OBJECTIVES The goal of the present study was to develop a strategy for three-dimensional (3D) volume acquisition along the major axes of the coronary arteries. BACKGROUND For high-resolution 3D free-breathing coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), coverage of the coronary artery tree may be limited due to excessive measurement times associated with large volume acquisitions. Planning ...

BACKGROUND The ability to image the coronary arteries noninvasively would represent an advance in patient care. We have developed a magnetic resonance (MR) angiographic technique that allows the acquisition of complete images of coronary flow within a single breath-hold. By this method, the feasibility of noninvasive MR coronary angiography was evaluated in 25 subjects, including 19 healthy adu...

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. CVDs a group disorders heart and blood vessels include coronary disease, cerebrovascular rheumatic other conditions. More than four out five CVD deaths due to attacks strokes, one-third these occur prematurely in people under 70 years age. India has one highest b...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial alcohol ablation (PTSMAA) is not a procedure without complications. It may produce heart arrhythmias, especially those due to disturbances of atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (IV) electrical conduction. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the anatomical patterns of the right coronary artery ...

a double left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery emerging from the left and right coronary arteries is classified among rare coronary anomalies. we herein report a 73-year-old man presenting with acute coronary syndrome (posterolateral myocardial infarction). he was admitted with typical chest pain, and due to his progressive ischemic changes on electrocardiography (ecg) and elevated car...

The A-V node, bundle and bundle branches were grossly dissected in 41 human hearts. The method for this dissection is described. Given also are the sizes of the individual structures with advancing age. These structures grow more slowly than the remainder of the myocardium. T HE dissectability of the A-V node, bundle, and bundle branches in the human heart has been questioned. Retzer1 originall...

background: dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (cad), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. however, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. case presentation: a 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus ...

Objectives: Despite widespread use of smokeless tobacco (ST) in Pakistan, a very limited empirical evidence have been reported regarding its impact on the coronary anatomy and obstructions. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare angiographic profile users smokers with non-tobacco presented acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methodology: Consecutive patients AMI were stratified four grou...
