Obesity paradox has been described in various populations of coronary artery disease, mainly asymptomatic subjects. However, relationship between obesity and coronary artery calcification detected by cardiac CT in symptomatic patients has rarely been demonstrated. This study seeks to investigate
This study investigated the association between obesity type and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in postmenopausal women.Study data were obtained from a nation-wide registry, composed of 659 women older than 55 years with chest pain undergoing This study investigated the association between obesity type and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in postmenopausal women.Study data were obtained from a nation-wide registry, composed of 659 women older than 55 years with chest pain undergoing BACKGROUND Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 0.002%. CASE REPORT A 58-year-old African American female with a history of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension was evaluated for shortness of
BACKGROUND: Caribbean-born blacks (CBB) have been reported to have lower coronary artery disease mortality rates than US-born blacks (UBB). We assessed whether CBB have a lower prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors compared to UBB. METHODS: Non-Hispanic blacks (n = 275) hospitalized for chest
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare men and women with unexplained chest pain (UCP) to a randomly selected population sample free of clinical heart disease with regard to sleep problems, mental strain at work, stress at home, negative life events and health-related quality of life
BACKGROUND
Acute chest pain (CP) is a potentially related both to acute coronary syndrome and to other morbidities; this means that 2%-10% patients with cardiogenic CP are improperly discharged from the Emergency Room (ER). In order to identify risk to develop cardiovascular (CV) events in patients
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the dose reduction potential of low kV triple-rule-out dual-source CT angiography (TRO-CTA) in non-obese (BMI ≤ 25 kg/m(2)) patients with acute chest pain.
METHODS
Sixty consecutive patients were randomly assigned to two different retrospectively ECG-gated TRO-CTA protocols
OBJECTIVE
Improving risk stratification of patients experiencing acute chest pain with non-revealing electrocardiogram and cardiac biomarkers could reduce missed acute coronary syndrome and avoid unnecessary hospitalization.
METHODS
We assessed the ability of situational, circumstantial, and other
BACKGROUND
Depression is a modifiable coronary risk factor (CRF) that is 2 times more prevalent in women.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the prevalence and severity of depression in women admitted with chest pain to an emergency department (ED) observation unit (ED-CPC) and to determine acceptance of a
Coronary heart disease is a serious complication of dyslipidemia. Pitavastatin is a more commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of dyslipidemia. Here, we report the case of a 37-year-old female, a known patient with well-controlled bronchial asthma. She was recently found to be
OBJECTIVE
To describe changes in chest pain and dyspnoea during a period of 15 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to define factors at the time of operation that were associated with the occurrence of these symptoms after 15 years.
METHODS
Prospective observational study in
The most common cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world is Coronary artery disease. The traditional risk factors for Coronary artery disease are hypertension, diabetes mellitus, family history, smoking, dyslipidaemia and obesity. Chest pain and dyspnoea are the two common complaints of
