Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last 2 decades, primarily driven by ...

The major thrust of current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for coronary artery disease has overwhelmingly focused on late-stage atherosclerosis—ie, obstructive coronary artery disease—and its ...

For decades, the clinical approach to coronary artery disease has been centred on the acute effects of coronary occlusion and its culmination in myocardial ischaemia—a focus that has shaped both ...

When this happens, it's called cardiac ischemia. Also called myocardial ischemia, ischemia of the heart is most often caused by plaques in the coronary arteries. These are the arteries that supply the ...

It begins at the left ventricle, extends upward through the chest to form an arch, and continues downward, eventually branching into the iliac arteries just above the pelvis. Divided into four ...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome or sudden cardiac death, primarily affecting relatively young women (median age, 51 years) ...
