To demonstrate whether there is a relationship between the presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and extent coronary artery (CAD).Ninety-two consecutive patients who planned to undergo angiographies (CAG) without known CAD, other than findings acute syndrome, were enrolled in this study. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed before CAG detect NAFLD. CAD defined as stenosis at least 50% one major artery. The measured according number artery/arteries affected by CAD. All risk...
Background: Fibulin 1 and 2 are members of the extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein family. ECMs drive prognosis through remodeling, a key step in pathogenesis heart failure (HF). We aimed to compare levels different stages HF investigate their relationship with other prognostic factors HF. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): reduced non-reduced LVEF. The control patient consisted individuals Stages A B HF, C D respectively....
Diabetic patients tend to have more extensive and diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD) that may contribute the less favorable outcomes in them. The aim of this study was elucidate predictors angiographic severity extent CAD with diabetes.A total 203 diabetic (116 men; mean age, 61.9+/-10.8) who were referred for a first angiogram included. assessed several ways. simple classification one-vessel, two-vessel, three-vessel scoring system. numbers segments > or = 20 50% stenosis calculated as...
Background Endothelial dysfunction and subsequently impaired microvascular circulation are the leading mechanisms in development of cardiac syndrome X (CSX). The study evaluated plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) L-arginine levels patients with CSX control group aimed to determine any relationship between these parameters epicardial coronary blood flow myocardial tissue perfusion. Methods consisted 32 (mean age: 52.6±9.4 years, 14 men) typical exertional angina, positive exercise...
Pregnancy-associated hemodynamic changes may cause severe complications in patients with cardiovascular diseases. It also reveal previously undiagnosed conditions or worsen existing ones. To prevent maternal and fetal during pregnancy, a thorough evaluation of the pregnant woman's cardiac history, symptoms, functional capacity, physical examination should be conducted, line current risk classification systems. In this case series, we present course pregnancy four pathology.
Given that the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, asymmetric dimethylarginine, can decrease bioavailability and lead to atherosclerosis, its concentration be a good predictor for coronary artery disease. In this study, we investigated relationship of plasma dimethylarginine with lesion distribution severity at angiography.Ninety-eight patients stable angina were enrolled prospectively. We divided into two groups. Group I (n=37) included normal arteries. All other in group II (n=61)....
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) have a regenerative role in the vascular system. In this study, we aimed to evaluate simultaneously effects of EPC and inflammatory on presence extent coronary artery disease (CAD) grade collateral growth patients with clinical suspicion CAD.This study has cross-sectional observational design. We enrolled 112 eligible who underwent angiography consecutively (mean age: 59±9 years). The association circulating (defined by CD34+KDR+ lymphocyte monocyte gate)...
Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is a pathological condition determined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥25 mmHg. (PAH) precapillary PHT and life-threatening disease group which consists of different etiologies with the same clinical findings, characterized by elevated vascular resistance. Dasatinib dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitor associated higher affinity for BCR/ABL than imatinib, used treatment chronic myelocytic leukemia Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic...
Woven coronary artery is relatively rare and can be complicated in both acute chronic phases. A few case reports have been published until now. Herein we report a with right woven managed drug-eluted stent implantation without complication.
Objectives We sought to investigate the early and late effects of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on stent thrombosis major adverse coronary events after artery (CAS) implantation at a long-term follow-up period. Methods Forty-three patients (28 men, mean age 63±10 years) who underwent CAS before MRI examination were included. was performed 1.5-T MR-system with phased array multicoil. An average 1.3 stents per patient implanted (1–4 stents). More than one for two patients. Patients within 8...
Objective . Left circumflex (LCx) artery originating from the right coronary arterial (RCA) system has been reported as most common form of anomalous origination a opposite sinus (ACAOS). However, some studies claim that RCA left (LCS) is frequent form. The aim this study was to determine type ACAOS in single center. Materials and Methods database catheterization laboratory retrospectively searched. All patients who were performed angiography between 1999 2006 included registry. examinations...
The aim of this study was to disclose the release kinetics heart fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) and myoglobin in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reperfused by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) determine influence quality flow post PPCI on properties these markers.Twenty-four patients with AMI who underwent successful had no evidence reocclusion within first 120 minutes were studied. Serum HFABP levels at baseline 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 after reperfusion measured. Corrected...
Objective: Myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR) is utilized to determine the hemodynamic significance of coronary stenoses. We sought effect, if any, metoprolol on FFR in patients with stenoses intermediate severity. Methods and results: Eighteen (10 males, mean age, 59.4 ± 7.7 years) isolated, (30% 70% narrowing angiogram) lesions proximal LAD a preserved ejection fraction, underwent measurement using 0.014 inch pressurewire intracoronary adenosine injection before after intravenous at...
We report a patient who experienced an anaphylactic reaction during coronary artery stenting. Immediately after polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting stent (Taxus, Boston-Scientific) is deployed, the developed profound hypotension and erythematous rash. The case complicated with spasm new thrombus formation making second implantation necessary. was successfully reversed epinephrine, steroid, antihistaminic, 9-hr infusion of dopamine, intraaortic balloon counterpulsation. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect statin treatment on P-wave morphology, dispersion, and tissue Doppler imaging-derived atrial conduction time (PA-TDI), which are known be predictors fibrillation (AF).A total 132 patients with guideline-directed indications but no clinical tachyarrhythmias were studied. duration, amplitude surface 12-lead electrocardiogram PA-TDI evaluated before after three months (either atrovastatin 10-40 mg/d or rosuvastatin 10-20 mg/d) treatment.Total...
