Many profound physiological changes take place in the cardiovascular system during pregnancy to meet the increased metabolic demands of both the mother and foetus. Such changes include an increase in circulating blood volume and cardiac output and decreases in systemic vascular resistance, blood pressure and hypercoagulation.1,2 The increase in circulatory burden during pregnancy and the…

Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of mortality in pregnancy.1,2 They are classified as direct (acute onset disease) or indirect (worsening of pre-existing cardiac disease). This overview is focused on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in pregnancy and the post-partum period. ACS in this setting is a rare condition, but in the last two decades its incidence has grown.3 This…

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is increasingly recognised as an important cause of myocardial infarction (MI), especially in younger women. It is defined as a non-traumatic and non-iatrogenic separation of the coronary artery wall, which creates a false lumen that may or may not be in continuity with the true lumen. Although conventionally SCAD may be atherosclerotic or non…

The first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) initially demonstrated good promise in terms of reducing the degree of restenosis. They succeeded in arresting the neo-intimal proliferation, which was the bane of coronary stents.1 Over a period of time, however, the polymeric degradation by-products failed to bring about an essential component of the healing process: endothelialisation. Failure of…
