Spontaneous coronary dissection complicating unstable coronary plaque in young women with acute coronary syndrome: case reports.

Abstract:

:Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) causing acute myocardial infarction is a rare event. It occurs mostly in young women without traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease, particularly during the peripartum period. We describe two occurrences of SCAD in young women in whom coronary atherosclerosis was also present. In both cases, angiography showed extended coronary dissection on the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), starting from an atheromasic stenosis on the middle LAD segment. Coronary dissection could complicate an unstable atheromasic plaque, especially in young women presenting with acute coronary syndrome.

  • Thrombin induces protease-activated receptor 1 signaling and activation of human atrial fibroblasts and dabigatran prevents these effects.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Data with animal cells and models suggest that thrombin activates cardiac fibroblasts (Fib) to myofibroblasts (myoFib) via protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) cleavage, and in this way promotes adverse atrial remodeling and, thereby, atrial fibrillation (AF). OBJECTIVE:Here, we explored the effects of thro...
