It is thought that most coronary artery fistulae are congenital in origin, resulting from the persistence of intratrabecular sinusoids during embryonic development.1,2 The persistence of these sinusoids results in the communication between...

ABSTRACT: The use of intravenous enoxaparin, a glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor, during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to be safe and to possibly reduce in-hospital and 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE)....

In the past, atrial fibrillation (AF) was regarded as an arrhythmia caused by multiple wavelets rotating in a totally random fashion around both atria. Recent studies, however, show that a variable amount of organization is involved in the...
