The authors present the case of a healthy 40-year-old man who developed a myocardial infarction because of traumatic dissection of the left circumflex coronary artery following a fall from height. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a traumatic lesion of the left circumflex artery is being reported after a fall.

Cardiac strangulation with chronic ab-extrinseco occlusion of the left-circumflex artery from an epicardial lead: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Radiological and Hematological Sciences, Section of Radiology, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Largo Agostino Gemelli 8 - 00168 Rome, Italy.
Background: Cardiac strangulation (CS) from epicardial pacing leads (EPLs) is a rare and potentially lethal mechanical complication associated with epicardial pacemaker (PM) implantation.
Case Summary: We report a case of a 44-year-old-female patient presenting with chest and left shoulder pain in the absence of reported trauma with history of congenital atrioventricular block treated with epicardial PM implantation during the childhood and subsequent transvenous reimplantation over the years. Troponin I resulted within normal values and ECG, transthoracic echocardiography and chest X-ray documented no acute cardiopulmonary findings.
Perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) on computed tomography coronary angiography reclassifies individual cardiovascular risk estimation.
Int J Cardiol Cardiovasc Risk Prev
March 2025
Department of Cardiology, Isala Hospital, Zwolle, the Netherlands.
Background: The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) detects and quantifies coronary inflammation by measuring phenotypic changes in perivascular adipose tissue by using computed tomography coronary angiography images.
Aim: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the reclassification of cardiovascular (CV) risk after incorporating perivascular FAI assessment in currently used risk score algorithms.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study of 200 patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent computed tomography coronary angiography in clinical practice between January 2022 and May 2022.
Angiographic Characterization and Sex-Related Anatomical Differences of Atrial Coronary Arteries Anatomy-A Proposal of Systematic Classification.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands.
Background: The coronary atrial circulation is the network of vessels that supply blood to the atria, originating from the left circumflex and right coronary arteries. Current descriptions of this arterial system are based on anatomical studies with a limited number of patients, predominantly male. In addition, there is a lack of consensus its angiographic nomenclature.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, California, USA.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with thoracic radiotherapy, but the specific risk with irradiating different cardiac substructures remains unknown.
Objectives: This study sought to examine the relationship between irradiation of cardiac substructures and the risk of clinically significant (grade ≥3) AF.
Methods: We analyzed data from patients who underwent definitive radiotherapy for localized cancers (non-small cell lung, breast, Hodgkin lymphoma, or esophageal) at our institution between 2004 and 2022.
End-to-end deep-learning model for the detection of coronary artery stenosis on coronary CT images.
Open Heart
January 2025
Department of Molecular and Clinical Medicine, University of Gothenburg Institute of Medicine, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Purpose: We examined whether end-to-end deep-learning models could detect moderate (≥50%) or severe (≥70%) stenosis in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA) or left circumflex artery (LCX) in iodine contrast-enhanced ECG-gated coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans.
Methods: From a database of 6293 CCTA scans, we used pre-existing curved multiplanar reformations (CMR) images of the LAD, RCA and LCX arteries to create end-to-end deep-learning models for the detection of moderate or severe stenoses. We preprocessed the images by exploiting domain knowledge and employed a transfer learning approach using EfficientNet, ResNet, DenseNet and Inception-ResNet, with a class-weighted strategy optimised through cross-validation.
