Resumo Fundamento: A isquemia com artéria coronária não obstrutiva (INOCA) é uma doença cardíaca isquêmica que inclui principalmente disfunção microvascular coronariana e/ou vasoespasmo coronariano epicárdico devido à vascular subjacente e pode ser observada mais comumente em pacientes do sexo feminino. O índice de inflamação imunológica sistêmica (SII, relação plaquetas × neutrófilos/linfócitos) um novo marcador prediz resultados clínicos adversos na arterial (DAC). Objetivo: Este estudo...

Background Levels of galectin-3, a member family soluble β-galactoside-binding lectins, are reported to be higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and metabolic syndrome. Conflicting results exist on the effects galectin-3 diabetic patients. The aim this study was investigate relationship between levels coronary artery disease (CAD), plaque burden, structures DM. Patients methods A total 158 consecutive DM undergoing planned computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were included...

The platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been investigated as a new predictor for cardiovascular risk. aim of the present study was investigate prognostic role admission PLRat in predicting in-hospital and early mortality patients presenting with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A total 639 consecutive STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included. population divided into tertiles on basis PLR values at admission. high (N = 213)...

Red cell distribution width (RDW) and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) have been extensively studied as predictors of morbidity mortality in several cardiovascular diseases. This prospective study aimed to investigate relationship between long term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) simple hematological parameters hypertensive patients.The included a total 1202 patients with newly diagnosed HT. Of patients, 662 (55.1%) were female 540 (44.9%) male, mean age 53.0 ± 11.4 years....

We hypothesized that contrast media volume–estimated glomerular filtration rate (CV–e-GFR) ratio may be a predictor of media-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). investigated the associations between CV–e-GFR and CI-AKI in 597 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). An absolute ≥0.3 mg/dL increase serum creatinine compared with baseline levels within 48 hours after procedure was considered as CI-AKI; 78 (13.1%) experienced CI-AKI. The amount during higher...

ABSTRACT Background Access‐related vascular complications (VCs) after percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are associated with poor clinical outcomes and remain a significant challenge despite technological advances. The aim of this study was to identify anatomic predictors access‐related VCs TAVR on preprocedural contrast‐enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Aims anatomical MDCT. Methods A total 348 consecutive patients symptomatic severe AS...

The present study aimed to evaluate whether the Triglycerides-Glucose (TyG) index has a prognostic value for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including stroke, necessity of pacemaker, acute kidney failure, and short-term all-cause mortality at 12 months, in aortic stenosis (AS) patients who underwent transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). A total 380 TAVI due severe AS were retrospectively included study. main outcome was MACEs months. TyG found be higher developed than those did not...

<title>Abstract</title> Developments in artificial intelligence encourage society to seek advice from regarding nutrition recommendations, as other health issues. There are not enough studies this field. We hypothesized that ChatGPT would plan meals and daily diet within the specified calories with high accuracy.This study used version 3.5, freely available public. was instructed generate plans 1500, 2000, 2500 well recipes 300, 500, 700 (four distinct recipe prompts were utilized for each...

The present study was performed to assess the value of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in determining adequacy (BP) control, and its relationship echocardiographic findings haemodialysis (HD) patients.We studied 40 non-diabetic adult patients who had been on regular HD treatment for a median duration 43 months. Twenty-four-hour ABPM using non-invasive ABP monitor (Pressurescan, ERKA). Casual BP (cBP) defined as average two measurements obtained at sessions, one preceding...

Summary Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) was performed on 28 elderly patients (mean age 82 years) who were dysphagic and intolerant of naso-gastric feeding. Twenty-six recovering from a stroke; the interval between onset stroke PEG averaged 63 days. The procedure successful well tolerated by all patients. Nineteen (68%) still had functioning median 14 weeks after placement. One patient whose swallowing recovered tube removed 6 months its insertion. Seven (25%) subsequently died...

The plateletcrit has been investigated as a new predictor of cardiovascular risk. objective our study was to investigate the role admission in predicting long-term mortality patients presenting with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We enrolled 296 NSTEMI (mean age 59.2 ± 11.8 years; 228 men, 68 women) this study. population divided into tertiles on basis values. A high (n = 98) defined value upper third tertile (plateletcrit >0.23), and low 198) any lower two ≤0.23)....

Objectives Platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and physiopathology cardiovascular events. Plateletcrit provides complete information on total platelet mass. The relationship between plateletcrit values long-term outcomes patients with carotid stenosis is not known. purpose present study to evaluate reliability for predicting major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events (MACCE) stenosis. Methods A 230 more than 50% artery were retrospectively included this...

Abstract Background One of the hallmarks frailty in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is malnutrition, for which one most up‐to‐date scoring systems Naples prognostic score (NPS). This study sought to investigate predictive role NPS determining mortality undergoing transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) under long‐term follow‐up. Methods A total 430 consecutive symptomatic AS who underwent TAVR were included retrospectively. The primary endpoint was all‐cause mortality. population...

Background: Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis are important comorbidities commonly seen in postmenopausal women. The aim of the present study was to investigate relationships between blood pressure, glucose, bone mineral density (BMD) Turkish Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 270 consecutive patients who were admitted an outpatient clinic with vasomotor symptoms and/or at least 1 year amenorrhea included. categorized into three groups according their pressure metabolic...

Superior auricular artery (SAA) island flaps elevated from the retroauricular region have perfect color, thickness, and texture match with facial skin. In this article, reconstruction of periorbital defects SAA is presented. Flaps were categorized into three types because they on different pedicles. A type 1 flap was a superficial temporal vessel pedicled antegrade blood flow. 2 reverse flow based frontal branch (STA). 3 parietal STA. Fourteen patients (9 females 5 males) aged between 31...

The coronary slow flow (CSF) phenomenon is a delayed antegrade progression of contrast agent to the distal branch artery in absence obstructive disease (CAD).
