A substantial number of myocardial infarctions (MIs) are asymptomatic or associated with mi-nor and atypical symptoms. These symptoms are often atypical or even absent, especially in di-abetic patients. A number of studies on this topic have shown that in the presence of myocardial ischemia and infarction, diabetic patients report angina less frequently than non-diabetic pa-tients. In this article review, we researched several published articles written about this subject and investigated the relationship between Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in patients and the occur-rence of silent myocardial ischemia and infarction due to the onset of diabetic neuropathy (DN), which is brought about by prolonged diabetes. Based on our research of published articles and studies, we found overwhelming evidence that supports the fact that diabetic autonomic neu-ropathy (DAN) is a major contributing factor in the morbidity of silent myocardial ischemia and infarction among patients suffering from DM.

AbstractAnomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) accounts for 0.023% of all cases reported in pediatric patients. According to literature, only a handful of ALCAPA patients are able to reach adulthood. Clinical manifestations of ALCAPA range from fatigue during exercise to sudden death in adulthood. Herein, we described a 12-year-old symptomatic patient with ALCAPA who had severe chest pain after using salbutamol treatment for presumed asthma. ALCAPA is one of the curable versions of myocardial ischemia and infarction in childhood. Due to clinical findings in conjunction with electrocardiogram and echocardiography, a computed tomography scan with coronary angiography was performed and the diagnosis of ALCAPA was confirmed. We presented this case because ALCAPA-related myocardial ischemia and infarction in children are rare with only sporadic cases reported. This case illustrated the need for close monitoring and surgery as the best treatment for ALCAPA associated with myocardial infarction.

Myocardial infarction is a prevalent major cardiovascular event that arises from myocardial ischemia with or without reperfusion, and basic and translational research is needed to better understand its underlying mechanisms and consequences for cardiac structure and function. Ischemia underlies a broad range of clinical scenarios ranging from angina to hibernation to permanent occlusion, and while reperfusion is mandatory for salvage from ischemic injury, reperfusion also inflicts injury on its own. In this consensus statement, we present recommendations for animal models of myocardial ischemia and infarction. With increasing awareness of the need for rigor and reproducibility in designing and performing scientific research to ensure validation of results, the goal of this review is to provide best practice information regarding myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and infarction models.
