The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between extent coronary artery disease assessed by Gensini score and/or SYNTAX and significant carotid stenosis in patients undergoing bypass grafting (CABG).A total 225 who had doppler ultrasonography prior CABG were included retrospectively. Significant assumed as a lumen diameter ≥50% any major epicardial arteries. severity determined B-mode duplex ultrasonography. Clinically defined peak systolic velocity greater than 125 cm/s.The...

The prevalence of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) in angiography (CAG) has risen with ageing populations, along the expansion CTO percutaneous interventions (CTO-PCI). However, CTO-PCI encounters challenges such as undersized stents, dissection risks, and limited access to intravascular imaging (IVI), particularly regions health budgets. This study introduces 'GIVE IT TIME TO SOBER UP - GITSU strategy', a two-session approach where Thrombolysis Myocardial Infarction (TIMI-3) antegrade...

Transradial Access (TRA) is the suggested method when performing coronary procedures. TRA has several advantages over transfemoral approach, but also some restrictions. The present study compared efficacy and safety of traditional proximal transradial approach (pTRA) with a newer technique known as distal (dTRA) for angiography (CAG) percutaneous intervention (PCI). Patients (n = 700) were placed into one two categories (dTRA or pTRA) based on random technique. primary endpoint was RAO at...

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are group of drugs commonly used in Alzheimer disease and have beneficial effects on treatment. Although they many known side effects, cardiovascular rarely seen. We present a 84 year old female who was admitted to emergency service due repetitive syncope episodes while taking donepezil. Her electrocardiogram showed QT prolongation follow-up Torsades de Pointes episode occurred. Patient discharged with normal corrected time after removal

No gold standard exists for grading tricuspid regurgitation (TR) severity. We developed a simple parameter, the right ventricular (RV) early inflow-outflow (RVEIO) index, using diastolic filling velocity and RV outflow integrated over systolic ejection period. hypothesized that this index would help identify severe TR in clinical practice.We obtained data from routine transthoracic echocardiograms. All records reporting moderate (n=395) or were reanalyzed to measure vena contracta (VC)...

Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is an emergent cardiothoracic disorder. The PESI score used to estimate 30-day mortality in patients diagnosed with non-high-risk APE. Also, there are biomarkers for predicting prognosis and Catestatin (CST) accepted as a marker ofsympathetic nervous system activity which has been shown that the sympathetic activation can contribute pathogenesis So, we attempt herein investigate correlation of PE diagnosis prognostic determination plasma CST levels...

Background: Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and smoking are associated with coronary artery disease ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, patients without any classic risk factors have a higher mortality rate in the post-STEMI period. The aim of this study was to investigate relationship between in-hospital creatinine/albumin ratio STEMI modifiable factors. Materials & methods: All included diagnosis who underwent primary percutaneous intervention 2016 2020 were...

Abstract Introduction Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a cardiothoracic thromboembolic emergency at risk of life‐threatening. Several graduation algorithms may be applied to delineate short‐term mortality in patients with APE. In this study, we aim depict the relationship between right ventricular early inflow‐outflow (RVEIO) index, which Doppler‐based parameter, and severity index(PESI) acute embolism. Methods presented total 160 who were diagnosed APE using computed tomography angiography...

The distinctive liver framework is converted into structurally abnormal nodules as a consequence of tissue fibrosis in cirrhosis. Cardiac dysfunction cirrhosis was described, and the term “cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM)” coined to describe this syndrome. Recent research has shown that contractile characteristics right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) have significant impact on functions. tract-systolic excursion an important systolic function marker RVOT (RVOT-SE). There yet be published...

Collateral vessels develop from pre-existing arterioles in response to shear stress arterial stenosis and mechanosensor activation. Animal studies suggest that these increase number size after occlusion, potentially offering a natural bypass protection against critical limb ischemia. Efforts enhance collateral vessel growth aim improve walking performance peripheral disease (PAD). Factors influencing formation include plaque accumulation, tissue components, comorbid conditions.
