We present a case of a patient with inferior myocardial infarction (MI) and anomalous left main artery originating from the right coronary sinus. The left main artery and right coronary artery originated from the right coronary sinus but with separate ostia. The patient underwent revascularization of the right coronary artery with balloon angioplasty and a drug-eluting stent. Despite being rare, these anomalies can be life-threatening depending on the course of the artery, and when atherosclerotic disease is present, a revascularization strategy can be challenging...

PURPOSE: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital ano-maly of the origin of the coronary arteries. The prevalence of this anomaly in the adult patient population is low, and therefore there is virtually no original research on this topic. Reports are limited to case reports. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We evaluated 16,264 computed tomography (CT) exams (cardiac and chest) performed in our heart imaging department between 2015 and 2022 on a dual-source 128-slice CT scanner (SOMATOM Definition Flash, Siemens Healthineers, Forchheim, Germany) and established a retrospective registry of adult patients (> 18 years old) with ALCAPA...

INTRODUCTION: Maternal diabetes is a recognized risk factor for both short-term and long-term complications in offspring. Beyond the direct teratogenicity of maternal diabetes, the intrauterine environment can influence the offspring's cardiovascular health. Abnormalities in the cardiac sympathetic system are implicated in conditions such as sudden infant death syndrome, cardiac arrhythmic death, heart failure, and certain congenital heart defects in children from diabetic pregnancies...

The radial artery has been used increasingly for percutaneous coronary intervention because of its safety and feasible access route. Nevertheless, transradial complications are possible because of the variation in radial artery anatomy. We experienced a case of the brachioradial artery injury secondary to catheterization, presenting as hypovolemic shock. A 76-year-old woman presented at our emergency department complaining of effort-induced angina. Coronary angiography via the right radial artery showed critical stenosis in the middle of the left anterior descending coronary artery...

Coronary sinus (CS) anomalies, although infrequent, are increasingly diagnosed with advances in interventional procedures and imaging techniques. Most cases are asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed. We present a case of an elderly male without comorbidities who presented with acute angina. Coronary catheterisation revealed a double-vessel disease, but incidentally, sequential angiograms captured contrast filling in the levophase of CS, revealing a giant CS. Primary percutaneous angioplasty of the right coronary artery was performed successfully...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review describes the presentation, diagnosis, and management of congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) in adults. RECENT FINDINGS: CAFs are classified as coronary-cameral or coronary arteriovenous fistulas. Fistulous connections at the distal coronary bed are more likely to be aneurysmal with higher risk of thrombosis and myocardial infarction (MI). Medium-to-large or symptomatic CAFs can manifest as ischemia, heart failure, and arrhythmias...

INTRODUCTION: Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is an uncommon congenital abnormality that presents with intimal thickening of the aortic media at the sinotubular junction. Given the congenital nature of the disease, patients usually become symptomatic in childhood. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 48-year-old man developed symptomatic SVAS in middle age. A patch aortoplasty with a bovine pericardial patch was performed. His postoperative course was uneventful, and echocardiography revealed a significant decrease in peak velocity and pressure gradient...

BACKGROUND: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is associated with risk for sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). Preemptive electrophysiology study before transcatheter pulmonary valve placement is increasing, but the value of MDCT for anatomical VT isthmus assessment is unknown. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the evaluation of sustained monomorphic VT for repaired TOF. METHODS: Consecutive pre-transcatheter pulmonary valve MDCT studies were identified, and anatomical isthmus dimensions were measured...

UNLABELLED: A 56-year-old African American female was under evaluation for coronary artery disease by a cardiologist due to her complaints of intermittent chest pain. She underwent an outpatient echocardiogram and was found to have an ejection fraction of 20-25% with global left ventricular hypokinesis. Due to this finding along with her ongoing chest pain, she was referred to the emergency department for further evaluation. Her electrocardiogram showed changes suggestive of ischaemia and her cardiac troponins were mildly elevated, so she underwent an urgent cardiac catheterisation...

BACKGROUND: Notwithstanding the acknowledged interplay between atrial fibrillation (AF) and the emergence of digestive system neoplasms, the intricacies of this relationship remain ambiguous. By capitalizing univariable Mendelian Randomization (MR) complemented by a mediated MR tactic, our pursuit was to elucidate the causative roles of AF in precipitating digestive system malignancies and potential intermediary pathways. METHOD: This research endeavor seeks to scrutinize the causal clinical implications of whether genetic predispositions to AF correlate with an increased risk of digestive system malignancies, employing MR analytical techniques...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: In contrast to developed countries, cardiac CT is not widely used in West Africa for the assessment of congenital heart disease, and has only recently been introduced in Côte d'Ivoire. The lack of data prompted this study, the aim of which was to describe our experience of the contribution of CT to the management of congenital heart disease in the Ivorian cardiology setting. PATIENTS AND METHOD: This was a prospective study which took place in the pediatric cardiology department over a period of 9 months (September 2022 to June 2023) which included all patients with congenital heart disease explored by echocardiography and cardiac scan...

An asymptomatic 17-month-old, 18.5-kg, male Staffordshire Bull Terrier was referred due to a heart murmur. Examination revealed a grade 3/6 left apical systolic and right apical 3/6 heart murmur. Echocardiography showed volume overload of the left ventricle and mild systolic dysfunction with a left-right flow over the interventricular septal region. Cardiac gated computed tomography revealed anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, an extensive network of collateral blood vessels connected the right and left coronary arteries, with bronchial and left intercostal arteries also connected to the network of collateral blood vessels, markedly enlarged right and left coronary arteries and left coronary sinus...

BACKGROUND: The management of adult patients with anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery (ARCA) from the left aortic sinus poses important challenges. The presence of symptoms or documented ischaemia, the anatomical characteristics of the ostium, and the course of the coronary determine decision-making. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of all cases of surgical management of ARCA at a single centre. The primary endpoints were mortality and myocardial infarction at 30 days...

Coronary artery anomalies are seen in less than 1% of the general population and in 1.6% of cardiac catheterization cases. The anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is one of four groups of coronary artery origin anomalies. The incidence of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is 1 in 500,000 and was first described in 1882 by John Brook. This case report reports on a 67-year-old man with a diagnosis of asymptomatic anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery...

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a clinical condition characterized by temporary regional wall motion anomalies and dysfunction that extend beyond a single epicardial vascular distribution. Various pathophysiological mechanisms, including inflammation, microvascular dysfunction, direct catecholamine toxicity, metabolic changes, sympathetic overdrive-mediated multi-vessel epicardial spasms, and transitory ischemia may cause the observed reversible myocardial stunning. Despite the fact that TTS usually has an acute coronary syndrome-like pattern of presentation, the absence of culprit atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is often reported at coronary angiography...

Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential and widely available diagnostic tool for assessing individuals reporting cardiovascular symptoms, monitoring those with established cardiac conditions and for preparticipation screening of athletes. While its use is well-defined in hospital and clinic settings, echocardiography is increasingly being utilised in the community, including in the rapidly expanding sub-speciality of sports cardiology. There is, however, a knowledge and practical gap in the challenging area of the assessment of coronary artery anomalies, which is an important cause of sudden cardiac death, often in asymptomatic athletic individuals...

BACKGROUND: Brachycephalic dogs with pulmonary stenosis are known to have a higher incidence of concurrent coronary artery abnormalities than non-brachycephalic breeds, which increases risk when performing balloon valvuloplasty. The use of ECG-gated CT angiography has been reported for the evaluation of coronary arteries in normal dogs and dogs with pulmonary stenosis. The purpose of this study was to report findings of coronary artery origination and morphology of main branches using ECG-gated CT angiography in brachycephalic dogs with pulmonary stenosis...
