  2. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_coronary...

    Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition in which one of the coronary arteries that supply the heart, spontaneously develops a blood collection, or hematoma, within the artery wall due to a tear in the wall.

  3. Arterial dissections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_dissections

    Arterial dissections become life-threatening when growth of the false lumen prevents perfusion of the true lumen and the related end organs. For example, in an aortic dissection, if the left subclavian artery orifice were distal to the origin of the dissection, then the left subclavian would be said to be perfused by the false lumen, while the left common carotid (and its end organ, the left ...

  4. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

    Evidence remains inconclusive about whether these risks outweigh the benefit of a coronary arterial stent. [3] [4] Inflammation may play a causal role in coronary artery disease and subsequent myocardial infarction due to coronary thrombosis. Increased levels of inflammation may lead to higher risk of clotting as well as an increased risk of ...

  5. Acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_coronary_syndrome

    Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a syndrome due to decreased blood flow in the coronary arteries such that part of the heart muscle is unable to function properly or dies. [1] The most common symptom is centrally located pressure-like chest pain , often radiating to the left shoulder [ 2 ] or angle of the jaw, and associated with nausea and ...

  7. Coronary artery ectasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_ectasia

    Coronary artery ectasia is characterized by the enlargement of a coronary artery to 1.5 times or more than its normal diameter. [1] The disease is commonly asymptomatic and is normally discovered when performing tests for other conditions such as coronary artery disease, stable angina and other acute coronary syndromes.

  8. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

    Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.
