conclusions the young woman with turner syndrome have several risk factors for early coronary artery disease development. in such cases, dramatic results like sudden death or heart attack at an early age may occur in cases of insufficient follow-up and treatment. case presentation the patient, a 27-year-old female was admitted to the emergency room with chest pain at rest. she was diagnosed wit...

conclusions coronary artery aneurysm should be a differential diagnosis in cases of mediastinal cyst and mass lesion. case presentation a 32-year-old woman presented with edema of the upper and lower limbs, palpitation, and chest pain, and was diagnosed with a giant right coronary artery aneurysm that had initially mimicked a mediastinal cyst. although computed tomography (ct) suggested a media...

Recent years have witnessed a change in our perception of congenital coronary artery anomalies. From being regarded as simple coronary angiographic observations of little clinical significance, they have come to be seen as potential causes of sudden death in young people and of myocardial ischemia in adults. Diagnostic difficulties, a lack of knowledge about the mechanisms through which they pr...

perlipidaemic with a positive family history for coronary artery disease (father) and diabetes mellitus (mother) was investigated for chest pain. The clinical examination gave no clear pathological findings. The ECG was normal. Blood biochemistry confirmed the reported hyperlipidaemia. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed a small dilatation of the right cardiac cavities. There was no atrial ...

Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare, with an incidence of about 0.06-1.3 percent of all patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation. They are commonly asymptomatic, but potentially serious lesions may lead to myocardial ischaemia, infarction and/or sudden cardiac death. The occurrence of a concomitant stenotic lesion is exceedingly rare. We report an 80-year-old man who presented with...

Congenital anomalies and within them anatomical variations of coronary arteries, although uncommon, are being increasingly studied diagnosed due to the close relationship symptoms such as angina, dyspnea, syncope or arrhythmias in young people without comorbidities. This study aimed present case report a patient with ischemic secondary malformation artery. We describe moment admission, diagnosi...

OBJECTIVE To assess prevalence and type of non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in young people (< or = 35 years) who died suddenly. DESIGN A necropsy study of 150 consecutive cases of sudden death (that is, within 6 h of the onset of symptoms). RESULTS Death was attributed to coronary artery disease in 48 cases: in 16 (33%) of them the disease was non-atherosclerotic. Twelve subject...

Abstract An 44–year–old woman was referred to our hospital for chest pain. She had no known cardiovascular risk factors but a history of previous acute pericarditis following pregnancy. At admission, she still pain improved by leaning forward. Cardiovascular examination and her electrocardiogram showed nothing pathological. On laboratory tests, there were mild elevation troponin T normal C–reac...

BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis has different etiologies from biliary stone to metabolic disturbances. Coronary angiography is one of the newly understood etiologies. CASE REPORT This paper is about a women suffering from acute pancreatitis after coronary angiography. CONCLUSION Embolization of cholesterol crystals due to vessel wall trauma during coronary angiography as well as contrast medi...

UNLABELLED Some anomalies of the conus artery are relatively common, such as those arising from the discrete ostium of the right coronary artery. We report a 63 y/o male with an unusual anatomic variation of the conus artery terminating in the pericardium. Coronary anomalies may cause coronary ischemia, infarction and sudden cardiac death; hence, it is significant to identify coronary anomalies...
