Right coronary artery intervention is usually accomplished with a Judkins right (JR) coronary guide catheter. Abnormal right coronary artery take-off from the right coronary sinus poses difficulty in engaging the right coronary artery with a conventional JR guide catheter. We report a rare case of primary percutaneous intervention of the right coronary artery which was performed with a multipurpose catheter as the patient had an extremely low-lying coronary artery from the coronary sinus where conventional catheters could not engage the right coronary artery in an octogenarian with acute inferior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction in cardiogenic shock.

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.
