Understanding Heart Attacks Beyond the Usual: Type 2 Myocardial Infarction

August 31, 2025

Type 2 myocardial infarction, or T2MI, is a type of heart attack that doesn't fit the usual pattern. It's not caused by a blockage in the heart's arteries, but rather by other issues like low blood pressure or a heart rhythm problem. This makes it tricky to spot and treat. Researchers looked at a b

The Heart's Hidden Helpers: How SNHG15 Could Revolutionize Cardiac Repair

May 26, 2025

Heart attacks are scary. They happen when blood flow to the heart is blocked. This can cause serious damage. But what if there was a way to help the heart heal itself? Enter SNHG15, a long non-coding RNA. It's a type of molecule that doesn't make proteins but plays a big role in how cells work.

Cancer's Impact on Heart Attack Detection

May 24, 2025

Cancer patients face a unique challenge when it comes to detecting heart attacks. The standard tests, which rely on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T/I (hs-cTnT/I), often fall short in this group. This is where the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-h hs-cTnT/I algorithms come into play. The
