Coronary-cameral fistula (CCF) is a rare connection between a coronary artery and a chamber of the heart. It most often derives from the right coronary artery and drains into the right ventricle. CCF originating from all 3 major coronary vessels and draining into the left heart is an extremely rare coronary artery malformation. A 47-yearold-man who was admitted to the clinic with angina pectoris and positive cardiac markers suddenly developed ventricular fibrillation (VF) while being prepared for coronary catheterization. He was successfully defibrillated and sinus rhythm was restored. The coronary angiography revealed normal epicardial coronary arteries with multiple diffuse fistulas originating from both the right and left coronary artery systems, terminating in the left ventricle. This is a very rare case of multiple CCFs originating from the epicardial coronary arteries and associated with myocardial ischemia and VF.

Background: Implementation of semaglutide weight loss therapy has been challenging due to drug supply and cost, underscoring a need to identify those who derive the greatest absolute benefit.
Objectives: Allocation of semaglutide was modeled according to coronary artery calcium (CAC) among individuals without diabetes or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: In this analysis, 3,129 participants in the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) without diabetes or clinical CVD met body mass index criteria for semaglutide and underwent CAC scoring on noncontrast cardiac computed tomography.

Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The growing interest in natural language processing chatbots (NLPCs) has driven their inevitable widespread adoption in healthcare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of responses provided by NLPCs, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Bing, to frequently asked questions about CAD.
