Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors Decrease the Risk of Cardiac Rupture after Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. ACEI therapy decreases mortality in patients with acute MI. However, the effects of ACEIs on CR are unclear.

A comprehensive search of PUBMED, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials before July 2022 was conducted to identify all RCTs on ACEIs that recorded CR as an outcome. Review Manager 5.3 was used to analyze the data.

Five RCTs including 26,383 patients with MI were identified; 71 of the 13,159 patients receiving ACEIs and 107 of the 13,224 control patients were verified to have CR. ACEI therapy started within 24 hours after the onset of acute MI significantly decreased the risk of CR, by 33% (RR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.50–0.90, P=0.008).

Early administration of ACEIs (within 24 hours after the onset of acute MI) decrease the incidence of CR in patients with acute MI.

AHA @ GW-ICC AHA-BCVS Joint Forum – Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology (GW-ICC) 2017 – Repairing the Heart after Myocardial Infarction

It has become a tradition for world renowned cardiology associations to send delegations to GW-ICC congresses.

Professor Jeroen J. Bax, President, European Society of Cardiology (ESC), Professor John Warner, President, American Heart Association (AHA), and Professor Mary N. Walsh, President, American College of Cardiology (ACC), led delegations attending the 28th GW-ICC, to present latest international guidance, cutting-edge diagnosis and information on treatment with emerging technologies.

Cooperation with these international societies is not limited to their attendance at GW-ICC; GW-ICC also holds reciprocal academic sessions at the annual meetings of these eminent societies, for example GW-ICC @ ACC, GW-ICC @ AHA, and GW @ ESC, to introduce important Chinese academic research.

At the 28th GW-ICC in 2017, the AHA @ GW-ICC Joint Forum, which was held over three sessions, focused on population health, guidelines and real-world evidence; cardiovascular disease prevention: hypertension, smoking cessation and blood lipid management and systems of STEMI care.

A video of one of these 2017 sessions is now available to view on the GW-ICC YouTube channel:

Repairing the Heart after Myocardial Infarction

Presenter: Steven R. Houser PhD, FAHA, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Professor Houser discusses the following:

  • How can the heart be repaired following MI to prevent HF from developing?
  • A treatment that can cause replacement of injured/dead tissue with normal heart is the ‘holy grail’ of the field.
  • In the presenter’s view, there is no effective regenerative therapy at this time.
  • The presenters research has identified a cell, derived from bone stroma that has characteristics that should aid the repair of the heart after MI.
  • The cell is undergoing further testing at present.

Further information on the 29th GW-ICC, to be held October 11th -14th, 2018, in Beijing, China, is available on the congress website:
