Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction, Microvascular Angina, and Treatment Strategies

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2015
Angina without coronary artery disease (CAD) has substantial morbidity and is present in 10% to 30% of patients undergoing angiography. Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is present in 50% to 65% of these patients. The optimal treatment of this cohort is undefined.

Plaque Morphology‐Dependent Regression of Tandem Coronary Plaques Under Intensive Lipid‐Lowering Therapy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report a 54‐year‐old woman with stable angina who exhibited heterogeneous responses of tandem left anterior descending artery (LAD) plaques to intensive lipid‐lowering therapy. Coronary CT angiography performed at another hospital suggested diffuse disease, and she presented to our clinic for a second opinion.

Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 799-808, April 2025.
Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers

Journal of the American Heart Association, EarlyView., 2021
Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.
