Single coronary artery: a familial clustering.

ABSTRACT: A 59 year old man undergoing investigation for chest pain was found at elective coronary angiography to have a single coronary artery; the left coronary had a normal distribution, with the right coronary originating as a continuation of the atrioventricular circumflex. His 30 year old daughter was admitted for elective coronary angiography for further investigation of a dilated cardiomyopathy. She was also found to have a single coronary artery. However, in her case, the right and left coronary arteries arose from the right sinus of Valsalva; the right coronary had a normal distribution, the left coronary passed anterior to the pulmonary trunk and aorta.

Familial hypercholesterolemia and vulnerability of coronary plaque in patients with coronary artery disease.

Project description:ObjectivesPatients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are at a very high risk of coronary artery diseases. The aim of the present study was to clarify the characteristics of coronary plaque in patients with FH.Designand Methods: A total of 569 patients who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of culprit plaque were included. The characteristics of culprit plaque were compared between patients with and without FH.ResultsA total of 38 patients (6.7%) were clinically diagnosed with FH. The location of the culprit plaque was significantly different (p < 0.001) with a trend toward higher frequency of left main lesion in the FH group than in the group with no FH (7.9 vs. 0%). Culprit plaque was significantly shorter in patients with FH than those without FH (28.1 vs. 33.2 mm, p = 0.016). A trend toward higher prevalence of plaque with macrophage accumulation in patients with FH than those without FH (50.0 vs. 34.7%, p = 0.056) was observed, although the prevalence of other vulnerable characteristics including thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) was comparable between patients with and without FH. Among patients with FH, significant increases in the prevalence of lipid-rich plaque (p = 0.028) and TCFA (p = 0.003) were observed according to the increase in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.ConclusionsPatients with FH had shorter culprit plaque without significant difference in the prevalence of vulnerable plaque components compared with patients without FH. A higher LDL-C level was associated with higher prevalence of vulnerable plaque in patients with FH.

GATA2 is associated with familial early-onset coronary artery disease.

Project description:The transcription factor GATA2 plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of adult hematopoiesis. It is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells, as well as the cells that make up the aortic vasculature, namely aortic endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. We have shown that GATA2 expression is predictive of location within the thoracic aorta; location is suggested to be a surrogate for disease susceptibility. The GATA2 gene maps beneath the Chromosome 3q linkage peak from our family-based sample set (GENECARD) study of early-onset coronary artery disease. Given these observations, we investigated the relationship of several known and novel polymorphisms within GATA2 to coronary artery disease. We identified five single nucleotide polymorphisms that were significantly associated with early-onset coronary artery disease in GENECARD. These results were validated by identifying significant association of two of these single nucleotide polymorphisms in an independent case-control sample set that was phenotypically similar to the GENECARD families. These observations identify GATA2 as a novel susceptibility gene for coronary artery disease and suggest that the study of this transcription factor and its downstream targets may uncover a regulatory network important for coronary artery disease inheritance.

Absent right coronary artery: A case of single coronary artery or congenital ostial atresia?

Project description:Atresia of the right coronary artery ostium is a rare anatomic variant of the coronary circulation. It is often difficult to differentiate from single coronary artery. Its presence unassociated with any other anomaly has never been described in an adult individual. We report this unusual anomaly and discuss its anatomical and pathophysiological significance and possible ways to differentiate from single coronary artery.

Percutaneous coronary intervention in a rare variety of single coronary artery.

Project description:We present a case of 50-year-old male having unstable angina. A rare type of single coronary artery was identified during the Coronary angiogram. The left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex artery (LCX) had originated from the proximal segment of right coronary artery along with significant lesion in LCX. Computed tomographic (CT) coronary angiogram confirmed the origin and course following which successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was done to LCX. The incidence of this type of coronary anomaly is 0.004%. We emphasize the importance of having a CT coronary angiogram to identify the course before the intervention. The procedural risk during PCI in patients with single coronary ostium is high. Moreover, the angulation and course of the culprit artery also pose a challenge. Good coaxial guide support by using an appropriate guiding catheter is the key to success.

Computed tomography coronary angiography diagnosis of single right coronary artery with congenital absence of left coronary artery system equivalents.

Project description:The present case report is computed tomography (CT) coronary angiographic depiction of an exceedingly rare entity-single right coronary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva with the absence of equivalent left coronary artery system branches and associated mitral valve prolapse. Even though a statistical rarity, it is potentially fatal and can cause myocardial ischemia, sudden cardiac death, and warrants immediate clinical attention. Further, the report reveals the decisive role of CT coronary angiogram in the diagnosis of such rare entities, in contrast to catheter angiography, which may be inconclusive.

Mutant LRP6 Impairs Endothelial Cell Functions Associated with Familial Normolipidemic Coronary Artery Disease.

Project description:Mutations in the genes low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein-6 (LRP6) and myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) were reported in families with coronary artery disease (CAD). We intend to determine the mutational spectrum of these genes among hyperlipidemic and normolipidemic CAD families. Forty probands with early-onset CAD were recruited from 19 hyperlipidemic and 21 normolipidemic Chinese families. We sequenced all exons and intron-exon boundaries of LRP6 and MEF2A, and found a novel heterozygous variant in LRP6 from a proband with normolipidemic CAD. This variant led to a substitution of histidine to tyrosine (Y418H) in an evolutionarily conserved domain YWTD in exon 6 and was not found in 1025 unrelated healthy individuals. Co-segregated with CAD in the affected family, LRP6Y418H significantly debilitated the Wnt3a-associated signaling pathway, suppressed endothelial cell proliferation and migration, and decreased anti-apoptotic ability. However, it exhibited no influences on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol uptake. Thus, mutation Y418H in LRP6 likely contributes to normolipidemic familial CAD via impairing endothelial cell functions and weakening the Wnt3a signaling pathway.
