Successful Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Atherosclerotic Coronary Lesion with Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery by Junji Matsuda, Takashi Ikenouchi, Giichi Nitta, Shunichi Kato, Kazuya Murata, Miki Kanoh, Yukihiro Inamura, Nobutaka Kato, Tomomasa Takamiya, Ken Negi, Akira Sato, Tsunehiro Yamato, Yutaka Matsumura, Junichi Nitta

“…The right coronary artery was found to originate from the left coronary sinus and exhibit tight stenosis due to atherosclerosis, causing effort angina pectoris. This case highlights the fact that coronary artery anomalies can cause angina pectoris via both atherosclerotic and nonatherosclerotic effects, and successful revascularization was achieved noninvasively via percutaneous coronary angioplasty.…”

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Vitamin D in Cardiology by Norbert Güttler, Kirila Zheleva, Mariana Parahuleva, Ridvan Chasan, Mehmet Bilgin, Christiane Neuhof, Mehmet Burgazli, Bernd Niemann, Ali Erdogan, Andreas Böning

“…Vitamin D deficiency appears to be related to an increase in parathyroid hormone levels and can predispose to essential hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, increased insulin resistance, and eventually to atherosclerosis and adverse cardiovascular events. Randomized prospective clinical trials are needed to determine whether vitamin D and omega-3 FA supplementation therapy should be recommended as a routine therapy for primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.…”
