Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is a form of cardiovascular disease that causes reduced blood flow to the heart due to constricted blood vessels. It is the most common type of heart disease. The kinds of CAD are stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death.
Adenosine Injection - Pharmacological Aspects
Adenosine helps in diagnosing coronary artery disease in non-exercising patients by widening heart blood vessels.
Transradial Approach for Coronary Angiography
The trans-radial approach for coronary angiography offers a safer and more comfortable alternative to femoral access.

Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery From the Pulmonary Artery- An Overview
ALCAPA is a cardiac defect that affects the left coronary artery, which oxygenates the heart muscle, originating from the pulmonary artery rather than the aorta.
Drug-Eluting Stents - Advancements in Cardiovascular Medicine
A drug-eluting stent (DES) is a tiny mesh tube inserted in a blocked coronary artery to allow normal blood flow to the heart. Read to know more.
