Electrocardiographic Diagnosis of Left Circumflex Artery Occlusion and the Occlusion Site.

[Electrocardiographic diagnosis of left main coronary artery occlusion].

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2009;62(1):100-8 105 proximal occlusion of the RCA: ST depression in I and ST elevation in II < III and isoelectric in V1, according to the algorithm we published5,6 and is associated with multivessel disease (ST depression in V2-V6).7 The search for electrocardiographic criteria to differentiate LCA disease from other lesions effectively requires prospective studies, especiall...

A comprehensive analysis of myocardial infarction due to left circumflex artery occlusion: comparison with infarction due to right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery occlusion.

Forty consecutive patients with creatine kinase-MB confirmed myocardial infarction due to circumflex artery occlusion (Group 1) were prospectively evaluated and compared with 107 patients with infarction due to right coronary artery occlusion (Group 2) and 94 with left anterior descending artery occlusion (Group 3). All 241 patients underwent exercise thallium-201 scintigraphy, radionuclide ven...

Left circumflex coronary artery occlusion due to a left atrial appendage closure device

Nowadays, percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure is spreading, and a large number of patients with this procedure have concomitant coronary artery disease. With the presented case it could be concluded that coronary angiography is recommended before LAA closure.

Congenital Absence of Left Circumflex Coronary Artery

Congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. The prevalence of the anomaly in different studies ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%. Of these, 80% are benign and asymptomatic and 20% are clinically important. We report a 56-year-old man presented with acute resting chest pain who was diagnosed as having acute anterolateral infarction accompanied by el...
