Angina pectoris is a common complaint in any emergency service, but it rarely is of extracardiac origin. A rare case of gastric volvulus which presented a recurrent angina pectoris in a 47-year-old man is reported. Repeated episodes of angina pectoris in a patient with a negative cardiac investigation should alert the physician to the possibility of extracardiac pathology.

January 2025
National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Microvascular angina (MVA) is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Despite improvements in its recognition and diagnosis, uncertainty remains around the most effective treatment strategy, and more data are needed.
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the quality of patient selection in treatment studies of MVA and provide a contemporary overview of the evidence base for the treatment of MVA.

Hypertension affects 32% of adults worldwide, leading to a significant global consumption of cardiovascular medications. Atenolol, a β-adrenergic receptor blocker, is widely prescribed for cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction. According to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS), atenolol belongs to Class III, characterized by high solubility but low permeability.

: A Warthin tumor is a benign salivary gland neoplasm, mostly found in the parotid gland. The number of reported Warthin tumors has increased over the years due to better diagnostic modalities and health system modernization. Warthin tumor rarely transforms into a malignant tumor; in this work, we present all cases reported in the English literature of different types of lymphomas within Warthin tumors.

Background: The left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has been widely accepted as the standard for revascularizing the left anterior descending artery during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. However, in 10-20% of cases, the LITA may lead to unsecured side branches to the chest wall, particularly the lateral costal artery (LCA), potentially resulting in postoperative chest angina.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 58-year-old patient who experienced persistent angina eight months after having undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to the steal phenomenon caused by a thick lateral costal artery (LCA).
Runcaciguat activates soluble guanylyl cyclase via the histidine essential for heme binding and nitric oxide activation.
Biochem Pharmacol
January 2025
Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Clinical Pharmacy, University of Braunschweig - Institute of Technology, Germany. Electronic address:
Soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) is a well-established pharmacological target for the treatment of acute angina pectoris, pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. Histidine 105 in the heme binding pocket of sGC is a crucial residue for heme binding and natural enzyme activation by NO. It was assumed that the heme-free sGC mutants α/βH105F and α/βH105A were valuable research tools for studying NO independent sGC activators.
