The pain started suddenly when he was skiing halfway down the slope and went into a tuck position. Physical examination was significant for elevated jugular venous distension. His electrocardiogram…

Women with angina but no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) at coronary angiography have long been considered a low-risk population.1–3 Instead, data from the Women‘s ischaemia syndrome evaluation (WISE) study4 demonstrated that persistent chest pain (PChP) – also in the absence of CAD – is not a benign condition. These patients experienced major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as…

Previously considered to be separate disease entities, the acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are somewhat arbitrarily divided on the basis of their electrocardiographic manifestations and are now thought to arise from a common disease process. Based on a number of factors, the severity of the ACS and, consequently, their attendant clinical risk may vary. The management of patients with ACS should…

Ischaemic heart disease is the leading single cause of death in the US and elsewhere, and a major health problem worldwide.1 The direct cost of hospitalisations for ischaemic heart disease in the US alone is enormous and amounts to more than US$15 billion. Consequently, it is very important to facilitate more definitive ischaemia evaluation while avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions of non…

Women have for many years been regarded as being at relatively low risk for the development of ischaemic heart disease (IHD).1,2 Recently this pattern has changed and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now the leading cause of death for women in Europe.3,4 Under the age of 60 years acute coronary syndrome occurs 3–4 times more often in men; however, after the age of 75 years women represent the…
