Infarct‐related artery as a donor of collaterals in ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction with concomitant chronic total occlusion: challenge of the double‐jeopardy thesis

30 May 2023

This study challenges the double-jeopardy assumption as the main cause of adverse outcome in STEMI with non-IRA CTO, as a collateral origin distal from the acute IRA occlusion was associated with a significantly better prognosis than with a proximal origin.

A novel breakthrough in wrist-worn transdermal Troponin-I-Sensor assessment for acute myocardial infarction

23 Mar 2023

A transdermal-infrared spectrophotometric sensor (T-ISS) to assess troponins increase has been recently developed. This multicenter, observational study tested the feasibility of implementing this tool with machine learning analytics carried out in a cohort of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome.
