Article Synopsis
- Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) is being studied as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, particularly its effect on outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- A study of 262 AMI patients found that those with high Lp(a) levels (≥32 mg/dL) had a significantly higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) compared to those with low levels (19.6% vs. 32.8%).
- The study concluded that elevated Lp(a) levels may serve as an independent predictor of worse long-term outcomes post-AMI, indicating its potential value in risk assessment for heart diseases.
Unlabelled: Dextran has been frequently used during intracoronary imaging, such as in optical coherence tomography, optical frequent domain imaging, and coronary angioscopy. We report a case of dextran-induced anaphylaxis in a 70-year-old male with chronic coronary disease. Upon admission, we performed coronary angiography and coronary angioscopy on the patient.
