Cardiovascular disease in particular acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is remained one of the most cause morbidity and mortality, annually. Considering inflammatory pathway atherosclerosis, colchicine as an anti-inflammatory drug introduced to be effective pathogenesis, prognosis mortality rate these patients. So order find out effects this we conducted trial know whether it reduces major adverse cardiac events (MACE) ACS patients or not.In a prospective randomized double-blinded...
Abstract We used machine learning methods to investigate if body composition indices predict hypertension. Data from a cohort study was used, and 4663 records were included (2156 male, 1099 with hypertension, the age range of 35–70 years old). Body analysis done using bioelectrical impedance (BIA); weight, basal metabolic rate, total regional fat percentage (FATP), fat-free mass (FFM) measured. such as Support Vector Classifier, Decision Tree, Stochastic Gradient Descend Logistic Regression,...
Objective To investigate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on patients' perceptions hardship in obtaining their drugs and if this social restrictions response to that has resulted any changes seizure control status. We also investigated factors potentially associated with difficulty (eg, polytherapy vs monotherapy, taking imported drugs, status worsening). Methods surveyed a random sample patients epilepsy, who were registered our database at Shiraz Epilepsy Center, Iran, two issues: (a) What...
Abstract Clinical scoring systems such as the HEART score can predict major adverse cardiovascular events, but they cannot be used to demonstrate degree and severity of coronary artery disease. We investigated potential Score in detecting existence disease based on SYNTAX score. This multi-centric cross-sectional study patients referred cardiac emergency departments three hospitals between January 2018 2020. Data including age, gender, risk factors, comorbidities, 12-lead ECG, blood pressure...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) remains an important medical diagnostic and screening tool. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of online classes instead traditional face-to-face or blended methods in students' ECG learning.Two hundred fifteen students (including 105 (48.8%) males 110 (51.2%) females) were studied from February 2021 2022. Regardless their grade, participants divided into three groups: online, face-to-face, blended. Then all sat for interpretation exam, results...
Abstract Background SYNTAX score is one of the risk assessment systems to predict cardiac events in acute coronary syndrome patients. Despite large number benefits, invasive methods such as angiography are necessary perform scoring. We hypothesized that ECG parameters could unstable angina Methods During retrospective cohort study, a total 876 patients were diagnosed with angina. After applying exclusion criteria, 600 divided into tertiles based on scores low (0–22), intermediate (23–32),...
Abstract Background Obesity is a pathology and leading cause of death worldwide. can harm multiple organs, including the heart. In this study, we aim to investigate effect bariatric surgery following weight loss on cardiac structure functions using echocardiography parameters in patients with morbid obesity. Methods cohort 30 older than 18 BMI > 40 or 35 comorbidity between March 2020 2021 were studied. The underwent transthoracic before after six months surgery. Results total, (28 women,...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the association between regional body fat distribution and prevalence of Diabetes mellitus (DM) in adult populations using machine learning. We applied learning methods data from a cohort analyze relationship different areas diabetes. All measurement was done by "Tanita Segmental Body Composition Analyzer BC-418 MA Tanita Corp, Japan". The correlation used parameters DM measured some algorithms i.e. SVM, SGD, KNN, MLP, Adaboost EDINet. A total 4661...
Abstract Background Although using electrocardiogram (ECG) for pulmonary embolism (PE) risk stratification has shown mixed results, it is currently used as supplementary evidence in stratification. This cross‐sectional study aimed to assess and compare ECG findings of massive submassive PE versus segmental PE. Methods included 250 hospitalized patients with a confirmed diagnosis acute from 2015 2020 Southern Iran. Demographic variables, clinical data, troponin levels, on‐admission findings,...
Opium is one of the most abused substances in Middle East. The effects opium use on coronary artery disease (CAD) are a matter debate. This study aimed to assess association between and angiographic findings as well complexity CAD patients with acute syndrome (ACS) diagnosis. In this case-control study, all admitted for angiography from 2019 2020 were evaluated. After applying eligibility criteria, they categorized into two groups non-opium based their history use. Both matched regarding...
Abstract Purpose We investigated the rate of employment in patients with functional seizures (FS) a follow‐up study. also receiving disability benefits these patients. Finally, we factors that are potentially associated their status. Methods In this long‐term study, all FS, who were diagnosed at Shiraz Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, Iran, from 2008 to 2018, investigated. phone call interview February 2020, tried obtain following information: seizure outcome, status, benefits, and current...
Abstract Background Considering that ablation of atypical AVNRT may be unsuccessful after at the right posterior septum, in this study, we aimed to present an optimal method for AVNRT. Also, evaluated efficacy technique preventing recurrences. Methods This is a prospective, double-center study. It was conducted on 62 patients with referred radiofrequency ablation. The were randomly divided into two groups before ablation: 1-Group A (n = 30): treated conventional anatomic area slow pathway;...
Cardiac dysfunction is a serious complication of cirrhosis which usually asymptomatic. We investigated the clinical and electrocardiographic (ECG)-related factors among patients with our aim was to find any associations between ECG changes etiology cirrhosis, as well Child-Pugh score.We hypothesized that some ECG-related factors, particularly prolonged QT interval, are more common in cirrhosis. Also, these associated severity measured by score.From April 2019 December 2022, we reviewed...
Ventricular repolarization measurement by QTc interval and QT dispersion can recognize high-risk patients. Previous research tended to evaluate the act of indicators alone but this study aimed elucidate their prognostic utility before after modifying confounding parameters in risk stratification different aspects prognosis decompensated heart failure patients with systolic dysfunction.Data 98 variables were evaluated determine predictive value concerning arrhythmic events, in-hospital,...
This study aims to assess the prevalence of hypertension (HTN), and determine relationship between HTN anthropometric indices including fat distribution, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) waist-to-height (WHtR) in Shiraz Heart Study. In this cross-sectional study, subjects were enrolled 25 clinics Shiraz. I.R. Iran 2019 2021. A total number 7225 individuals selected, aged 40 70 years whom 52.3% female. Among people living Shiraz, far from clinics, cases mental or physical...
Abstract Obesity can lead to cardiovascular dysfunctions and cause electrocardiographic disruptions. Bariatric surgery plays a significant role in weight loss. To assess its benefits, this study investigated changes before after bariatric surgery. The present article describes retrospective cohort with 6-month follow-up period. Electrocardiograms were interpreted compared six months relationships between loss, type of surgery, alterations analyzed. A total 200 patients participated the...
