BACKGROUND Although Marfan's syndrome is a disease with various phenotypes, but the major mechanism of death is cardiovascular complication. Aortic dissection is a major cause of death in Marfan syndrome. CASE REPORT A 30-year-old man with severe refractory chest and left flank pain and history of previously surgically repaired Type A aortic dissection was referred to the hospital. His typica...

Abstract Background Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) have been previously implicated as a major cause of young sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in exercise-related SCD with reported prevalence up to 33%. Methods A state-wide prospective out-of-hospital arrest registry identified all patients aged 1–50 years who experienced an and underwent autopsy from April 2019 2021. Rates normal anat...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndromes. We present the case of a young woman with an acute coronary syndrome caused by SCAD, where grey-scale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and ChromaFlo were instrumental in deciding against interventional treatment. The patient's urgent angiogram gave the impression of a spiral dissection in the right coronar...

We introduce a case of 45 year-old woman treated for multiple myeloma. In this patient acute coronary syndrome STEMI during chemiotheraphy was occurred. Coronary artery dissection was observed in coronarography. Patient was medically treated with a good outcome. In 3 month follow-up the condition of the patient is stable.

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are one of the leading causes of death and morbidity in industrialized countries. Typical presentation includes acute chest pain, cardiac troponin elevation and possibly associated electrocardiogram abnormalities. In great majority of the cases, myocardial infarction (MI) is due to atherosclerosis, usually with plaque rupture and consequent vessel occlusion. Howev...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Acute aortic syndromes, which include aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating aortic ulcer, represent the most morbid presentations of aortic disease and can be difficult to diagnose. Recent advances in imaging have allowed for more rapid and accurate diagnosis of acute aortic syndromes and the options for managemen...

background: serum n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (nt-probnp), a polypeptide secreted by ventricular myocytes in response to stretch, was suggested as a predictor of adverse prognosis of the acute coronary syndrome (acs). we examined the association between nt-probnp level and angiographic findings in acs patients to determine whether it could be used as a predictor of the severity of ...

abstract background: bruising is an unpleasant result of subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin, which causes physical discomfort, limitation of injection site, patient’s refusal of treatment, and distrust in nurses’ ability. the application of techniques which reduce patients’ fear, anxiety, and physical damage is one of the tasks of nurses. this clinical trial investigated the effect of duratio...

BACKGROUND Information is limited on contemporary use and outcomes of embolic protection devices (EPDs) in saphenous vein graft interventions. METHODS AND RESULTS We formed a longitudinal cohort (2005-2009; n=49 325) by linking National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI Registry to Medicare claims to examine the association between EPD use and both procedural and long-term outcomes among s...
