Newest firstWe describe a 35-year-old Caribbean-Black male patient with a significant cannabis history who presented with an inferior ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome (STE-ACS), with advanced heart block during active, ongoing cannabis consumption. During primary percutaneous coronary intervention, cineangiography revealed substantial thrombus burden in the first acute marginal branch of the right coronary artery.…
Open article record in new tab ↗IntroductionPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a widely adopted strategy for managing coronary artery disease (CAD), leading to improved survival rates, particularly in developing countries. However, the increased survival of these patients imposes a substantial burden on long-term management, especially at the primary healthcare level. Recently, the hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio (HRR) h…
Chronic marijuana use has been increasingly linked to cardiovascular events, though reports of acute myocardial infarction in young adults without traditional risk factors remain limited. A 24-year-old man with a 9-year history of daily marijuana use presented with acute chest pain. Emergency evaluation revealed anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with 100% proximal left anterior descending coronar…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective This study was aimed to compare different stenting techniques for coronary bifurcation disease (CBD). Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial for CBD; over the years, several stent techniques for bifurcation lesions have been used. Current guidelines recommend a provisional single-stent strategy as the preferred method for coronary artery bifurcation lesions. However, se…
Background The recreational drugs cannabis and nitrous oxide (N2O) are known for pro-atherogenic effects and are associated with an elevated risk of myocardial infarction. These cardiovascular effects might be underestimated by the public. Culprit-lesion composition of myocardial infarctions associated with cannabis and N2O has been unknown so far. This case report aims to raise the awareness of the adverse cardio…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Anatomically myocardial bridging (MB) consists of either superficial myocardial fibers that traverse over the LAD or deep fibers that encircle the coronary artery. In this study, we present a patient with myocardial bridging, who was primarily diagnosed with coronary artery disease which did not properly respond to full-dose medical treatment but benefited from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Case…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective To systematically review the effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) on the cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBD), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were electronically searched to collect randomiz…
Background Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) experience major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although the relationship between time to treatment (eg, door-to-balloon time, symptom onset-to-balloon time, and symptom onset-to-door time) and 1-month all-cause mortality was assessed previously, its relationship with in-hospital…
