When life-threatening conditions appear clinically silent: an atypical presentation of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a 60-year-old female [PDF]

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2016
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a poorly understood phenomenon that usually affects women during pregnancy or the immediate post-partum period. We present the case of a 60-year-old female with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who presented

Coronary artery endothelial dysfunction is positively correlated with low density lipoprotein and inversely correlated with high density lipoprotein subclass particles measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. [PDF]

, 2009
OBJECTIVE: The association between cholesterol and endothelial dysfunction remains controversial. We tested the hypothesis that lipoprotein subclasses are associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction.

Coronary age, based on coronary calcium measurement, is increased in patients with morbid obesity [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: Obesity is a well-known of risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, recently an "obesity paradox" has been discussed, which is considered as a protective effect of obesity on the development coronary artery disease (CAD).

Short dual right coronary artery without obstructive coronary artery disease causing obligatory coronary ischemia

Heart India, 2021
We present an extremely rare case series of two short dual right coronary arteries (RCAs), causing coronary ischemia without the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease. We describe here the presence of short dual RCA in a 55-year-old nondiabetic,

A Novel Computed Tomography-Based Imaging Approach for Etiology Evaluation in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Non-obstructive Coronary Angiography

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Objective: This study sought to investigate the diagnostic value of dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) combined with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients without obstructive coronary angiography.Methods ...

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography in guiding management to optimize outcomes in non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (FAMOUS-NSTEMI): rationale and design of a randomized controlled clinical trial [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Background: In patients with acute non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), coronary arteriography is usually recommended; but visual interpretation of the angiogram is subjective.

Oxidative Stress–Related Genome-Wide Mendelian Randomization Identifies Causal Genes for Coronary Artery Disease

Cardiovascular Therapeutics
Although oxidative stress (OS) links to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD), its underlying genetic mechanisms remain unclear. Through summary data–based Mendelian randomization (SMR) and colocalization, this research seeks to assess the ...
