In animal models of STEMI, the application of hypothermia (32–34°C) is effective in reducing reperfusion injury. hypothermia attenuates different damaging components of reperfusion-injury and activates various cardioprotective signalling pathways @ESC_Journals
Pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion
This technology represents the ‘percutaneous’ evolution of the very old concept of perfusing the heart in a ‘backwards’ fashion via the coronary sinus (CS). @mmamas1973@DFCapodanno@mirvatalasnag@CMichaelGibson @Hragyesc
Patients with heart failure should be evaluated for atrial fibrillation or subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmias. Decision to anticoagulate depends on the CHA2DS2-VASc score. #MedTwitter

CMR can visualize the entire spectrum of functional and structural changes that occur in patients with TTS.
In the acute phase, CMR is recommended in doubtful TTS cases, especially if diagnosis of another type of MINOCA (e.g. myocarditis) requires a different therapeutic approach
Although the role of nuclear imaging in TTS has not yet been well established in clinical practice, myocardial perfusion and sympathetic nerve innervation can be assessed by SPECT and MIBG. #EACVIBestof2020#EACVIMMI#WhyCMR
