Introduction And Objectives: Cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRP) are a set of interventions to improve the prognosis of cardiovascular disease by influencing patients' physical, mental, and social conditions. However, there are no studies evaluating the optimal duration of these programs. We aimed to compare the results of a standard vs a brief intensive CRP in patients after ST-segment elevation and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome through the Más por Menos study (More Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs in Less Time).

Background: Direct injury to the right coronary artery as a result of reparative operation on the tricuspid valve is a rare, probably underdiagnosed, but serious complication, which often involves dramatic clinical consequences. So far, only five cases have been described in the literature.
Methods: We describe our single-center experience of this complication, and review and analyze relevant clinical and anatomic considerations related to this entity.
We present a 55 year old man that was admitted to our Institution because of anginal chest pain. Transthoracic echocardiogram was normal. Coronary angiography showed three vessels disease and an anomalous circumflex artery arising from right proximal coronary artery.

Background: It has been suggested that PA reduces the risk of FWR compared with thrombolysis. However, few studies have evaluated this issue, and there are no data demonstrating this hypothesis.
