DOI: 10.1097/mca.0000000000000595
Abstract: Background Although multiple imaging modalities have been tested to predict periprocedural myocardial necrosis (PMN), the superior predictive efficacy of these imaging findings has not been established fully. We sought to evaluate which findings of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/2048872617748553
Abstract: Cardiac troponin I and cardiac troponin T are nowadays the criterion biomarkers for the laboratory diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction due to their very high sensitivities and specificities for myocardial injury. However, still many aspects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0179450
Abstract: The pathophysiology of myocardial injury that results from cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is incompletely understood. Experimental evidence from murine models indicates that innate immune mechanisms including complement activation via the classical and lectin pathways… read more here.
