Association of metabolic syndrome and level of hs-CRP, Lp(a), and serum ferritin in young Asian patients (≤45 years) with acute myocardial infarction.

Aims: This study was aimed to determine the levels of hs-CRP, serum ferritin, and Lp(a) and to study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in young patients (≤45 years) with and without acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, case-control study conducted at a tertiary care center in India. Equal number of patients with matched age and sex ( = 51) were included in case group (with AMI) and in control group (without AMI).

A case of early development of giant coronary artery aneurysms after drug-eluting stents implantation: An unpredictable menace.

Development of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) after implantation of drug-eluting stent is occasionally observed. We present a case of a 67-year-old man who underwent everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation in right coronary artery (RCA) for inferior wall myocardial infarction, and thereafter, giant CAAs were developed in the vessel of stent deployment, within 2 months. However, the patient was managed with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

A case of aneurysm of left anterior descending artery rupturing into right ventricular outflow tract presenting as acute anterior MI secondary to Behcet's syndrome.

A case of Aneurysm of Left Anterior Descending that has ruptured into Right Ventricular Outflow Tract and presenting as acute anterior MI was successfully treated with aneurysmal resection and coronary artery bypass surgery. Possible aetiology is discussed.
