Relationship between uric acid to albumin ratio and saphenous vein graft disease in patients with coronary artery bypass graft

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective Saphenous vein graft disease (SVGD) remains a challenging issue for patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods We retrospectively enrolled 237 patients who underwent elective coronary angiography (CAG) for stable angina or positive stress test results >1 year after CABG.

ECG in LMCA Stenosis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Such a pattern is consistent with significant left main coronary artery stenosis. Angiography done after initial stabilization showed severe stenosis of distal left main coronary artery. This patient had reported with recent onset angina. ST elevation was 2 mm in aVR and 1 mm in V1.

The role of physiology in the contemporary management of coronary artery disease

Heart BMJ

In patients with chronic coronary syndrome, revascularisation did not demonstrate prognostic advantage in terms of mortality over optimal medical therapy (OMT). However, revascularisation of coronary stenosis, which induces myocardial ischaemia, has demonstrated better outcome than OMT alone.

Abstract 4142012: Ectasias of Multiple Coronary Arteries and a Coronary Cameral Fistula Between Right Coronary Artery and Coronary Sinus

Circulation

Coronary angiography revealed a tortuous and extremely aneurysmal RCA, as well as multivessel coronary artery disease (mvCAD) involving LAD, D1, LCx, OM1. Notably, the LAD had multiple aneurysmal segments and areas of eccentric stenosis upto 90%.Multislice CCF can be congenital or acquired and has many variations.

Are there hyperacute T-waves? And how can we know?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Angiogram: Severe two-vessel coronary artery disease of a left dominant system including 70 to 80% stenosis involving the distal left main/bifurcation. The estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 64%. There is no left ventricular wall motion abnormality identified. Smith: not sure why that is.
