简介:Traumatic coronary artery dissection is a very rare cause of myocardial infarction. Occurrence of this condition late in the posttraumatic period is extremely uncommon. We present a case of a young patient with acute myocardial infarction 4 weeks after blunt chest trauma. Coronary angiography sho...
This is defined according to the Leaman score (23). In the case of right dominance (when the AV node and posterior descending artery originate from the right coronary artery), the left coronary trunk provides 84% of blood flow to the left ventricle, with 66% corresponding to the anterior ...

based on coronary anatomical imaging determined by CT scans; two-dimensional regions of interest (ROIs) with a diameter of 1–2 mm were selected manually to target the coronary vessels, including the left main coronary artery (LMCA), the left anterior descending (LAD), the left circumflex (LCx...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex inflammatory disease involving genetic influences across cell types. Genome-wide association studies have identified over 200 loci associated with CAD, where the majority of risk variants reside in noncoding DNA sequences impacting cis-regulatory elements. Here...
At that time, coronary angiography demonstrated calcific thrombotic occlusion in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and stenosis in proximal and mid tubular RCA. It was decided to proceed with immediate PCI of LAD followed by staged PCI of RCA. The patient presented with unstable angina at...
Cademartiri et al (2010) compared the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and CTCA for the assessment of non-obstructive/obstructive CAD in high-risk asymptomatic subjects. A total of 213 consecutive asymptomatic subjects (113 males; mean age of 53.6 +/- 12.4 years) with more than 1 risk ...
CACS = coronary artery calcium score; CP = calcified plaque; IQR = interquartile range; LAD = left anterior descending; LCX = left circumflex; NCP = noncalcified plaque; PCP = partially calcified plaque; RCA = right coronary artery; other abbreviations as in Tables 1, 2, and 3. ∗ Adju...
RCA, right coronary artery. Cx, left circumflex. LM, left main (Color version of figure is available online). Correlation Analysis Visual and quantitative evaluation of calcified plaque area were highly correlated to the Opacity Score (r=0.81, 95% CI 0.76-0.86 for the visual, and r=0.83, ...
