Framingham risk score and extent of atherosclerosis in non-diabetic patients with suspected coronary artery disease
ConclusionFrom our results, we concluded that FRS is a good predictor of Total Plaque Score and volume, but it cannot be used as a tool for the assessment of plaque vulnerability as it lacks any correlation with the plaque composition and distribution.

Successful treatment of budd-chiari syndrome with percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty
ConclusionPTA is an effective treatment for BCS caused by short-length obstruction of the hepatic portion of the IVC or hepatic veins. However, considering the occurrence of restenosis, regular clinical and ultrasound assessments are necessary after angioplasty. (Source: Journal of Indian College of Cardiology)

Natural progression of non-surgically managed infective endocarditis
We present various echocardiograms which closely follow the progression the infective endocarditis in a patient with previous cardiac surgery and prosthetic material in situ.A 51 year old gentleman presented presented with complaints of fevers and gastrointestinal infective symptoms in the context of previously having undergone an aortic root replacement and metallic aortic valve implantation several years prior for a previous episode of aortic dissection whilst utilising illicit intravenous drug use.Echocardiography noted an aortic valve vegetation and blood cultures grew non typhoidal Salmonella Typhimurium. A surgi...

Revascularization of a post ICD implanted patient – Closing the stable after the horse has bolted
Publication date: March 2018Source: Journal of Indian College of Cardiology, Volume 8, Issue 1Author(s): Pankaj JariwalaAbstractPatients with significant coronary artery disease with severe left ventricular dysfunction are at risk of sudden cardiac death secondary to ventricular arrhythmias. Whether complete revascularization or implantation of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) first is always clinical dilemma. The revascularization strategy in the presence of multivessel disease is not always without risk and not cost effective. We have discussed one such clinical scenario where patient underwent ICD implantati...

Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold technology, the rise and fall in clinical practice
Publication date: Available online 1 May 2018Source: Journal of Indian College of CardiologyAuthor(s): Wael Elabbassi, Hatala RobertAbstractIn 1977, interventional treatment of coronary artery disease was heralded by Andreas Gruntzig who started balloon angioplasty. Then in 1996 Schömig et al.3 introduced dual anti-platelet therapy instead of anticoagulant therapy. In 2001 Surrey et al.4 published first report on 45 patients who had negligible neo-intinal hyperplasia, one year after implanting Sirolimus eluting Bx VELOCITY stents. In 2006, Ormiston J et al. reported on the first in man implantation at mid LAD position.13 ...

Kounis syndrome manifesting as left main coronary aneurysm with late coronary stent thrombosis
Publication date: Available online 1 May 2018Source: Journal of Indian College of CardiologyAuthor(s): Vishwanath Hesarur, Sameer Ambar, Suresh Patted, Sanjay Porwal, Prasad M R, Anand Kumar MAbstractKounis syndrome (KS) is defined as the occurrence of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) concomitantly with hypersensitivity reactions triggered by an allergenic event. Patients with Drug Eluting Stents (DES) implantation are prone to hypersensitivity reactions from five potential antigens namely metal stent, polymer coating, eluted drug and antiplatelets (aspirin, clopidogrel). Coronary aneurysms are seen in 1.25–3.9% of patie...

Prevalence and short-term prognosis of heart failure: An in hospital prevalence study
ConclusionHeart failure occurs at a younger age in Indians compared to the western countries. The most common etiology is DCM followed by VHD. Since this is a retrospective analysis and has its own limitations, community based heart failure study taking a clue from the present study can be done to achieve invaluable data.

Correlation of plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D level with angiographic severity in coronary artery disease
ConclusionsVitamin D deficiency is a relatively common disorder. Risk of cardiovascular disease in people with vitamin D deficiency is almost 1.7 times of those with normal levels of vitamin D. To confirm the casual relationship between vitamin D and cardiovascular disease, larger studies are suggested. (Source: Journal of Indian College of Cardiology)
