Case report: A rare manifestation of vasospasm induced myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation in a young male patient.

Background: Minority of acute myocardial infarctions (MI) are caused by a non-atherosclerotic occlusion of the coronary artery. We present a case report, where MI with ST-segment elevation was provoked by a vasospasm, which is a rare aetiological finding.

Case Presentation: 27-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department because of a sudden onset chest pain radiating to the left arm.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with anomalous coronary artery.

Objectives: The aim of this review was to analyze literature and provide systematic algorithm to guide decision making during TAVI procedure.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is growing in popularity and expanding to younger patients with lower risk profiles. Currently, there is no concise guideline on the management strategy during TAVI in patients with anomalous coronary artery (ACA) anatomy undergoing this procedure.

Increase of Myocardial Ischemia Time and Short-Term Prognosis of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction during the First COVID-19 Pandemic Wave.

: early reports showed a decrease in admission rates and an increase in mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown had an impact on the ischemia time and prognosis of patients suffering from AMI in the settings of low COVID-19 burden. we conducted a retrospective data analysis from a tertiary center in Lithuania of 818 patients with AMI.
