Air Pollution and Coronary Plaque Vulnerability and Instability An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Rocco A. Montone et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between exposure to air pollutants and mechanisms of coronary instability in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The findings suggest that higher concentrations of air pollutants are associated with the presence of vulnerable plaque features and plaque rupture as a mechanism of coronary instability.

Rocco Antonio Montone et al.

Summary: This study assessed the safety and predictive value of intracoronary ACh provocation testing in patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries and myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries. The results showed a low risk of complications with ACh provocation testing and its ability to identify patients at higher risk of future clinical events.

Ambient Air Pollution and Atherosclerosis Insights Into Dose, Time, and Mechanisms

Graham H. Bevan et al.

Summary: Ambient air pollution from particulate matter <= 2.5μm is a major environmental risk factor contributing to global mortality, particularly due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Studies suggest that even at levels below air quality guidelines in North America and Europe, there is a continued association between particulate matter <= 2.5 levels and ASCVD. Research in animals and humans has provided insights into the mechanisms through which air pollution exposure may predispose individuals to atherosclerosis.

Coronary provocative tests in the catheterization laboratory: Pathophysiological bases, methodological considerations and clinical implications

Rocco A. Montone et al.

Summary: The management of angina and myocardial ischemia has historically focused on obstructive coronary artery disease, but a significant proportion of patients do not have obstructive CAD. Functional mechanisms and coronary vasomotor disorders may be involved in myocardial ischemia, but diagnosing these disorders can be challenging. Coronary provocative tests can provide valuable information on the pathogenic mechanism of myocardial ischemia, but their use in clinical practice is limited and mainly restricted to specialized centers.

Clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with microvascular angina: an international and prospective cohort study by the Coronary Vasomotor Disorders International Study (COVADIS) Group

Hiroaki Shimokawa et al.

Summary: The study aimed to provide multinational, multi-ethnic data on the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with microvascular angina (MVA). Results showed that a diagnosis of MVA signifies a substantial risk for major cardiovascular events (MACE) associated with hypertension and a previous history of coronary artery disease (CAD), regardless of sex or ethnicity.

Summary: PM2.5 air pollution is associated with increased leucopoietic activity and arterial inflammation, independently predicting major adverse cardiovascular events through a biological pathway involving heightened leucopoietic activity and arterial inflammation.
