Acute coronary syndromes though commonly seen to result from the obstructive coronary artery disease processes particularly among elderly patients with traditional risk factors, it could also present as MINOCA-myocardial Infarction in Non-obstructive coronary artery disease particular in the younger patients where a high index of suspicion is required to determine particular mechanism could have offset it given their etiological heterogenicity....

Is Left Ventricle Global Longitudinal Strain by Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography Useful at Detection of Subclinical Myocardial Dysfunction in Patients after Coronavirus-2019 Infection?

José Victor da Nóbrega Borges, Kiran Sooraj Thirukonda Jegadeesh Babu, Karma Jashvantbhai Patel, Kavya Hitesh kumar Shah, Mahitha Reddy, Abdul Majid Shaik, Muhammad Ahmed Shaikh and Sahithi Burra

Article Type: Case Series and Systematic Review | First Published: 2024/08/31

The disease caused by Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) was initially described in December 2019. Severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for an important multisystem inflammatory spectrum. Cardiovascular conditions have been reported with an estimated frequency of 8-28%. In this context, transthoracic echocardiography associated with the analysis of the two-dimensional Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) of the left ventricle derived from Speckle Tracking emerges as a promis...

Left Ventricular Function and Myocardial Longitudinal Strain Analysis in Patients with Chagas Disease: Case Series and Systematic Literature Review

José Victor da Nóbrega Borges, Kiran Sooraj Thirukonda Jegadeesh Babu, Karma Jashvantbhai Patel, Kavya Hitesh kumar Shah, Mahitha Reddy, Abdul Majid Shaik, Muhammad Ahmed Shaikh and Sahithi Burra

Article Type: Case Series and Systematic Review | First Published: 2024/08/29

Left ventricular dysfunction in an independent predictor of mortality in Chagas disease. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an emerging echocardiographic modality with possible incremental value in early detection of cardiac involvement. Compare left ventricular function with multiple echocardiographic parameters between patients with the indeterminate and chronic forms of Chagas and perform a literature review....

A Randomized Control Study of Moderate Procedural Sedation and Opioid Analgesia during Trans-Radial Coronary Interventions to Prevent Spasm

N. Arvind Yuvaraj, Ganesh Narayan, M. Chokkalingam and S. Saradha

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: 2024/04/25

A Prospective randomized controlled study conducted in the department of Cardiology in a tertiary care hospital in South India. The study included patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with trans-radial access. Patients were randomized to either administration of sedation and analgesia (Treatment group) or no procedural sedative/analgesic (Control group). In the treatment group, Inj. Fentanyl 0.5 mcg/kg and Inj. Midazolam 1 mg slow intra...

Successful Use of Radial Artery Graft in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Case Report

Nabeel Al-Madwahi, MD, PhD, Abeer Shaia'a Naji Sa'adan, MD, Ali Fadhel, MD, PhD, Nbil Al-Gaadabi, MD and Alezz Aljunaid, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/04/18

Angiography revealed significant lesions in the left main, left anterior descending, and left circumflex arteries, while the right coronary artery showed diffuse atherosclerosis but no significant stenosis. Echocardiography confirmed acute ischemic changes. Due to the extensive CAD and high-risk profile, percutaneous coronary intervention was deemed unsuitable, and CABG was performed using a radial artery graft....
