Emergency percutaneous coronary intervention in unprotected left
main coronary arteries. Predictors of mortality and impact of cardiogenic shock.
Chest pain had decreased, with the patient describing it as "chest discomfort." Coronary angiography revealed normal
main coronary arteries (Fig.
Main coronary arteries selected are RCA, LAD artery and circumflex artery.
The autopsy on Abu Ein's body showed that 'blockage of the
main coronary arteries that deliver oxygenated blood to the heart muscle were caused by hemorrhaging under the plaque layer.
coronary CT angiography of the
main coronary arteries demonstrated a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 96% with a positive predictive value of 89% and a negative predictive value of 99%18.
"It wasn't a heart attack as such, which people broadly classify as a clot in one of the
main coronary arteries and the main muscle doesn't get any oxygen.
"As his condition was deteriorating, he was shifted to Al Qasimi Hospital where he was investigated by the cardiologists and was found to have complete blockage in two of his
main coronary arteries supplying blood to his heart muscle, causing the heart attack," he said.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare quantitative variables between
main coronary arteries.
The CT scan image showed that the princess, who died in her 40s, had atherosclerosis in two of her three
main coronary arteries.
Allam and colleagues found the Egyptian princess Ahmose-Meryet-Amon, who lived in Thebes (now Luxor) between 1540 and 1550 B.C., had calcium deposits in two
main coronary arteries, making her the oldest mummy found with heart disease.
These fatty deposits build up gradually and irregularly in the large branches of the two
main coronary arteries which encircle the heart and are the main source of its blood supply.
As discussed in the study, this event is more prominent in the presence of a single coronary ostium giving two
main coronary arteries (5).
