🔬 I/R is a challenge in AMI treatment. Here we studied timing of LV unloading, mechanisms of cardioprotection, a drug intervention (rosiglitazone)
🫀Unloading+reperfusion ⬆️ myocardial salvage by 47%, linked to PPARG! Could TZDs enhance cardioprotection?

Exercise to a longer life.
Life expectancy in US for people in the top 25% of physical activity is 10.9 years longer than those in the lowest 25%.
For every 1 hour of daily activity, nearly 3 hours of longer life is gained @bjsm.

Important insights paving the way forward!
This group of younger patients also has a high probability of VAD-mediated myocardial recovery which is an outcome that can improve their long-term prognosis even more:

Really awesome to see this one out as a preprint: In the heart, lactate is directly uptaken into mitochondria via MCT1 for its oxidation! 🫀⚡
Congrats @molecularpepsi @joevisker @jn_velascosilva and beyond. So grateful for being part of it.
Check it out! ⬇️
