Introduction Myocardial free wall rupture due to myocardial infarction usually develops suddenly and leads to hemodynamic collapse. Mortality is very high even in patients undergoing emergent cardiac surgery. In very…
Objective The term “acute coronary syndrome” is widely used and some clinicians find it almost synonymous with coronary artery disease. This case presentation highlights the non-cardiac component of intricated acute…
Objectives Thiols constitute the intracellular oxidant defense mechanism. It is known that the thiol/disulphide homeostasis is related to atherosclerotic diseases. But, there no data in literature whether is there a…
Aims Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the most common cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. Oxidative stress and vasoconstriction might play key roles in its pathogenesis. In a few experimental…
Objectives The oxidative stress plays crucial role in the progression of atherosclerosis. It was known that increased oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant protection are more associated with acute coronary syndromes…
Objective Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is characterized by transient hypokinesis of the left ventricular apex, and is associated with emotional and physical stress. Wall motion abnormality is typically seen in left…
Intracoronary administration of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors has been reported in some case reports and in several small studies with some benefits in percutenous coronary interventions (PCI). In the event of…
Introduction Cocain is one of the most commonly used illicit drug which can cause myocardial ischemia or infarction. Cocaine use can cause acute coronary syndrome by inducing coronary vasoconstriction, thrombosis,…
Objective Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare entity, with an incidence of 0.2% among patients who undergo coronary angiography. Here, we describe a case of SCAD, which caused…
Aim Mortality of patients from STEMI or NSTEMI mainly depends on the burden of thrombotic process and myocardial injury and consequently the irreversible loss of myocardial function. Platelet indices could…
