An electrocardiogram (ECG) in the supine position showed ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, aVF, and reciprocal ST-segment depression in leads V1-V4. Interestingly, these changes resolved when she was in the sitting position. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a giant hiatal hernia slipping under the heart, with no other abnormal findings. During the TAVI procedure, the supine position again triggered chest symptoms, and subsequent coronary angiography demonstrated disruption of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) in the middle portion. Following drainage of the gastric contents, the coronary flow in the LCx improved to normal levels. Cardiac enzymes, including CK-MB, were elevated after TAVI. These findings suggest that the giant hiatal hernia directly compressed the coronary artery, leading to LCx flow disturbance and myocardial infarction.

Furthermore, cell apoptosis was heightened after H/R treatment, but this phenomenon was neutralized after ALO treatment. ALO relieved inflammation in H/R-treated H9C2 rat cardiomyoblast cells. Moreover, ALO strengthened autophagy in H/R-triggered H9C2 rat cardiomyoblast cells through enhancing the LC3II/LC3I level and the LC3B fluorescence intensity.
