Safe Deferral of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for Patients With a Low Pretest Probability of Coronary Artery Disease in 2019 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines

PTP was calculated according to the 2013 and 2019 ESC guidelines. The overall mortality, cardiac deaths, myocardial infarctions, and hospitalizations for unstable angina were acquired from national registry data for 1 to 10 years of follow‐up (median, 4 years).

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.

JUNE 11, 2024

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been reported to occur in a significant number of patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Manifestations of CVDs, such as chest pain, abnormal serum markers, unstable angina, myocardial infarction (MI), myocarditis, and new-onset hypertension, were documented.

However, after discharge from hospital, his heart symptoms increased and in May he developed unstable angina. After a successful treatment, he recovered & became Corona negative in April end.

JAMA Intern Med 2019 9. KEY Point: Without knowing anything about this 60-year old patient's prior medical history — the story we are given (ie, 3 weeks of exertional chest pain — but painfree on presenting to the ED ) — provides the definition of angina pectoris.

I believe this is by far the most common outcome for this patient around the world in 2019. Current practice ranges widely, but based on my short experience and reports from other institutions, most of these patients are not being taken emergently to the cath lab in 2019.

OMI is generally of more acute onset, unless there is intermittent angina. I learned more about the history: 30-something African American with 5-7days of sharp R-sided shoulder/scapula/chest discomfort, presented with sinus tachycardia. This history of a week of constant chest pain is also much more suggestive of myocarditis.

Takotsubo is a sudden event, not one with crescendo angina. 9 This dissociation between the degree of stenosis and the propensity to provoke an acute coronary syndrome helps to explain why myocardial infarction often occurs without being heralded by the demand-induced symptoms of angina that would result from a high-grade stenosis.
