Background. Coronary artery disease remains the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the general population. Several studies in developed countries have reported a gender-related difference in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in terms of risk factors, clinical presentation, delays in management, therapeutic modalities, and in-hospital as well as one-year outcomes. Data from non-developed countries about women with STEMI remain rare. We therefore aimed through this study to investigate the baseline characteristics of STEMI in Tunisian women compared to men and to determine the impact of gender difference on STEMI complications, in-hospital mortality, and one-year follow-up outcomes. Methods. All …

Effect Of Presence Of Ramus Intermedius Artery On Location Of Culprit Lesions In Acute Left Circumflex Coronary Artery Occlusion, Ahmed El Zayat, Mohey Eldeeb, Marwa Gad, Ismail M. Ibrahim
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association
Background and aim: Coronary artery anatomy frequently affects location of atherosclerotic plaques and subsequent culprit lesions. We sought to clarify whether presence or absence of Ramus Intermedius coronary artery (RI) would affect location of culprit lesions in acute left circumflex (LCX) coronary artery occlusion. Methods: The study included 180 patients, 100 with a diagnosis of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 80 with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). All culprit lesions were located in the LCX coronary artery. RI group included 45 patients and the No RI group included 135 patients. Results: Culprit LCX lesions were similarly located at a …

Safety And Feasibility Of 48 H Discharge After Successful Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Nooraldaem Yousif, Tarique S. Chachar, Suddharsan Subbramaniyam, Vinayak Vadgaonkar, Husam A. Noor
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association
Background: The aim of the current study is to determine the safety of early discharge (ED) within 48 hours (h) for STelevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and to define the criteria of low-risk patients that can be considered for ED. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study that took place at Mohammed bin Khalifa Cardiac Centre in the Kingdom of Bahrain. 301 patients who underwent PPCI between January 2018 and March 2019 were included. Endpoints at 30 days follow-up comprised cardiac re-admission, cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and major adverse cardiovascular and …

Post Myocardial Infarction Papillary Muscle Rupture In The Context Of Coronavirus Disease-2019 Pandemic, Nooraldaem Yousif, Vinayak Vadgaonkar, Helen Saunders, Mohammad Amin, Habib Tareif, Fuad Abdulqader
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association
Papillary muscle rupture is a very rare but often catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction. In this case we are sharing our experience in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, which rendered the management extremely challenging.
