Aims The aim of the present paper was to provide an up‐to‐date view on epidemiology and
risk factors of heart failure (HF) development after myocardial infarction. Methods and results …

Although myocardial ischaemia usually manifests as a consequence of atherosclerosis-
dependent obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease, a significant percentage of …

After a reperfused myocardial infarction (MI), dynamic tissue changes occur (edema,
inflammation, microvascular obstruction, hemorrhage, cardiomyocyte necrosis, and …

Although mortality after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) is on the decline,
the number of patients developing heart failure as a result of MI is on the rise. Apart from …

Background Intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH) drives atherosclerosis progression and is a key
imaging biomarker of unstable plaques. Non-invasive and sensitive monitoring of IPH is …

Diabetic patients are frequently affected by coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), a
condition consisting of a combination of altered vasomotion and long-term structural change …

Sudden blockage of arteries supplying the heart muscle contributes to millions of heart
attacks (myocardial infarction, MI) around the world. Although re-opening these arteries …

Aims To evaluate the prognostic value of intramyocardial haemorrhage (IMH) depicted by
T2* imaging for risk stratification in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in …

Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. In
atherothrombotic MI (ST-elevation MI and type 1 non-ST-elevation MI), coronary artery …

Intramyocardial hemorrhage is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in ST-
segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Iron deposition resulting from ischemia …
