In the ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial, researchers examined the risk of ischemic events in patients with stable coronary artery disease. years, with 57.1% occurring within 30 days after CABG.

Increased Blood Clot Risk: Smoking enhances the bloods clotting tendency, raising the risk of heart attacks and strokes. These factors contribute to a host of cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias, making smokers significantly more vulnerable to heart-related illnesses.

Coronary angiography revealed a tortuous and extremely aneurysmal RCA, as well as multivessel coronary artery disease (mvCAD) involving LAD, D1, LCx, OM1. Multislice CT angiography further characterized the RCA, which extends to the coronary sinus (CS) distally forming a coronary cameral fistula (CCF).

The patient was brought directly to the cardiac catheterization lab for PCI, bypassing the ED. The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. In the cath lab, the patient’s blood pressure remained low.

Studies have shown that an increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) is associated with worse outcomes in various cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, and coronary artery disease (CAD).
