Endothelial-specific molecule 1 (endocan) is expressed in endothelial cells. We investigated the relationship between acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and serum endocan levels. included 30 individuals as a control group 53 patients diagnosed with ACS. The severity of artery disease was assessed by modified Gensini stenosis SYNTAX scoring system. There significant difference levels ACS (0.75 ± 0.13 vs 0.86 0.25 ng/mL, P = .014). also diabetic nondiabetic (1.02 0.33 0.81 0.21 .016). no...

Background The contribution of functionally disturbed coronary autoregulation and structurally impaired microvascular vasodilatory function to reduced flow velocity reserve, reflecting microcirculation in diabetes mellitus ( DM ), has not been clearly elucidated. objective this study was identify the mechanism impairment relation duration disease. Methods Results Coronary velocities anterior descending artery were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography following angiography revealing...

Background Epidemiological studies show that immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were higher in subjects with acute coronary events. However, it is unknown if the increased IgE level a marker of future incidents and whether may be regarded as risk factor an ischemic heart disease. Objective Our aim was to investigate relationship between some atherosclerotic markers patients without known Methods Fifty (mean age, 40.96 ± 10.8 years) high serum due various conditions who did not display evidence...

Objectives Children with Turner syndrome ( TS ) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease CVD ), but associations subclinical not well‐characterized. The purpose this study was to assess myocardial function using strain imaging (SI) by echocardiography in children and without known . Methods included 48 aged 4–16 years 20 healthy control children. were excluded if they had a cardiac malformation, decreased left ventricular (LV) systolic function, or any chronic disease. Each child an...

Vitamin D has beneficial effects, some of which involve the cardiovascular system. No study to date investigated association between serum endocan levels, as a biomarker endothelial inflammation, and vitamin levels in absence subclinical atherosclerosis detected by carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) healthy individuals.Subjects were categorized into three groups based on according Endocrine Society guidelines. Mean CIMT was calculated from six measurements two scans. Statistical...

Background The extent of pressure‐related damage might be related to acceleration rate the applied pressure (peak dP /dt) in vascular system. In this study, we sought determine whether /dt aortic wall (aortic and turn extracellular matrix degradation can mitigated via modulation left ventricular ( LV ) contractility by pacemaker‐mediated desynchronization. Methods Results First, 34 patients, changes values 3 segments response stepwise QRS widening leading gradual desynchronization...

Retrograde coronary aortic dissection is a rare but dangerous complication of angioplasty. Mostly seen in right artery procedures, especially chronic total oclussion lesions, and rarely left side procedures. This case report an complicated by angioplasty the circumflex artery. Immediate stenting main successfully sealed entry point stabilized patient.

A 28-year-old male patient was admitted following a fall from height. Lower abdominal computed tomography revealed multiple fractures in the hip bones. Following operation by orthopedic surgeons, episodes of sinus tachycardia were present. Examination suggested hyperdynamic circulation, with continuous murmur lower right quadrant abdomen. re-examination contrast-enhanced 4.5x4x3 cm sac arising lateral sacral iliac artery branch, early arterial filling left vein iliac. The findings evaluated...

Coronary microvascular dysfunction, also known as cardiac syndrome X, is a clinical presenting with typical angina and evidence of myocardial ischemia in the absence flow-limiting stenosis on coronary angiography. Of patients undergoing angiography due to suspected ischemia, 50% are found have normal or near-normal arteries. Described this case report patient who developed hypotension ST segment depressions during treadmill exercise test. Left main artery multivessel disease was suspected....
