. @Drroxmehran
6/ But this is THE BEST: Each CCS stage represents a target🎯 for therapy- opening doors for refined acute MI research. Novel cardioprotective therapies will have to STOP THE CLOCK of progressive injury- the CCS classification is the tool we needed to measure that. So-here it is!
7/ Hemorrhagic MI (CCS Stage 4 MI) is especially dangerous with post-reperfusion infarct expansion and strong association with mechanical complications. 👉Target 🎯for future therapies! If we stop hemorrhagic MI- we will save lives. Reference: jacc.org/doi/abs/10.1016/j.j…
