Background: To study the clinical presentation and coronary angiographic profile in premenopausal women with acute coronary syndrome 2. To compare with the clinical presentation and coronary angiographic profile in postmenopausal women with acute coronary syndrome Method: 43 Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome admitted in department of cardiology King George Hospital Visakhapatnam , who under...

UNLABELLED With the popularization of new imaging technology, more people are deciding to undergo non-invasive studies such as multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT) before receiving coronary angiography. For this reason, coronary anomalies of coronary artery are being encountered more frequently. We here report a 68-year-old male presenting with typical angina. The MDCT images suggested ...

BACKGROUND Computed tomography angiography enables non-invasive evaluation of the coronary arteries. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of 16-slice multi-detector CT angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, and assess coronary bypass grafts and coronary anomalies. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 223 patients who were examined at our medical center over a perio...

Introduction: Coronary artery anomalies are rare clinical entities reported in 0.6% to 5.6% of diagnostic coronary angiographies. Anomalous origins of coronary arteries from distal segments are rarely reported. Presented herein is a coronary anomaly in which the circumflex artery (CX) originated as a continuation of the posterolateral branch of the right coronary artery (RCA) w...

Noninvasive imaging of coronary artery disease is rapidly replacing angiography as the first line of investigation. Multislice CT is the non-invasive modality of choice for imaging coronary artery disease and provides high speed with good spatial resolution. CT coronary angiography in addition to detecting and characterising atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is also a good imaging tool fo...

Major coronary artery anomalies in a pediatric population: incidence and clinical importance. A et al. In vivo detection of coronary artery anomalies in asymptomatic athletes by echocardio-graphic screening. Prospective echocardio-graphic diagnosis and surgical repair of anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus with an interarterial course. Anomalous origin of right coronar...

UNLABELLED Variation of anterior interventricular vein draining into the left atrium is an extremely rare occurrence. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography has recently become the gold standard for depicting anatomical variations and anomalies of coronary arteries and veins. We herein have reported the case of a 36-year-old male whose anterior interventricular vein drain...

Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA) allows a noninvasive assessment of the coronary anatomy without exposing the patients to radiation. It is also superior to coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for the evaluation of luminal narrowing in heavily calcified coronary segments. We report a case with triple-vessel disease, but it could not be accurately assessed by CCTA becaus...
