Article Abstract
We experienced two rare cases of mismatch between the results of FFR and myocardial perfusion SPECT for identification of myocardial ischemia after myocardial infarction. If a FFR cutoff value of 0.75 is applied as in angina patients to patients with myocardial infarction, the severity of ischemia may be underestimated.

Coronary periarteritis in IgG4-RD: A case series.
Clin Rheumatol
September 2025
Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN, 55906, USA.
Objectives: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) can affect multiple organ systems, with coronary artery involvement being rare. Coronary periarteritis may lead to complications such as myocardial infarction and ischemic cardiomyopathy. This case series characterizes the clinical and radiological features, complications, and treatment strategies in patients with IgG4-RD-associated coronary periarteritis.

Background And Aims: Cold weather is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, but its impact on culprit plaque characteristics in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear.
Methods: This study included 647 STEMI patients who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess untreated culprit lesions. Participants were grouped based on ambient temperature on the day of admission or mean ambient temperatures over the preceding 7-, 14-, 21-, and 28-day periods.

The mature mammalian heart has limited ability for self-repair and regeneration. Here, we establish phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) as a crucial key for cardiomyocyte proliferation, with diminishing expression during postnatal cardiac development. PHGDH overexpression promoted myocardial regeneration and cardiac function in apical resection-operated mice, whereas inhibition by NCT-503 inhibited these processes.

Background: There is no consensus for using statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), because no randomized controlled trial has exclusively investigated statins in this population.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of statins for primary prevention in adults with T1DM.
Methods: We performed a sequential target trial emulation comparing statin initiation vs noninitiation using UK primary care data from the IQVIA Medical Research Data database.
Effect of ECMO Flow Variations on Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock.

Background: The hemodynamic effects of femoro-femoral venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) remain poorly defined. High ECMO flow is believed to increase PCWP and the risk of pulmonary edema; yet, supporting in vivo physiological data are lacking.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of incremental femoro-femoral VA-ECMO flow variations on PCWP, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic parameters in patients with cardiogenic shock during the early phase of VA-ECMO support, after stabilization.
