Ischemia-Related Lesion Characteristics in Patients With Stable or Unstable Angina [PDF]
Background Postmortem-derived findings support the common beliefs that lipid-rich coronary plaques with a thin, fibrous cap are prone to rupture and that rupture and superimposed thrombosis are the primary mechanisms causing acute coronary syndromes.

ABSTRACT Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) enhances treatment of complex coronary artery lesions, including left main (LM) disease, by enabling lesion morphology assessment and stent optimization, thereby reducing major adverse cardiac events (MACE).

Coronary angioplasty early after diagnosis of unstable angina [PDF]
Coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed early after diagnosis of unstable angina in 71 patients who responded favorably with initial pharmacologic treatment and who also had persistent exertional angina. The patients selected for PTCA had predominantly

ABSTRACT Background High‐altitude populations typically exhibit elevated hemoglobin (Hb) levels due to chronic hypoxic exposure; however, the impact of this elevation on the risk of ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. Existing evidence is primarily derived from low‐altitude populations and cannot be directly extrapolated
