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.

🌟 Are we entering the era of Drug-Coated Balloons (DCB) in cardiology? 🌟

🔬 A new study explores growing evidence supporting the use of DCBs in treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) and de novo coronary artery disease, particularly in small vessels. DCBs offer benefits like lower thrombosis risk and shorter dual antiplatelet therapy duration, positioning them as a promising alternative to traditional stents.
