Can artificial intelligence revolutionize the assessment of coronary stenosis?

This comprehensive review explores the current role and future potential of artificial intelligence-derived fractional flow reserve (AI-FFR) in diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease. The authors examine AI-based solutions applied across modalities such as computed tomography, invasive angiography, and intravascular imaging, emphasizing both their clinical utility and limitations. The article also discusses promising future directions, including mixed reality integration and multimodal diagnostic strategies.

This nationwide study from the I Katedra i Klinika Kardiologii WUM and the National Health Fund (NFZ), Warsaw analyzed trends in the use of diagnostic procedures in 19,978 patients hospitalized with suspected myocarditis in Poland between 2011–2019.
Echocardiography was the most frequently used test, with its use rising from 71.3% to 86.1%. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, despite its high sensitivity, was performed in only 16.4% of cases (range 7.2–29.2%), while endomyocardial biopsy — the gold standard — was done in 0.7% of patients (range 0.4–1.4%). Use of coronary angiography and cardiac CT increased over time (25.8% to 36.1%), but remained at 30.9% overall. Biomarker testing became more common over the decade: troponin (41.3%), BNP (13.8%), and CRP (41.7%). All diagnostic procedures except SPECT were performed less often in women.
The findings suggest significant room for improvement in implementing guideline-recommended diagnostic strategies for myocarditis.

Rationale and design of the MICE study: exploration of the temporal relation between electrical and mechanical events during myocardial ischemia 📝

This study protocol outlines the rationale and design of the MICE (Myocardial Ischemia Cascade Events) study, which critically evaluates the validity of the established ischemic cascade hypothesis. This concept postulates a predictable sequence of physiological events during myocardial ischemia. The primary aim is to elucidate the temporal interplay between electrical and mechanical dysfunction in the myocardium during acute ischemia, using an innovative method combining intracoronary electrocardiography (icECG) and wall motion analysis via a single PCI wire.

Study Highlights
🔸 Objective: To identify the primary ischemic event (electrical or mechanical) and assess its clinical implications.
🔸 Methodology: A single-center, prospective, observational study including 323 patients with chronic coronary syndrome scheduled for PCI. Ischemia is induced transiently by balloon inflation, allowing simultaneous recording of mechanical and electrical parameters.
🔸 Preliminary Results:
🔹 In 55% of patients, electrical changes (e.g., ST-segment elevation) were the initial manifestation of ischemia.
🔹 Mechanical dysfunction (e.g., reduced wall motion) occurred first in 36% of cases.
🔹 Concurrent onset of both phenomena was observed in 9% of patients.
🔸 Clinical Implications: Findings may inform advancements in diagnostic strategies and therapeutic interventions for coronary artery disease, with the potential to improve patient outcomes and refine clinical guidelines.

Effect of alcohol abuse on selected markers of inflammation, hemostasis, and endothelial function.

Alcohol abuse poses a serious risk to cardiovascular health, affecting various biomarkers. This new study, published in Cardiology Journal, examines how chronic alcohol consumption impacts key inflammation, hemostasis, and endothelial function markers, revealing the potential for irreversible cardiovascular damage. 🧬

Key findings:
✅ Elevated levels of PAI-1, TNF-α, VCAM-1, and fibrinogen in individuals with alcohol abuse.
✅ Significant dyslipidemia: increased TC, LDL-C, and TG levels.
✅ Correlation between cigarette use and fibrinogen levels, underscoring the additive risks of smoking and alcohol.
