Methods to investigate coronary microvascular function in clinical practice.
2012
A growing amount of data is increasingly showing the relevance of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD) in several clinical contexts. This article reviews techniques and clinical investigations of the main noninvasive and invasive methods proposed to study coronary microcirculation and to identify CMVD in the presence of normal coronary arteries, also trying to provide indications for their application in clinical practice.
Anomalous origin of all three coronary arteries from right sinus of Valsalva
2016
AbstractCongenital anomalies of the coronary arteries, although uncommon, have the potential to cause serious myocardial damage, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and sudden cardiac death. We report a rare case of origin of all three coronaries from the right sinus of Valsalva.

Electrocardiographic, angiographic and clinical picture of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation caused by simultaneous occlusion of …
2018
Acute myocardial infraction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) is most often caused by the occlusion of only one large epicardial artery. Simultaneous thrombosis of two or more coronary arteries is a rare cause of STEMI. In this article, the authors present a case of a 56-year-old man with STEMI who was diagnosed with simultaneous occlusion of the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery
Intravenous Contrast Material for Cardiac Computed Tomography
2023
Purpose: The Italian Registry of Contrast Material use in Cardiac Computed Tomography (iRCM-CCT) is a multicenter, multivendor, observational study on the use of contrast media (CM) in patients undergoing cardiac computed tomography (CCT). The aim of iRCM-CCT is to assess image quality and safety profile of intravenous CM compounds. Materials and methods: iRCM-CCT enrolled 1842 consecutive patients undergoing CCT (≥50 per site) at 20 cluster sites with the indication of suspected coronary artery disease. Demographic characteristics, CCT, and CM protocols, clinical indications, safety markers, radiation dose reports, qualitative (ie, poor vascular enhancement) and quantitative (ie, HU attenu…
