Rheumatoid Arthritis and Coronary Artery Calcium Progression: A Case Cohort Analysis from ELSA‐Brasil

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective To investigate the association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) prevalence, incidence, and progression over four years in adults without prior cardiovascular disease. Methods A case‐cohort study within ELSA‐Brasil included 585 participants (86 RA, 499 controls). Longitudinal analyses were restricted to those

Primary congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries and relation to atherosclerosis: an angiographic study in Lebanon

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2009
Background Most coronary artery anomalies are congenital in origin. This study angiographically determined the prevalence of different forms of anomalous aortic origins of coronary anomalies and their anatomic variation in a selected adult Lebanese ...

Double Vessel Coronary Angioplasty in a Patient with Anomalous Single Coronary Artery Arising from the Right Cusp and Premature Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2021
We report a rare case of a 39-year-old male who presented with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI). Coronary angiography revealed an anomalous single coronary artery arising from the right coronary cusp.

The role of septal perforators and "myocardial bridging effect" in atherosclerotic plaque distribution in the coronary artery disease [PDF]

, 2015
The distribution of atherosclerotic plaque burden in the human coronary arteries is not uniform. Plaques are located mostly in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), then in the right coronary artery (RCA), circumflex branch (LCx) and the left main ...

Raman Microscopy at the Organic–Inorganic Interfaces in Human Calcified Aortic Valves Shows the Co‐Existence of Whitlockite Crystals and Carbonated Hydroxyapatite‐Mineralized Collagen Fibrils

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances our understanding of aortic valve stenosis by capturing spatially resolved chemical and structural changes at the nanoscale. The findings highlight the potential of combined Raman and electron microscopy for understanding calcification mechanisms across diverse tissue types.

Coronary atheroma [14 cm] extracted from the right coronary artery during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal, 2017
Coronary endarterectomy is a good option for surgical revascularization in diffusely coronary artery disease. In coronary artery bypass surgery, a diffusely diseased right coronary artery is an obstruction to accomplishing complete myocardial ...

Isolated Right Ventricular Infarction Mimicking Anterior ST-Segment Elevation [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Acute coronary syndromes in patients with presence of ST-segment elevation in the anterior precordial leads indicates left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. However, anterior ST-segment elevation has also been described in right ventricular

Accidental finding of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm associated with a fistula to the right atrium [PDF]

, 2014
Coronary artery fistulae are uncommon but may be haemodynamically significant, being an incidental finding in 0.1-0.2% of coronary angiograms. Even rarer is the association between fistulae and non-atherosclerotic coronary artery aneurysms.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...
