Acute myocardial infarction with simultaneous involvement of right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery: A case report
We report a case of 56-year-old man presenting with persistent chest pain and ST-segment elevation in precordial and inferior leads in electrocardiography (ECG). Emergent coronary angiogram showed total occlusion of both right coronary artery (RCA) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD). We performed successful thrombus aspiration and stenting of LAD and RCA both. (Source: Journal of Indian College of Cardiology)

Total left main coronary artery occlusion with normal ECG and normal LV function: A rare case
Publication date: Available online 27 April 2016 Source:Journal of Indian College of Cardiology Author(s): Gaurav Singhal, Vijay Pathak, Sunil Mittal Complete occlusion of left main coronary artery is very rarely seen in general routine day-to-day practice. It is almost incompatible with life. Review by D E Ward showed that 6 patients (0.04%) out of 11,900 patients undergoing angiography had complete left main occlusion. 1 Hence, we present the rare case of total occlusion of left main coronary artery in normal healthy person with normal electrocardiogram with normal left ventricular function.

Effect of coronary artery bypass grafting on function of right ventricle in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction
Conclusion RV dysfunction is present in high percentage of patients with severe LV dysfunction. Preserved function of IVS preoperatively is maintained postoperatively and it predicted better postoperative free wall and comprehensive RV function. Proximal block in right coronary artery is associated with free wall RV dysfunction. (Source: Journal of Indian College of Cardiology)

Copresence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients
Conclusions In North Western India, the prevalence of AAA is lesser, both in CAD group and in controls, as compared to western countries. Prevalence of AAA increases with increasing severity of CAD; hence AAA should be screened, particularly in TVD patients. CAD patients may be considered for earlier screening for AAA than the general population. (Source: Journal of Indian College of Cardiology)

If triglycerides matter, why do they matter?
Publication date: Available online 21 March 2016 Source:Journal of Indian College of Cardiology Author(s): Allan D. Sniderman While there is no dispute that hypercholesterolemia increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, controversy as the importance of hypertriglyceridemia persists. Much of this relates to the fact that hypertriglyceridemia is not a single disorder but rather is a collection of disorders in which elevation of plasma triglycerides is due to the accumulation of different triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, some of which, such as remnant lipoprotein particles are ferociously atherogenic whereas others, ...
