Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has long been recognized as a cause of acute syndromes (ACS). Initially considered very rare and associated primarily with pregnancy the peripartum period, use higher sensitivity Troponin assays early angiography in ACS, coupled greater awareness condition, led to increased diagnosis, it is now understood that SCAD represents significant ACS predominantly young middle-aged women, most cases occurring outside context recent pregnancy.1,2 Although...
The Coronary Vasomotion Disorders International Study Group (COVADIS) was established to develop international standards for the diagnostic criteria of coronary vasomotor disorders. first symposium held on 4-5 September 2013 addressed vasospastic angina, which included following (i) nitrate-responsive (ii) transient ischaemic electrocardiogram changes, and (iii) documented artery spasm. Adoption these will improve clinical diagnosis this condition facilitate research in field.
Background— Coronary spasm can cause myocardial ischemia and angina in patients with those without obstructive coronary artery disease. However, provocation tests using intracoronary acetylcholine administration are rarely performed clinical routine the United States Europe. Thus, we assessed usefulness, angiographic characteristics, safety of testing white unobstructed arteries. Methods Results— From September 2007 to June 2010, a total 921 consecutive (362 men, mean age 62±12years) who...
Abstract Aims To provide multi-national, multi-ethnic data on the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with microvascular angina (MVA). Methods results The Coronary Vasomotor Disorders International Study Group proposed diagnostic criteria for MVA. We prospectively evaluated according to these their prognosis. primary endpoint was composite major cardiovascular events (MACE), verified by institutional investigators, which included death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke,...
An increasing number of studies clearly demonstrate that coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) plays a pivotal role in several cardiovascular diseases.1 In particular, emerging evidence suggests CMD is the main contributor to myocardial ischaemia large subset patients with chronic stable angina. Indeed, non-obstructive atherosclerosis observed up 50% angina and positive stress test results undergoing diagnostic angiography.2 Thus, prevalence (MVA) higher than previously thought associated...
The diagnosis of myocarditis is challenging due to its varying clinical presentation. Since can be associated with significant 5-year mortality, and postmortem data show in almost 10% all adults suffering sudden cardiac death, individual risk stratification for patients suspected great interest. We sought demonstrate that clinically a normal cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) according our definition have good prognosis, independent their symptoms other findings. Prospective long-term...
Background There is scarce data about the long-term mortality as well prognostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in patients with biopsy-proven viral myocarditis. We sought to investigate: (1) (2) LGEcardiovascular (location, pattern, extent, distribution) a >10-year follow-up Methods Results Two-hundred three consecutive myocarditis were enrolled; 183 eligible for standardized follow-up. The median was 10.1 years. End points all-cause death,...
