Left Main Coronary Artery Ostial Stenosis in a Pediatric Patient With Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Pediatric resuscitated sudden cardiac arrest may result from diverse conditions and, therefore, warrants a comprehensive work-up. Although rare, coronary artery abnormalities must be ruled out in these patients.

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

The endothelial glycocalyx prefers albumin for evoking shear stress-induced, nitric oxide-mediated coronary dilatation [PDF]
Background: Shear stress induces coronary dilatation via production of nitric oxide ( NO). This should involve the endothelial glycocalyx ( EG). A greater effect was expected of albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch ( HES) perfusion, because albumin seals ...

The relationship between oxidised LDL, endothelial progenitor cells and coronary endothelial function in patients with CHD [PDF]
Objective The balance between coronary endothelial dysfunction and repair is influenced by many protective and deleterious factors circulating in the blood.

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,

Stable coronary syndromes: pathophysiology, diagnostic advances and therapeutic need [PDF]
The diagnostic management of patients with angina pectoris typically centres on the detection of obstructive epicardial CAD, which aligns with evidence-based treatment options that include medical therapy and myocardial revascularisation.

Myocardial ischemia after orthotopic liver transplantation [PDF]
A hypercoagulable state exists after orthotopic liver transplantation. This hematologic abnormality may predispose patients to coronary thrombosis and unstable angina.

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