Article Abstract
Background: In acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS), low mean arterial pressure (MAP) can reduce cerebral perfusion, potentially resulting in coma. While both MAP and coma on admission are critical prognostic factors, the relationship between them and their prognostic significance based on coma status remains unclear.
Methods And Results: A retrospective analysis of 543 AMI-CS patients was conducted. The overall median MAP was 77 mmHg, with no significant difference between the coma and non-coma groups. The coma group had a higher 30-day mortality compared with the non-coma group (50% vs. 29%; P<0.001). The area under the curve for MAP predicting 30-day mortality was 0.723 (P<0.001) in the coma group, with a cut-off MAP of 76.3 mmHg (sensitivity 0.66, specificity 0.69), but was insignificant in the non-coma group (AUC 0.543; P=0.176). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed higher mortality with low MAP (<77 mmHg) in the coma group, whereas MAP had no significant impact in the non-coma group. Multivariate Cox regression identified low MAP as an independent prognostic factor in the coma group only.
Conclusions: The associations between MAP and prognosis differ depending on the coma status in AMI-CS. Low MAP is a prognostic factor for mortality only in patients with coma. This study highlights the need for treatment strategies tailored to neurological status.

Aims: Acute restraint stress (RS) has been reported to activate the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus (SON). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of glutamatergic neurotransmission in the SON on autonomic [mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and tail cutaneous temperature], neuroendocrine (plasma levels of corticosterone, oxytocin, and vasopressin), and behavioral responses to RS.
Methods: Male Wistar rats with bilateral SON cannulas received microinjections of NMDA or non-NMDA receptor antagonists or vehicle before restraint stress, and the effects on cardiovascular, tail temperature, hormonal, and behavioral responses were evaluated RESULTS: Microinjection of DL-AP7 or NBQX into the SON reduced MAP increases and tail temperature decreases induced by RS.

Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive disease resulting from elevated pulmonary arterial pressure leading to right ventricular failure and death. Optimal adherence and persistence to medical therapy are necessary to improve outcomes. The objective of this study was to characterize adherence and persistence to first-line PAH therapies in patients newly initiating treatment.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death worldwide and the most common precursor to heart failure, even after initial treatment. Precise evaluation of myocardial injury is crucial for assessing interventions and improving outcomes. Extensive evidence from both preclinical models and clinical studies demonstrates that the extent and severity of myocardial injury (i.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between pulse pressure (PP) and age-related structural brain changes including brain volumes, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), fractional anisotropy, silent brain lesions, microbleeds, cerebral blood flow and metabolism, and beta-amyloid accumulation.
Methods: Systematic review of PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and Ovid Embase (from inception to January 2023) and references of included studies among adult populations was conducted. Findings were summarized narratively and by performing a fixed-effects meta-analysis.

Objectives: To determine the discriminatory capacity of maternal ophthalmic artery (OA) Doppler parameters at 18-24 weeks of gestation for predicting pre-eclampsia (PE) in a south Indian population and to compare its predictive ability with known markers of pre-eclampsia like mean arterial pressure (MAP) and uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI).
Methods: This was a single-center prospective observational study of normotensive pregnant women presenting for routine ultrasound screening between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation. OA and UtA Doppler were performed on all enrolled participants who were followed up for subsequent development of PE.
