Adverse clinical consequences associated with conventional coronary artery bypass surgery (CCAB) have largely been attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (CPB), hypothermic cardiac arrest, aortic cannulation and cross-clamping. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in safer alternatives to CCAB including off-pump beating heart bypass surgery (OPCAB). Since the introduction of…

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…

It is a great pleasure for me to introduce the International Society of Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy (ISCP) section on cardiovascular pharmacotherapy. This issue features a variety of excellent manuscripts on intriguing topics, including the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin, the effects of statins on T-cell function in acute coronary syndrome in Asian populations, and the cost…

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, with 85% of cardiovascular deaths attributed to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stroke.1 The development of coronary atherosclerosis and subsequent plaque disruption, predominantly from plaque rupture or erosion, is responsible for the majority of ACS presentations. Persistent occlusion of the coronary artery due to thrombus,…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging modality for diagnostic cardiology and research. This imaging method provides combined diagnostic information of different tissue characteristics, such as the visualisation of the vascular tree and cardiac anatomy and function, as well as measurements of blood flow in the vessels, ventricular wall motion, myocardial perfusion and viability…

Pathophysiology of COVID-19-related Cardiac Injury
Acute myocarditis is a potentially life-threatening disease, which is most commonly caused by a viral infection. Among the viruses, the most cited are enteroviruses (especially coxsackievirus), adenovirus and parvovirus B19 and, rarely, coronavirus.
Recently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory…
