High blood pressure (hypertension) is a non-communicable disease that can cause death and many complications, especially complications related to the cardiovascular system. According data from Indonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018, prevalence of hypertension Indonesia was 8.36%. Hypertension controllable risk factor for acute coronary syndrome. One causes rarely doing physical ac...

Pericarditis with pericardial effusion in acute coronary syndrome is seen in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction specifically when infarction is anterior, extensive, and Q wave. It is very uncommon to have pericardial effusion in a patient with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We present an elderly hypertensive patient who was diagnosed as non-ST-elevation myocardial infarct...

Coronary artery dissection is a feared and potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We examined the clinical, angiographic, procedural characteristics, outcomes at tertiary care institution. Between 2014 2019, unplanned occurred in 141 10,278 PCIs (1.4%). Patient age was 68 (60, 78) years, 68% were men, 83% had hypertension. The prevalence diabetes ...

Subacutely progressed tensive aortic dissection complicated with catheter-induced dissection in left main coronary artery. We read with great interest the report by Yazici et al [1]. The authors presented a case of a 66-year-old patient with bilateral anterior chest wall ecchymosis suffering from a subacute type A aortic dissection. The patient was successfully managed, and the postoperative co...

Coronary artery dissection is an infrequent cause of acute coronary syndrome in the general population. There is, however, a greater incidence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in young women, especially in the peripartum period. However, the majority of cases have favorable outcomes with medical management or percutaneous coronary intervention; coronary artery bypass grafting (C...

The spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries (SCAD) is rare and few data are available in the worldwide literature. Several diseases and conditions have been associated with SCAD, such as atherosclerosis, connective tissue disorders and the peripartum episode. Cocaine addiction is one of causes of the disease in young patients. In this paper we present a case report of a patient with a a...

Abstract Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a potential cause of acute syndrome and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Coronary fibromuscolar dysplasia (FMD) has been correlated to SCAD occurrence.The prevalence FMD among SCD victims are unclear. Myocardial infarction with non-obstructed arteries (MINOCA) could represent SCD. Since clinically manifest as myocardial infarction,...

The clinical manifestations and natural history of acute aortic intramural hemorrhage are not well characterized. Therefore, we have evaluated the differences in the clinical features and prognosis between acute intramural hemorrhage and acute classic aortic dissection. One hundred two consecutive patients with acute aortic syndrome were diagnosed between November 1994 and May 1999. The clinica...

Background Both acute aortic dissection and ruptured aortic aneurysm are leading causes of death in cardiovascular disease. These life-threatening conditions have recently been categorized as acute aortic syndrome. This review describes the etiology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic options for acute aortic syndrome including acute aortic dissection and ruptured aortic aneurysm. Main bo...
