Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the release of the second volume of the Special Issue titled “Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Treatment of Myocardial Infarction”. On this occasion, we would also like to invite you to visit our website to access the first volume of this Special Issue, available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/U7O1Q32762.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine will highlight the latest findings in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). This involves the evaluation of biomarkers, lipids, ECGs, risk scoring systems, cardiovascular genetics, monitoring, non-invasive and invasive cardiovascular testing, invasive treatment, and prognosis. Moreover, manuscripts with a special focus on artificial intelligence and gender are welcome.

This Special Issue aims to provide researchers with an opportunity to publish both original research and review articles related to recent advances in the acute MI field, with a particular focus on the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of acute MI, which is still one of the leading causes of death in the modern world.

Prof. Dr. Elad Asher
Guest Editor

Background/Objectives: The comparative efficacy of off-pump and on-pump coronary bypass grafting (CABG) for patients with acute and subacute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains controversial. We compared the outcomes of on-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in Korean patients with acute and subacute myocardial infarction. Methods: This nationwide retrospective cohort study included 14,578 propensity score-matched patients undergoing on-pump or off-pump CABG between 2007 and 2022 using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. The primary outcomes were recurrent myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, stroke, all-cause mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Chi-square, Kaplan–Meier, and log-rank tests and Cox regression analysis were used. Results: Compared with on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG was associated with significantly lower risks of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), all-cause mortality, and recurrent myocardial infarction in the cause-specific Cox analysis, whereas repeat revascularization and stroke rates were comparable between groups. However, the association with recurrent myocardial infarction was not statistically significant in the Fine–Gray competing-risk analysis. Conclusions: Off-pump CABG was associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and MACCEs in patients with acute and subacute myocardial infarction. The association with recurrent myocardial infarction was less consistent across analytical approaches and should be interpreted cautiously. Full article
