Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a global health concern of paramount significance, representing a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Over the years, substantial strides have been made in understanding the pathophysiology, risk factors, and management of CAD. Nevertheless, the early identification and precise assessment of CAD risk continue to be essential for effective preventive strategies and optimized patient care.

This Special Issue, titled “Recent Advances in Coronary Artery Disease Screening”, is dedicated to exploring the latest breakthroughs, innovative technologies, and emerging paradigms in CAD screening and risk assessment. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to disseminate their research findings, share clinical experiences, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on CAD prevention.

The articles featured in this Special Issue will span a wide spectrum of topics related to CAD screening, encompassing novel imaging modalities, risk prediction models, biomarkers, and lifestyle interventions. We invite authors to submit their original research, reviews, and clinical studies that delve into the intricacies of CAD screening, from the basic science underpinning these advancements to their practical applications in patient care.

As the guest editors of this Special Issue, we are excited to bring together a diverse range of contributions that will illuminate the ever-evolving landscape of CAD screening, offering fresh insights and evidence-based strategies to enhance cardiovascular health. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we aspire to catalyze improvements in CAD prevention and, ultimately, reduce the burden of this pervasive cardiovascular condition on global health. We encourage researchers and clinicians to join us in this endeavor, sharing their expertise and discoveries for the betterment of individuals at risk of CAD and the broader healthcare community.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background and Objectives: Myocardial bridging (MB) is still not yet considered a significant finding in Indonesia both radiographically and clinically. Hence, this article aims to assess the prevalence of MB using multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and look at factors contributing to stenosis amongst patients with MB. Materials and Methods: This study is cross-sectional in a single centre, with consecutive sampling, looking at all patients who underwent a multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scan from February 2021 until February 2023. GraphPad Prism version 9.0.0 for Windows (GraphPad Software, Boston, MA, USA) was used to analyse the results. Results: There are 1029 patients with an MB, yielding a prevalence of 44.3% (95%CI 42.3–46.4). The left anterior descending vessel is the most commonly implicated, with 99.6%. Among those with stenosis, the middle portion of the bridging vessel is the most common site of stenosis (n = 269), followed by the proximal portion (n = 237). The severity of stenosis is more often moderate, with 30–50% (n = 238). Females (odds ratio [OR] of 1.8, 95%CI 1.4–2.3; p-value < 0.0001), older age (t-value 5.6, p-value < 0.0001), symptomatic patients (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1–1.9; p-value = 0.013), and higher mean coronary artery calcium score (t-value 11.3, p-value < 0.0001) are more likely to have stenosis. The degree of stenosis is significantly higher in the proximal stenosis group than in the middle stenosis group (t-value 27, p-value < 0.0001). Conclusions: Our research demonstrates that MB may prevent atheromatosis of the coronary segment distal to the MB and predispose the development of atherosclerosis in the section proximal to the bridge.
