Abstract:
A 13-year-old boy who suffered from Kawasaki disease at the age of 2 months underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational ablation for coronary stenosis. After this procedure, coronary spasm occurred and he experienced acute myocardial infarction within 10 days. Total occlusion of the LAD was demonstrated by coronary angiography. Coronary spasm after such a procedure is one of the most dangerous complications causing acute myocardial infarction.

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...
01:21Cardiac Catheterization II: Right Heart Catheterization
Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...
