  2. Isolated CAE in MI linked to more recurrent events
    Isolated diffuse coronary artery ectasia increases recurrent MI and stent thrombosis risk. Index artery events occur more frequently in affected patients.
  3. Left anterior descending artery spasm caused a large anterior myocardial infarction
    Rare case of extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction caused by left anterior descending artery spasm without coronary obstruction, diagnosed using cardiac MRI and OCT imaging.
