Multiple variations of congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries exist that may occur in isolation or in association with other congenital anomalies. They can cause myocardial ischaemia. A rare but potentially lethal condition is the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. As pulmonary pressures fall in newborns with this condition, myocardial perfusion becomes… View more

Heterogeneous Populations

Mounting evidence suggests that atherosclerosis begins in early childhood,1,2 possibly already during foetal life.3 This underscores the importance of primary prevention in early life. As many people suffering from atherosclerotic disease lack conventional risk factors (e.g. heredity, dyslipidaemia, smoking, obesity, diabetes and hypertension), interest has gradually increased in research on 'non… View more

Myocardial Infarction With Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries
Author(s): Sivabaskari Pasupathy , Rosanna Tavella , Simon McRae , et al Added: 3 years ago
Early coronary angiography performed during acute MI (AMI) identifies an occluded vessel in most patients with ST elevation MI (STEMI)1 and less frequently in those with non-STEMI;2 however, ≥90 % of patients with AMI have evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease.3 For these patients with overt coronary artery disease (CAD), the benefits of reperfusion strategies and cardioprotective… View more

AF Symposium 24 — Dr Yury Malyshev (Mount Sinai Hospital, US) joins us to discuss the findings from three studies focusing on the long-term effects of pulsed-field ablation (PFA) on coronary arteries.QuestionsWhat is known currently about the effect of PFA in Coronary Arteries? What is the importance of this topic?What was the study design and cohort?What are the key findings?Who are the take… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia

It took great courage around 30 years ago to tackle stenotic lesions within a diseased coronary artery using the percutaneous approach in an unanaesthetised human being. Since then, unbelievable progress and research have been taking place worldwide in a continuum that never seems to end. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is, for the responsible interventional cardiologist, not only an… View more

Up to 50% of patients who undergo elective coronary angiography for stable chest pain symptoms that are mainly related to exercise and typical enough to suggest the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are found to have normal or near-normal coronary arteries.1 The mechanisms responsible for angina chest pain in these patients are heterogeneous; accordingly, their identification… View more

A Multicentre, Open-Label, Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Appropriate Target Values for Lipid Management in Patients who Have Mild to Moderate Stenotic Lesions with High-Risk Plaques in Coronary Arteries: Study Protocol
Author(s): Morihiro Matsuda , Koji Hasegawa Added: 3 years ago
Aims: To investigate the efficacy of strict lipid management by secondary prevention high-risk criteria in preventing major cardiovascular events and progression of coronary artery stenosis in study subjects without proven history of coronary artery diseases (CAD) who have non-occlusive lesions with unstable plaques or severe calcification detected by coronary artery CT (CACT), in comparison with… View more

Computed tomography (CT) of the heart combines X-ray images with the aid of a computer to generate cross-sectional views of the body. Cardiac CT uses advanced CT technology with or without intravenous contrast dye to visualise cardiac anatomy, coronary circulation, and the great vessels. Cardiac CT is especially useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic… View more
