Relationship between peri-coronary inflammation and coronary vascular function in patients with suspected coronary artery disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between the attenuation of peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and the assessment of coronary vascular functions using coronary flow reserve (CFR).

The prevalence of coronary artery disease in patients presenting with ‘non-anginal chest pain’

The British Journal of Cardiology

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) advise against routine testing for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with non-anginal chest pain (NACP). Patients in group 3 were more likely to be hypertensive (p=0.008) and have higher Qrisk2 scores (p<0.001) when compared with those in group 1.

Second degree AVB Mobitz Type II

ECG Guru

She has arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease. This ECG is from an 80-year-old lady who has collapsed or had sycopal episodes several times. The ECG comes from a Holter monitor. The ECG shows a second-degree, Mobitz Type II AV block. In both types of AVB, the PP intervals are usually the same.

Abstract 4144277: Analysis risk factors of long-term adverse outcomes and construction of nomogram based on fractional flow reserve for coronary artery disease patients with an intermediate stenosis

Circulation

The nomogram consists of age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), hyperuricemia, and FFR≤0.8 The prediction efficiency of nomogram was evaluated by multiple methods, including C-index, area under the curve (AUC), calibration curves and decision-curve analysis (DCA).Results:During Results:During a median follow-up of 6.2

Genetically predicted lipids mediate the association between intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and cardiovascular disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, the influence of ICP on cardiovascular disease (CVD), including hypertension (HTN) and coronary artery disease (CAD), has not been thoroughly investigated.MethodsThis study explores the causal relationship between ICP and CVD (HTN, CAD) using Mendelian Randomization (MR). 4% of pregnancies.
