Abstract
A 59-year-old man presents to the hospital following a syncopal episode after a low-speed car accident without visible injuries. He was diagnosed with stress cardiomyopathy and severe triple-vessel coronary artery disease. The case was complicated by complete heart block that culminated in refractory cardiogenic shock. Literature and current approach are reviewed.

Prognosis of Patients with Advanced Liver Disease and Positive Stress Echocardiograms: Impact of Coronary Artery Disease, Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis, and Beta-blocker Therapy
Cardiac Complications are the leading cause of mortality after orthotopic liver transplantation. Advanced liver disease patients with positive DSE are at increased risk. CAD, beta blocker use and NASH are independently associated with cardiac events.

Coronary Artery Disease in Athletes-Insights from Cardiac CT
Exercise is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits, including reduced mortality and a lower risk of cardiovascular events. However, recent studies suggest that athletes may exhibit a paradoxical increase in coronary artery calcium (CAC) and high-risk plaque morphology. Additionally, there is considerable conflicting evidence and numerous gaps in current research on this topic. With the growing population of athletes, particularly “Master Athletes’, understanding the implications of coronary atherosclerosis in this group is increasingly important.
Extracellular Long Non-coding Punisher as Biomarker and Effector In-patient with Coronary Artery Disease via Regulating Endothelial Cell Function
Coronary artery disease (CAD) stands as one of the foremost contributors to cardiovascular events and death on a global scale. The primary underlying mechanism for CAD is atherosclerosis, which can precipitate severe cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke. Despite significant advancements in clinical diagnosis and treatment modalities, the incidence and mortality rates associated with CAD remain alarmingly high, necessitating continuous research into novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
The Diagnostic Accuracy of Ankle Brachial Index in Relation to Coronary Computed Tomography in Coronary Artery Disease
Arterial stiffness and loss of recoil indicate arterial aging and arteriosclerosis, which heighten the risk of cardiovascular issues, particularly ischemic heart disease. Advances in technology, particularly coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), allow for accurate detection of coronary luminal stenosis with high image quality. Due to its noninvasive nature and high specificity and negative predictive value, CCTA is widely utilized for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD). It also facilitates the analysis of plaque characteristics and calcium levels in the coronary arteries, providing further insights into coronary risk.
