Acute coronary syndrome in Dextrocardia
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021Situs inversus with dextrocardia is both a clinical and diagnostic challenge for emergency physicians to properly identify acute coronary syndrome. While dextrocardia itself does not independently increase the risk of coronary artery disease, mirrored symptoms, including right-sided and rightward radiating chest pain in any patient with cardiac risk ...

Acute coronary syndromes are defined as unstable angina, non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, and Q-wave myocardial infarction. These entities remain among the commonest life-threatening illnesses in industrialized nations. Prompt recognition of a patient with an acute coronary syndrome is important since appropriate therapy can markedly improve the ...

Troponins in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Seminars in Vascular Medicine, 2003Delivering superior clinical specificity and sensitivity for myocardial necrosis, cardiac troponin has replaced creatine kinase-MB as the preferred biomarker for establishing the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. On the basis of expert recommendations, present convention sets the diagnostic decision-limit for each assay at the 99th percentile of ...

Acute Coronary and Acute Aortic Syndromes
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2019Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) can provide crucial information and rapid triage of emergency department patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or acute aortic syndrome (AAS). Coronary computed tomography angiography has high negative predictive value to rule out ACS, and MDCT is diagnostic for AAS and its variants ...

Enoxaparin in acute coronary syndromes
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2007Enoxaparin is a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) derivative that exerts its anticoagulant activity through antithrombin III, an endogenous inhibitor of factor Xa and thrombin IIa. Unlike its unfractionated heparin (UFH) counterparts, enoxaparin has a greater bioavailability, lower incidence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and more stable and ...

Thrombosis and Acute coronary syndrome
Thrombosis Research, 2012Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent the main clinical manifestation of atherosclerotic progression in the coronary district. Thrombosis plays a critical role in the patho-anatomical of ACS, as disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque exposes flowing blood to subendothelial collagen, tissue factor, and other procoagulant molecules that trigger ...

Atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes
Cardiovascular Pathology, 2005In the past 20 years, there has been much new knowledge discovered on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and complicated and vulnerable plaques leading to a better understanding of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The role of thrombosis, lipid metabolism, and inflammation has been investigated at the cellular and molecular levels, resulting in ...
