The acute coronary syndrome is the most severe form of coronary artery disease. It is an immediate threat of life and the mortality rate can be high without proper therapy and patient management. Based on the first ECG, two different forms can be distinguished: acute coronary syndrome with and without ST elevation. Besides adequate medication, management of these patients is an essential part of treatment. In case of ST elevation, coronarography and percutaneous coronary intervention is needed in general, within 24 hours from the onset of symptoms. When ST elevation is not detected on the ECG, individual ischemic risk factors and predictable mortality of the patient may define the necessity and the date of the invasive examination. The Hungarian hemodynamic laboratory network covers almost the whole country and, therefore, practically each patient may receive a state-of-the-art therapy. Although indicators of cardiovascular diseases are still prominent, the mortality rate of myocardial Infarction is decreasing in Hungary due to the well-organized invasive care. Orv.

Percutaneous coronary intervention is being performed over the last 35 years. In this time span a remarkable advancement occurred in this field regarding skill & hardware. Its spectrum has also been widened starting from chronic stable angina to Acute coronary syndrome, single vessel disease to multivessel disease, simple to complex lesions including left main disease. The incidence and prevalence of Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is also increasing. Number of studies has been conducted to decide how far this modality of treatment can change the morbidity and mortality of the IHD. Cardiologists are trying to detect the culprit lesions, treatment of which will be beneficial for the patient. Number of noninvasive and invasive modalities has been introduced to determine the functional significance of a coronary artery stenosis. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is one of the relatively new methods in this field. We will discuss some of the basic aspects of FFR and its implications in different subsets of coronary artery disease.

Coronary artery disease combined sepsis associated myocardial ischemia resulting in diffuse ST elevation on electrocardiogram has rarely been reported. We reported a rare case of diffuse ST elevation precipitated by septic shock and preexisting severe atherosclerosis heart disease. In clinical scenario, it is imperative for physicians to be aware of non-ischemic ST elevation etiologies and avoid inappropriate activation of the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) protocol, while not missing ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: Long term outcomes of culprit multi-vessel and left main patients who presented with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and underwent either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not well defined. Randomized trials comparing the two modalities constituted mainly of patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). We performed a meta-analysis of studies that compared the long term outcomes of CABG vs. PCI in NSTE-ACS. Methods: Medline, EmCare, CINAHL, Cochrane databases were queried for relevant articles. Studies that included patients with SCAD and ST-elevation myocardial infarction were excluded. Our primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 3-5 years, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, re-infarction and repeat revascularization. The secondary outcome was re-infarction at 3 to 5 years. We used the Paule-Mandel method with Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman adjustment to estimate risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed using Higgin’s I 2 statistics. All statistical analysis was carried out using R version 3.6.2 Results: Four observational studies met our inclusion criteria with a total number of 6695 patients. At 3 to 5 years, the PCI group was associated with a higher risk of MACE as compared to CABG, (RR): 1.52, 95% CI: 1.28 to 1.81, I 2 =0% (PANEL A). The PCI group also had a higher risk of re-infarctions during the period of follow up, RR: 1.88, 95% CI 1.49 to 2.38, I 2 =0% (PANEL B). Conclusion: In this meta-analysis, CABG was associated with a lower risk of MACE and re-infarctions as compared to PCI during 3 to 5 years follow up period.
