A possible mechanism of spontaneous coronary dissection: coronary artery ectasia
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is usually defined as the enlargement of all layers of coronary artery segment, with the diameter of the ectatic segment being more than 1.5 times larger than that of the normal segment. Atherosclerotic lesions within the ectatic regions of the coronary arteries appear to be highly inflamed high-risk plaques with proclivity to rupture. However, there is only limite...
متن کاملA New Mechanism of Vasospasm?
Endothelin-1 is an endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor peptide. Its circulating levels are below those known to evoke direct vascular effects. To study whether low concentrations of endothelin-1 potentiate the effects of other vasoconstrictor hormones, we suspended isolated human internal mammary and left anterior descending coronary artery rings in organ chambers for isometric tension recordin...
متن کامل[Severe coronary vasospasm].
A 50-year-old man, with chronic kidney disease and on dialysis, underwent coronary angiography in the context of acute coronary syndrome, which revealed focal lesions (type A) in the proximal left anterior descending and mid circumflex arteries. Ad-hoc angioplasty was performed on both lesions with direct stenting. An immediate drop in arterial blood pressure was observed and the angiogram show...
متن کاملRituximab-Induced Coronary Vasospasm
Rituximab has improved the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. While it is generally well tolerated, serious adverse effects including infusion reactions with hemodynamic compromise and cardiac arrhythmias or ischemia are possible. We report a case of coronary vasospasm occurring during a rituximab infusion in a patient with minimal tumour burden and who had no cardiac risk factors. This...
متن کاملCapecitabine-Induced Coronary Vasospasm
Capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is approved for early-stage and advanced colorectal cancer and metastatic breast cancer. Cardiotoxicity of 5-FU is well described in the literature. However, cardiac adverse effects of capecitabine are poorly described. We report a case of coronary vasospasm induced by capecitabine. A 41-year-old female with metastatic breast cancer presen...
