Major Cardiac-Psychiatric Drug-Drug Interactions: a Systematic Review of the Consistency of Drug Databases.

Purpose: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders (AD) are both highly prevalent among individuals with arrhythmia, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. There should be increased support for MDD and AD diagnosis and treatment in individuals with cardiac diseases, because treatment rates have been low. However, cardiac-psychiatric drug interaction can make pharmacologic treatment challenging.

Longitudinal stent compression is not always a bad event: a case report.

Ostial left anterior descending artery stent implantation was performed, while trying to cross another stent through the left main coronary artery into the left circumflex artery the stent was detached from the delivery balloon, subsequently jamming the stent of the ostial left anterior descending artery stent. Removing the detached stent was possible, but longitudinal compression of the ostial left anterior descending artery stent occurred. We finally took advantage of the longitudinal compression to advance the equipment into the left circumflex artery with good final result.

Anterograde flow compromise of a patent left internal mammary artery graft from a proximal subclavian artery stenosis. Myocardial ischemia not driven by the coronary-subclavian steal syndrome mechanism.

A 54-year male with previous triple vessel coronary artery and aorto-bi-femoral bypass graft surgeries complained of crescent angina. Stress induced myocardial ischemia on echocardiography was demonstrated. We performed direct stenting of a saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery, via right radial approach.

[Endothelial function assessment by positron emission tomography in patients with hypercholesterolemia].

Unlabelled: Hypercholesterolemia prompts to endothelial dysfunction (ED) and ED predisposes to atherogenesis. ED appears early in the course of atherogenesis and it is considered a coronary artery disease (CAD) marker.

Objectives: To assess endothelial function (EF) using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in asymptomatic patients with recent dyslipidemia diagnosis and without history of ischemic heart disease and previous hypolipemiant treatment.

Clinical variables related with in-stent restenosis late regression after bare metal coronary stenting.

Unlabelled: In-stent restenosis (ISR) has an incidence between 20% and 30% using bare metal stents. ISR late regression phenomenon (ISRLR) has been previously described, but clinical variables related with this phenomenon remain unclear. The aim of the study was to identify the variables related with ISRLR.

[Side branch occlusion during direct stent implantation. Incidence and related factors].

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the compromise of side branches when jailed by a coronary stent implanted without balloon predilation.

Patients And Methods: 56 patients in which at least a coronary stent was implanted without balloon predilation and covering a side brach (58 stents, 1.04 +/- 0.
