Subclinical atherosclerosis was defined as present participants with cIMT values greater than those expected according their age group. In subclinical atherosclerosis, neutrophil-lymphocyte...

Background: We investigated the ability of platelet-to-hemoglobin ratio (PHR) to predict mortality and disease severity in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Materials & methods: The APE was classified as massive (high risk), submassive (intermediate risk) or nonmassive (low risk). PHR is defined platelet count/hemoglobin count. Results: significantly higher APE, this elevation showed a gradual increase from group (p < 0.001). In-hospital 1-month were high values. an independent...

Abstract Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) causes significant morbidity today. Atherosclerosis is evident in the pathophysiological process most patients, so PAD has similar risk factors as coronary artery disease. Platelet-Hemoglobin ratio (PHR) been proven to predict mortality atherosclerotic heart We aimed determine relationship between PHR and below-knee amputation. Methods The study a single-center retrospective study. Platelet count/hemoglobin amount formula was used for...

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a marker of insulin resistance and associated with cardiovascular mortality morbidity. Left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after myocardial infarction (STEMI) poor prognosis. Methods: This retrospective study included 293 STEMI patients. Echocardiography was performed before discharge 3 months MI. Results: Compared the non-LVR group, TyG value found to be higher in LVR group (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that maximal...

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most common complications associated with coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention (PCI). This study evaluated relationship between H 2 FPEF (obesity (H), hypertension(H), atrial fibrillation (F), pulmonary hypertension (P), an age &gt;60 years (E), E/e’ &gt; 9 (F)) score which used to diagnose heart failure preserved ejection fraction CIN. Patients (n = 1346) who underwent PCI for acute syndrome (ACS) December 2018 January 2021 were...
