Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is currently the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The prognosis ACS treatment outcome depends on speed reperfusion after a heart attack; wherein, one associated factors pre-hospital time.

This report describes a case of a seventy -year old woman with the special form of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) preceded by acute emotional stress. The coronarography revealed normal coronary arteries, however cardiac enzymes and catecholamines had increased values. Electrocardiogram indicated the changes characteristic of either acute coronary syndrome or myocarditis.

Aim: We investigated the relationship between hyperhomocysteinemia, coagulation factors and acute coronary syndrome. Materials and method: The study was conducted at cardiology and hematology department of Dicle University Medical School between January 1 2003 and May 31 2009. The study included 96 patients with acute coronary syndrome and 96 controls. Results: Baseline characteristics of patie...

Coronary subclavian steal syndrome refers to decreased or reversed internal mammary artery flow, which causes angina related to severe subclavian steno-occlusive disease in patients with in situ internal mammary-to-coronary artery graft. We present a 48-year-old man with cerebrovascular and peripheral artery disease and the first case in the literature of a saphenous vein graft-coronary-subclav...

The diagnosis of pericarditis is important, especially in patients assumed to have acute coronary syndrome. Distinguishing these two conditions is vital but not always easy. Accurate diagnosis is essential to provide appropriate treatment as soon as possible and to avoid inappropriate invasive procedures. By highlighting this distinction, we report a case of pericarditis that occurred after per...

OBJECTIVES Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Research has focused on identifying specific serum biomarkers to detect vulnerable plaques. These markers serve as diagnostic tools for acute coronary syndrome and assist in identifying high-risk patients. However, the existing data are limited and conflicting. This study tested the hypothesis that CD137 levels identify patients with...

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) has been described as one of the possible complication of acute coronary syndrome. Although the majority of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cases are caused by plaque rupture, coronary embolism from infective vegetation has been reported as a rare etiology of acute myocardial infarction. Identifying of this rare complication is crucial in management of the patient. We...

B: KaplanMeier survival curves for serious events (death + acute coronary syndrome). MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events. Comments on the Long-term Prognosis of Patients With Non–ST-segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction and Coronary Arteries Wit...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a chronic progressive with social significance, result of obstructive or non- atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries. CAD one leading causes for deterioration quality life and cardiovascular mortality. has dynamic character its major clinical presentations are: acute coronary syndromes / STEMI, NSTEMI, UA/ syndromes. In this case report w...

BACKGROUND Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been recognized as an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases; however, the impact of SDB on long-term outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome has not been fully evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed overnight cardiorespiratory monitoring of 241 patients with acute coronary syndrome who were successfully treated with pr...
