Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an increasingly recognized heart disease that was initially regarded as a benign condition, but since has proven to cause irreversible myocardial damage, resembling that of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The etiology of TTS is still uncertain but may be associated with catecholamine elevations during times of emotional or physical stress. Catecholamines are also understood to have prothrombotic properties, which could lead to ACS. With these similarities, differentiating these two pathologies can be difficult, especially when TTS and ACS occur simultaneously.

AbstractA single coronary artery is an exceedingly rare anomaly. Hereby, we present an unusual case of a young patient with an acute coronary syndrome who was found to have a single coronary artery originating from a single ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva with dual left anterior descending (LAD) arteries arising from the right coronary artery with two different anatomical courses, and additionally one of those LADs running a malignant intra-arterial course.

Dual right coronary artery (RCA) is a very rare coronary anomaly. This anomaly is often undetected and may be totally asymptomatic to presenting as acute coronary syndrome. Here , we present a young diabetic male who presented with acute onset severe chest pain of 30 minutes duration which was managed as acute coronary syndrome ( NSTE-ACS). His urgent coronary angiogram revealed single ostial origin of right coronary artery (RCA) with total occlusion from proximal segment followed by double right coronary arteries with their respective distal branches.

Congenital Coronary Anomaly

Abstract Background Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease affecting about 0.002% of the population. Knowledge of ARCAPA is almost collected from case reports. The aim of this study was to provide a rare case to better understand this rare congenital coronary anomaly. Case presentation We report a rare case of an 18-year-old male who was initially referred because of heart murmur. Dilated and tortuous coronary arteries were detected by echocardiography and congenital coronary anomaly was suggested. Further coronary CT angiography confirmed the diagnosis of ARCAPA. Although dual coronary system provides favorable long-term outcome, bypass surgery was considered technically difficult due to the huge mismatch of caliber between the right coronary artery and graft vessels. Eventually, simple right coronary artery ligation was performed. The patient was followed up for about 5 years without evidence of atherosclerosis or myocardial ischemia. Conclusions ARCAPA presents as a rare congenital heart disease with variable clinical manifestations. Surgical treatment is highly recommended to re-establish dual coronary system and prevent further complications. To our best knowledge, only about 200 cases of ARCAPA has been reported.

This observation describes a rare case of development of acute myocardial infarction after orthotopic heart transplantation. The diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome was exposed on the basis of increased cardiac specific enzymes with nonspecific changes in the ECG and an erased clinical picture. When performing coronary angiography, acute thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery was revealed. The procedure for coronary angioplasty was complicated by the development of the «no-reflow» syndrome, which was subsequently successfully resolved. The final stage was the stenting of the infarct-conditioned artery with the implantation of two drug-eluting «Resolute Integrity» stents. Later the patient was discharged from the hospital in a satisfactory condition.
