Open AccessComparison of the modified Singapore myocardial infarction registry risk score with GRACE 2.0 in predicting 1-year acute myocardial infarction outcomes
Risk stratification plays a key role in identifying acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients at higher risk of mortality. However, current AMI risk scores such as the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events...

Open AccessAssociation between smoking status and outcomes in myocardial infarction patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Smoking is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease and hypertension. However, in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, smoking has been associated wi...

Open AccessThe Lipid Paradox is present in ST-elevation but not in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients: Insights from the Singapore Myocardial Infarction Registry
Lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels form the cornerstone approach of cardiovascular risk reduction, and a higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) is thought to be protective. ...

Open AccessIndependent Predictors of Cardiac Mortality and Hospitalization for Heart Failure in a Multi-Ethnic Asian ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Population Treated by Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
We aimed to identify independent predictors of cardiac mortality and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) from a real-world, multi-ethnic Asian registry [the Singapore Myocardial Infarction Registry] of ST-...

Open AccessInterrogation of the infarcted and salvaged myocardium using multi-parametric map** cardiovascular magnetic resonance in reperfused ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients
We used multi-parametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) map** to interrogate the myocardium following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Forty-eight STEMI patients underwent CMR at ...

Open AccessRedefining viability by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
In chronic myocardial infarction (MI), segments with a transmural extent of infarct (TEI) of ≤50% are defined as being viable. However, in the acute phase of an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEM...

Open AccessFull left ventricular coverage is essential for the accurate quantification of the area-at-risk by T1 and T2 map**
T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using a 3-slice approach has been shown to accurately quantify the edema-based area-at-risk (AAR) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We a...

Open AccessQuantifying the area-at-risk of myocardial infarction in-vivo using arterial spin labeling cardiac magnetic resonance
T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (T2-CMR) of myocardial edema can quantify the area-at-risk (AAR) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and has been used to assess myocardial salvage by new c....

Open AccessAge and Surgical Complexity impact on Renoprotection by Remote Ischemic Preconditioning during Adult Cardiac Surgery: A Meta analysis
We aimed to conduct an up-to-date meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the renoprotective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing adult cardiac surgery. 21 randomized control...
