the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (rca) as a branch from the left anterior descending artery (lad) is a very rare variation of the single coronary artery anomaly. the anomalous vessel arises from the proximal or midportion of the lad and courses anterior to the pulmonary artery trunk in most instances. in this case report, a 61-year-old woman is introduced who underwent coronary...

Objective: To determine frequency and patterns of coronary artery disease in patients with glomerular hyper filtration (GHF), presented acute syndrome (ACS). Study Design: Cross Sectional, Retrospective study. Setting: Tertiary Healthcare Centre, Karachi. Period: July 2018 to 2021. Material & Methods: Twelve hundred sixty seven undergone Coronary angiography (CAG) for ACS having estimated r...

Background: Transradial coronary angiography has established itself as safe alternative to transfemoral approach. Today, the artery of approach lies completely on the operator’s choice. The Right Radial Approach (RRA) has been a favorite for most of the interventional cardiologists due to the convenience in operating from the right side. The Left Radial Approach (LRA) has always been a neglecte...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to assess semi-quantification of myocardial perfusion using adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-stress myocardial perfusion computed tomography (MPCT) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS Seventeen patients with CAD underwent ATP-stress MPCT, stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) and coronary angiography (CAG). With ...

BACKGROUND Although coronary artery lesions are critical complications of Kawasaki disease, their long-term outcome is still unclear. It is sometimes difficult to monitor progressive changes from aneurysms to stenotic lesions because coronary angiography (CAG) cannot be repeated very often, especially in infants. Our prospective study was designed to evaluate the prognostic value of dipyridamol...

Introduction: Inflammation plays a role in coronary artery disease (CAD). The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte (MLR) and platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) are blood parameters associated with inflammation. We aimed to perform systematic comparison study the predictive values of these inflammatory respect CAD stage. Method: A total 513 patients who had undergone angiography (CAG) w...

Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and coronary features of patients with coronary ectasia and aneurysm (CEA) in China. Methods: This was a single center, retrospective clinical study. Patients with CEA who diagnosed by coronary artery angiography (CAG) from April 2003 to October 2009, were enrolled. All patients were followed up by the call or clinic visit. The primary outcome...
