Abstract

Strategies for the evaluation of the post infarction patient need revision in the light of recent findings from thrombolytic trials, and the availability of more effective methods for detecting myocardial viability. A strategy based on determining the risk of re-occlusion from vessel anatomy at coronary angiography and determining the area of myocardium at risk based on sequential analysis of ST segment elevation is discussed.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism in angina pectoris with normal coronary arteriograms.

We investigated the relation between angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism and syndrome X (angina with normal coronary arteriogram). The results of our study suggest that this polymorphism does not play a major role in the pathogenesis of microvascular angina.

[Intracoronary ultrasound: scientific aspects and clinical possibilities].

The recent development of miniaturized ultrasound devices incorporated at the tip of flexible angiographic catheters permits, for the first time in vivo, visualization of the full circumference of the vessel wall from a single tomographic view, similar to a histological study. Potential advantages of intracoronary ultrasound as compared to coronary angiography include characterization of the intramural anatomy of the vessel wall in normal and atherosclerotic segments as well as quantification of luminal dimensions and severity of stenoses using planimetry even in vessels with complex plaque morphology. Intracoronary ultrasound has therefore been called the new gold standard for vascular imaging. The method has been validated in vitro and in vivo and is highly reproducible. The complication rate of intracoronary ultrasound imaging is low. In addition to research applications, there are several emerging clinical applications for intracoronary ultrasound in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, for instance for angiographically indeterminate lesions, in the assessment of transplant vasculopathy or in planning and guiding of coronary interventional procedures.
