In patients with ventricular arrhythmias, the evaluation for potential ischemic CAD will guide appropriate treatment, including coronary revascularization. 10,11 The “2017 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for Management of Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death” describes situations in which CABG or PCI may.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes impaired blood flow in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Also called coronary heart disease (CHD), CAD is the most common form of heart.

Coronary artery disease, also called CAD, is a condition that affects your heart. It is the most common heart disease in the United States. CAD happens when coronary arteries struggle to supply the heart with enough blood, oxygen and nutrients. Cholesterol deposits, or plaques, are almost always to blame.

Conditions and Disorders Care Frequently Asked Questions Overview What is the heart? The heart is a fist-sized organ that pumps blood throughout your body. It's the primary organ of your circulatory system. Your heart contains four main sections (chambers) made of muscle and powered by electrical impulses.

Coronary Sinus. The coronary sinus serves as the primary collector of cardiac venous blood and is located in the atrioventricular groove on the diaphragmatic surface of the heart [6-7]. The coronary sinus is the largest cardiac vein in terms of diameter. Various landmarks have been described as the location of the coronary sinus origin.

The National Institutes of Health recently launched a randomized multicenter trial, known as the Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain or PROMISE, study, to test how the choice of initial diagnostic test (coronary CT angiography or stress testing) affects patient outcomes.
