Transplant Coronary Artery Disease (TCAD), also known as Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV), is a unique and aggressive form of coronary artery disease that occurs in the transplanted heart.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a unique and often underdiagnosed cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that disproportionately affects young to middle-aged women. Unlike traditional heart attacks
Prinzmetal angina (also known as variant angina) is a fascinating clinical phenomenon because it flips the “standard” model of heart disease on its head. While typical angina is
In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a significant challenge in interventional cardiology, characterized by the narrowing of a previously stented coronary artery segment. While Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) have drastically reduced
Mechanical complications after an acute myocardial infarction are life-threatening events that typically occur within the first week following the insult. While their incidence has decreased significantly in the
Stress cardiomyopathy, also commonly known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or “Broken Heart Syndrome,” is a temporary heart condition that often mimics a heart attack but is triggered by severe
Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) describes the complex, bidirectional pathological interaction between the heart and the kidneys. In this relationship, dysfunction in one organ frequently initiates or exacerbates dysfunction in
Percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat mitral regurgitation (MR)—a condition where the heart’s mitral valve doesn’t close tightly, causing blood to
P2Y12 receptor antagonists are a critical class of antiplatelet medications primarily used in the management of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) and during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). They work
Managing the cardiotoxic effects of Anthracyclines (e.g., Doxorubicin) and Trastuzumab is a cornerstone of modern cardio-oncology. While both can lead to heart failure, their mechanisms and “reversibility” profiles
