We present a case of a 58-year-old man presenting with chest pain irradiating to the back and left arm, history of smoking and untreated hypertension. The anamnesis, symptoms and ECG findings consisting of ST elevation in leads aVR and V1-V2 suggested ST segment elevated myocardial infarction. Performed ECHO examination revealed possible acute aortic dissection. Considering haemodynamic instability, augmentation of chest pain and passing time which was obviously worsening the prognosis patient was submitted to aortography which finally proofed acute aortic dissection. Patient was subsequently transferred to cardiac surgery unit and successfully treated.

Aims: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a heterogeneous condition defined by reduced coronary flow reserve (CFR). The new index 'microvascular resistance reserve' (MRR) has been developed, but its role is unclear. We investigate the relationships between functional indices in ANOCA (angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries) patients and evaluate the hemodynamic features of different CMD subtypes.

We present a case of an 80-year-old female who presented with chest pain, vomiting and night sweats a few weeks post thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR). A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a type 1B endoleak for which she underwent a repeat TEVAR. Postoperatively, she developed fever, dysphagia, haematemesis and melaena.

However, no studies have determined the populations in which sleep problems occur and whether they are improved by peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). We investigated the rate of sleep problems assessed by GERD-Q (AGQ) in achalasia patients, evaluated whether POEM improves these issues, and identified factors associated with sleep improvement after POEM.
