The NLR was univariate multivariate linear...

Introduction: Given the role of platelets in thrombus formation, markers platelet activation may be able to predict outcomes patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Methods: In a prospective cohort study, 492 PTE were enrolled. Patients evaluated for indices including mean volume (MPV), distribution width (PDW), and platelet-lymphocyte-ratio (PLR), as well simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) risk score. The primary endpoint was in-hospital all-cause mortality....

Introduction: The knowledge regarding the demographic characteristics of patients with Covid-19 and risk factors distribution is still evolving. Considering role cigarette smoking in pathogenesis lung diseases effect nicotine on expression entry receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it important to determine implications COVID-19. Methods: In this brief report, by using published articles literature, we aimed compare reported prevalence COVID-19 general...

The neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), as a marker of inflammation, is associated with the severity peripheral artery disease (PAD). role NLR on predicting future complications after elective revascularization for patients PAD remains unknown. We aimed to examine in development major adverse limb events (MALE) and long-term mortality these patients. evaluated 1708 procedures from May 2001 December 2015 at Veterans Affairs Western New York Healthcare System prospectively maintained vascular...

Background: In patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it is essential to determine the complexity of coronary lesions on presentation and predict risk no-reflow after primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI). Given that inflammation plays an important role in pathogenesis atherosclerosis, using inflammatory indices might be helpful this setting. Methods: This prospective cohort study recruited 200 consecutive STEMI who underwent pPCI. The...

Cíl: Zhodnotit ovlivnění míry deprese a anxiety rehabilitačním programem pro kardiaky po aortokoronárním bypassu. Deprese anxieta jsou spojeny s horším výsledkem provedení aortokoronárního bypassu.Metody: Do studie jsme zařadili 40 sobě následujících pacientů bypassu, kteří se následně zúčastnili osmitýdenního rehabilitačního programu (cardiac rehabilitation program, REH). Pacienti byli osobně dotazováni na jejich subjektivní hodnocení anxiety. Se všemi pacienty vyplňoval před absolvováním...

To investigate the impact of gender in outcomes patients with ST segment myocardial infarction a setting limited access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention METHODS: In 1017 consecutive hospitalized during years 2008-2013, distribution risk factors, therapeutic methods, heart failure and in-hospital mortality were compared between males females. Association was determined after adjustment for confounding factors.Females significantly older (66±12.1years vs. 59.5±12.7years, p<0.001)....

Background The significance of electrocardiographic changes during exercise tolerance testing for distinguishing occluded artery is not well known. We tried to determine the role ST elevation in leads aVR and V 1 detecting stenosis left main coronary proximal anterior descending artery. Methods segment 230 patients, who underwent diagnostic angiography, were documented. association lead , + STE with depression other pattern investigated.
