Background. Diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract and acute coronary syndrome have similar manifestations of pain syndrome, which may contribute to the patient's postponement of seeking medical help with the development of acute coronary events ...

Background: The HEART score, the T-MACS model and the GRACE score support early decision-making for acute chest pain, which could be complemented by CT coronary angiography (CTCA). However, their performance has not been directly compared.

A mimicry of an acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
A 79-year-old woman was out in the garden having lunch on a hot summer's day. She developed stabbing chest pains more severe on her left side, associated with radiation down her left arm. Severity was 7 out of 10. There was no relief of pain with glyceryl trinitrate spray.

Frailty and acute coronary syndrome: A structured literature review
The health burden of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and frailty is high, but the impact of frailty on ACS treatment and outcomes is uncertain. In this structured literature review, we investigated the relationship between frailty, ACS treatment and ...

ABSTRACT Background Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)‐guided optimization of suboptimal fractional flow reserve (FFR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results in a significant increase in both post‐PCI FFR and minimal lumen and stent areas (MLA and MSA, respectively).

ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood. Aims This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high‐risk subset of patients ...
