Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...

Ephedrine, metaraminol, epinephrine and maneuvers like carotid sinus stimulation used during intraoperative period have been postulated to cause temporary spasm of the coronary vessels leading decrease supply myocardium precipitating myocardial infraction in non-obstructive arteries (MINOCA). As an anaesthesiologists, we should be aware that even a dose as small 25 mcg infiltrated along with lo...

Study Design: Observational Descriptive study. Setting: Department Cardiology, National Institute Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), Karachi. Period: January July 2017.

background: recent studies have suggested that chronic infections with chlamydia pneumoniae (cpn) and helicobacter pylori (hp) may be associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (mi). methods: a cross sectional study was conducted on 140 citizens. seroprevalence was assessed by elisa tests measuring iga and igg antibodies to cpn and hp in sera. results: among patients, %11.4 and %90.0 wer...

In clinical practice, stress testing might be performed due to lack of typical ST segment elevation in Wellens’ syndrome to obtain more evidence of cardiac ischemia. However, increasing cardiac demand during stress testing may result in acute myocardial infraction, and even fatal dysrhythmia and death [5]. Therefore, it is essential to consider the coronary angiogram as the initial diagnostic m...
