Abstract
Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels have been associated with several cardiovascular risk factors and the progression of coronary artery disease. In the setting of acute myocardial infarction, increasing evidence suggests that high SUA levels could be related to adverse outcomes. Interestingly elevated SUA levels have been linked to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of this review is to discuss the potential negative effects of SUA in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention, analyzing the possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

Abstract
The effect of limb remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) on myocardial infarct (MI) size and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was investigated in a pre-planned cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) substudy of the CONDI-2/ERIC-PPCI trial. This single-blind multi-centre trial (7 sites in UK and Denmark) included 169 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who were already randomised to either control (n = 89) or limb RIC (n = 80) (4 × 5 min cycles of arm cuff inflations/deflations) prior to primary percutaneous coronary intervention. CMR was performed acutely and at 6 months. The primary endpoint was MI size on the 6 month CMR scan, expressed as median and interquartile range. In 110 patients with 6-month CMR data, limb RIC did not reduce MI size [RIC: 13.0 (5.1-17.1)% of LV mass; control: 11.1 (7.0-17.8)% of LV mass, P = 0.39], or LVEF, when compared to control. In 162 patients with acute CMR data, limb RIC had no effect on acute MI size, microvascular obstruction and LVEF when compared to control. In a subgroup of anterior STEMI patients, RIC was associated with lower incidence of microvascular obstruction and higher LVEF on the acute scan when compared with control, but this was not associated with an improvement in LVEF at 6 months. In summary, in this pre-planned CMR substudy of the CONDI-2/ERIC-PPCI trial, there was no evidence that limb RIC reduced MI size or improved LVEF at 6 months by CMR, findings which are consistent with the neutral effects of limb RIC on clinical outcomes reported in the main CONDI-2/ERIC-PPCI trial.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that nicorandil has a protective effect on cardiomyocytes. However, there is no study to investigate whether perioperative intravenous nicorandil can further reduce the myocardial infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared to the current standard of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) regimen. The CHANGE (China-Admini stration of Nicorandil Group) study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind and parallel-controlled clinical study of STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI in China, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous nicorandil in ameliorating the myocar dial infarct size in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI and provide evidence-based support for myocardial protection strategies of STEMI patients.

Abstract
The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of effective drugs managing patients, who suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D): Landmark clinical trials including EMPA-REG, CANVAS and Declare-TIMI have demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular mortality and re-hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in patients with T2D. It is well established that there is a strong independent relationship among infarct size measured within 1 month after reperfusion and all-cause death and hospitalization for HF: The fact that cardiovascular mortality was significantly reduced with the SGLT2 inhibitors, fuels the assumption that this class of therapies may attenuate myocardial infarct size. Experimental evidence demonstrates that SGLT2 inhibitors exert cardioprotective effects in animal models of acute myocardial infarction through improved function during the ischemic episode, reduction of infarct size and a subsequent attenuation of heart failure development. The aim of the present review is to outline the current state of preclinical research in terms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) and infarct size for clinically available SGLT2 inhibitors and summarize some of the proposed mechanisms of action (lowering intracellular Na+ and Ca2+, NHE inhibition, STAT3 and AMPK activation, CamKII inhibition, reduced inflammation and oxidative stress) that may contribute to the unexpected beneficial cardiovascular effects of this class of compounds.

Abstract
Introduction Hypercholesterolemia is a well-known risk factor for developing atherosclerosis and subsequently for the risk of a myocardial infarction (MI). Moreover, it might also be related to the extent of damaged myocardium in the event of a MI. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of baseline low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) level with infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneously coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods Baseline blood samples were obtained from all patients admitted between 2004 and 2014 with STEMI who underwent pPCI. Patients were excluded in case of out of hospital cardiac arrest, treatment delay of at least 10 h or no complete reperfusion after pPCI in the culprit vessel. Peak creatine kinase (CK) level was used for infarct size estimation, defined as the maximal value during admission. Results A total of 2248 patients were included in this study (mean age 61.8 ± 12.2 years; 25.0% female). Mean LDL-c level was 3.6 ± 1.1 mmol/L and median peak CK level was 1275 U/L (IQR 564–2590 U/L). Baseline LDL-c level [β = 0.041; (95% CI 0.019–0.062); p < 0.001] was independently associated with peak CK level. Furthermore, left anterior descending artery as culprit vessel, initial TIMI 0–1 flow in the culprit vessel, male gender, and treatment delay were also correlated with high peak CK level (p < 0.05). Prior aspirin therapy was associated with lower peak CK level [β = − 0.073 (95% CI − 0.146 to 0.000), p = 0.050]. Conclusion This study demonstrates that besides the more established predictors of infarct size, elevated LDL-c is associated with augmented infarct size in patients with STEMI treated with pPCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Saffron is an antioxidant herbal derivative; however, its efficacy as a nutritional cardioprotective agent has not been fully elucidated. We investigated the cardioprotective properties of a standardized saffron aqueous extract (SFE) against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in Wild-Type (WT) and ApoE(-/-) mice and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS WT and ApoE(-/-) mice were subjected to 30 min I and 2 h R, with the following per os interventions for 4 weeks: 1) WT Control Group, receiving Water for Injection (WFI); 2) WT Crocus Group, receiving SFE at a dose of 60 mg/kg/day; 3) WT Crocus + Wort group, receiving SFE as described above and wortmannin at a dose of 60 μg/kg bolus 15 min before R; 4) ApoE(-/-) Control Group, receiving WFI; 5) ApoE(-/-) Crocus Group, receiving SFE at a dose of 60 mg/kg/day and 6) ApoE(-/-) Crocus + Wort: receiving SFE as described above and wortmannin at a dose of 60 μg/kg bolus, 15 min before R. Ischemic area/area at risk (I/R%) ratio was measured. Blood samples and ischemic myocardial tissue were collected at the 10th min of reperfusion for assessment of troponin I, malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrotyrosine (NT), p-eNOS, eNOS, p-Akt, Akt, p-p42/p-p44, p-GSK3β, GSK3β, IL-6, Nrf2, HO-1 and MnSOD expression. The effect of SFE on Nrf2 expression was also evaluated in vitro. SFE reduced infarct size in WT (16.15 ± 3.7% vs 41.57 ± 2.48%, ***p < 0.001) and in ApoE(-/-) mice (16.14 ± 1.47% vs 45.57 ± 1.73%, ***p < 0.001). The administration of wortmannin resulted in partial inhibition of the infarct size limitation efficacy of SFE (in both WT and Apo-E(-/-) mice). Mice receiving SFE showed increased levels of eNOS, p-Akt, p-ERK1/2, p-44/p-42 and p-GSK3β-Ser9 and reduced expression of IL-6 and iNOS; furthermore, SFE reduced the levels of MDA and NT. SFE induced Nrf2 expression and its downstream targets, HO-1 and MnSOD in the myocardium of the treated animals, and induced Nrf2 expression in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS SFE limits myocardial infarction in Wild-Type and ApoE(-/-) mice in a multifaceted manner including activation of Akt/eNOS/ERK1/2/GSK3-β and through Nrf2 pathway, bestowing antioxidant protection against I/R.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A comprehensive cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in reperfused ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients can be challenging to perform and can be time-consuming. We aimed to investigate whether native T1-mapping can accurately delineate the edema-based area-at-risk (AAR) and post-contrast T1-mapping and synthetic late gadolinium (LGE) images can quantify MI size at 1.5 T. Conventional LGE imaging and T2-mapping could then be omitted, thereby shortening the scan duration. METHODS Twenty-eight STEMI patients underwent a CMR scan at 1.5 T, 3 ± 1 days following primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The AAR was quantified using both native T1 and T2-mapping. MI size was quantified using conventional LGE, post-contrast T1-mapping and synthetic magnitude-reconstructed inversion recovery (MagIR) LGE and synthetic phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) LGE, derived from the post-contrast T1 maps. RESULTS Native T1-mapping performed as well as T2-mapping in delineating the AAR (41.6 ± 11.9% of the left ventricle [% LV] versus 41.7 ± 12.2% LV, P = 0.72; R2 0.97; ICC 0.986 (0.969-0.993); bias -0.1 ± 4.2% LV). There were excellent correlation and inter-method agreement with no bias, between MI size by conventional LGE, synthetic MagIR LGE (bias 0.2 ± 2.2%LV, P = 0.35), synthetic PSIR LGE (bias 0.4 ± 2.2% LV, P = 0.060) and post-contrast T1-mapping (bias 0.3 ± 1.8% LV, P = 0.10). The mean scan duration was 58 ± 4 min. Not performing T2 mapping (6 ± 1 min) and conventional LGE (10 ± 1 min) would shorten the CMR study by 15-20 min. CONCLUSIONS T1-mapping can accurately quantify both the edema-based AAR (using native T1 maps) and acute MI size (using post-contrast T1 maps) in STEMI patients without major cardiovascular risk factors. This approach would shorten the duration of a comprehensive CMR study without significantly compromising on data acquisition and would obviate the need to perform T2 maps and LGE imaging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical studies using serum cardiac biomarkers to investigate a circadian variation in acute myocardial infarct (MI) size in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients reperfused by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) have produced mixed results. We aimed to investigate this phenomenon using acute MI size measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS Patient-level data was obtained from 4 randomized controlled trials investigating the MI-limiting effects of cardioprotective therapies in this pooled analysis. The primary analysis was performed in those patients with no pre-infarct angina; duration of ischemia >60min and <360min; Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow pre-PPCI ≤1; TIMI flow post-PPCI 3; and no collateral flow. RESULTS 169 out of 376 patients with CMR data met the inclusion criteria for the primary analysis. A 24-hour circadian variation in acute MI size as a % of the area-at-risk (%AAR), after adjusting for confounders, was observed with a peak and nadir MI size in patients with symptom onset between 00:00 and 01:00 and between 12:00 and 13:00 respectively (difference from the average MI size 5.2%, 95%CI 1.1-9.4%; p=0.013). This was associated with a non-significant circadian variation in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (difference from the average LVEF 5.9%, 95%CI -0.6-2.2%, p=0.073). There was no circadian variation in MI size or LVEF in the whole cohort. CONCLUSIONS We report a circadian variation in acute MI size assessed by CMR in a subset of STEMI patients treated by PPCI, with the largest and smallest MI size occurring in patients with symptom onset between 00:00 and 01:00 and between 12:00 and 13:00 respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the circadian rhythm on left ventricular (LV) function and infarct size, according to the onset of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with echocardiography in patients with first STEMI successfully revascularised with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 252 STEMI patients. Patients were divided into the four, six-hour periods of the day. Conventional and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) echocardiography were performed within 48hours after onset of chest pain. The average of peak systolic myocardial velocities (Sm) in each of the four myocardial segments and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) were calculated. RESULTS A negative linear correlation was shown between CK-MB levels and Sm (r= -0.209, p=0.001). There was an oscillation between time of day and average of Sm. The lowest Sm and largest infarct size were in the period of 06:00-noon compared with period of noon-18:00 and 18:00-midnight (p=0.029 and p=0.031, respectively). A secondary analysis showed that both LVEF and Sm were lower in the midnight-noon group compared with the noon-midnight group (44.9±7.3% versus 47.3±7.9%, p=0.018, and 7.6±1.4cm/s versus 8.2±1.6cm/s, p=0.003, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study has shown that there was a circadian rhythm of infarct size and LV function evaluated by echocardiography according to time of STEMI onset. The largest infarct size and poor LV function occurred in the midnight-noon period, in particular in the 06:00-noon period.

Ultrasound bio-microscopy for measurement of coronary artery flow and estimation of infarct size in a mouse model of acute myocardial infarction. Ultrasound Med Biol 2013; 39:2044-2052.

Abstract
Ultrasound bio-microscopy was used to measure hemodynamic changes in the left main coronary artery after myocardial infarction (MI), and its usefulness in estimating infarct size was evaluated. MI was induced by left anterior descending artery ligation. Diastolic peak velocity (Vd), mean flow velocity (Vmean) and the velocity-time integral (VTI) were measured 2 and 6 h after MI. Serum troponin I levels were assayed 2, 6 and 12 h after MI. At 2 h, Vmean and VTI significantly differed between mice that underwent low and high left anterior descending artery ligation; Vd, Vmean and VTI were correlated with infarct size (r = -0.557, -0.693 and -0.672, respectively; all p < 0.01). Infarct size was more strongly correlated with 2-h ultrasound bio-microscopy measurements than with 2-h serum troponin I level. Measurement of coronary artery blood flow by ultrasound bio-microscopy may be useful for early estimation of infarct size in mice.
