the left ventricular aneurysm is one of the most significant complications of myocardial infarction and is defined as the expansion of the ventricular wall. the coronary artery aneurysm is characterized by an abnormal dilation of the localized portion of the coronary artery, and its main cause is atherosclerosis. we herein report an unusual case of coronary artery and left ventricular aneurysms...

Background Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular defect that occurs in approximately 1/300 000 live births or 0.5% of children with congenital heart disease. There are two types of ALCAPA syndrome: the infant type and the adult type. The most infants experience myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure, and approximately 9...

AIMS To identify risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease after heart transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS In consecutive heart transplanted patients, who underwent coronary angiography at the first year follow-up, the aetiology of heart failure in 113 was ischaemic heart disease or dilated cardiomyopathy. Development of clinically significant graft coronary artery disease ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), attacks, stroke, failure (HF), and peripheral artery disease, still represent the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17 [...]

Background: Worldwide, coronary heart disease is the most important cause of mortality and morbidity. Although numerous studies have documented the relationship between male pattern baldness and cardiovascular disease (CVD), few studies focused on this association in women. This study intended to evaluate the relationship between coronary artery disease and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in ...

coronary artery calcium scoring (cacs) is a reasonable test for patients with the possibility of atherosclerosis. it can also be used for reclassifying the coronary artery disease (cad) to the high-risk status by higher cacs and subsequently modifying the management of the patients.the purpose of this study was to investigate the association of cacs to the severity of coronary artery disease in...

conclusions to our knowledge, this is the first case of ctc that was identified incidentally in the retrocaval position and caused intermittent obstruction of vena cava. case presentation the present study reports on a 66-year-old female with coronary artery disease (cad) who was scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) at our hospital. during mediastinal exploration and pericardiot...

  Introduction: Aortic valve sclerosisis considered as a manifestation of coronary atherosclerosis. Recent studies demonstrated an association between aortic valve sclerosis and obstructive coronary artery disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluatethe correlation betweenaortic valve sclerosis andobstructive coronary artery disease and the extent of coronary artery disease in patients ho...
