Background:Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a new prognostic marker in coronary artery disease. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between PLR and in-hospital mortality patients with ST-elevated acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Material andMethods:The present study included 636 AMI. The population was divided into tertiles based on their admission PLR. Patients having values third tertile defined as high group (n=212) those lower 2 were low (n=424). Results:Risk factors of disease...

Platelet activation plays a pivotal role in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We investigated the relationship between platelet distribution width (PDW) and severity of artery disease (CAD) patients with ACS. A total 502 ACS were enrolled. High (n = 151) low PDW 351) groups defined as having values third tertile (>17%) lower 2 tertiles (≤17%). There significantly higher Gensini score (44 [10-168] vs. 36 [2-132], P < .001), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (3.1 [0.8-12.4] .2.5 [0.3-13], .012)...

Bilirubin is a bile pigment with potent anti-oxidant properties; in previous studies it has been reported to be negatively associated coronary artery disease (CAD). Although elevated serum bilirubin concentrations may protect against endothelial dysfunction, not clear whether higher levels (SBLs) physiological ranges work favor of good collateral development patients chronic total occlusion (CTO).The study population consisted who underwent angiography suspicion CAD. Patients had CTO at...

In acute coronary syndromes (ACS), oxidation and inflammation have very important roles in-vitro studies demonstrated that gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) participates in such oxidative inflammatory reactions. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of baseline serum GGT activity on development major adverse cardiac event (MACE) follow-up patients with ACS care unit (CCU), after 1 6 month periods. included 117 (mean age: 61.2+/-11.3 years, 93 males) hospitalized CCU diagnosis ACS. All had...

Red cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported to be a predictor of cardiac events in coronary artery disease (CAD). Here, we hypothesized that RDW level on admission would predictive adverse outcomes non-ST elevation acute syndrome (NST-ACS).In total, 202 patients with NST-ACS (159 males and 43 females) were retrospectively analyzed. The divided into two groups based the 50th percentile levels. A high group (n=100) was defined as those having levels >14.0. relationship between primary...

Aim Hemodialysis ( HD ) patients had higher cardiovascular mortality and it is related to atherosclerosis. Epicardial adipose tissue EAT thickness a marker of atherosclerosis independent predictor coronary artery disease. The aim our study was evaluate the relationship between carotid intima‐media CIMT predictors early in patients. Methods included 62 40 healthy controls. were measured by echocardiography all subjects. Results (6.98 ± 1.67 vs. 3.84 0.73 mm, P &lt; 0.001, 0.94 0.17 0.63 0.11...

The prognostic value of a high platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been reported in patients with non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and different oncologic disorders. We aimed to evaluate the predictive PLR for left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) acute coronary syndrome (NST-ACS).A total 220 NST-ACS were included study. study population was divided into tertiles based on admission values. High (n=73) low (n=147) groups defined as having values third tertile (>135.6)...

Fragmented QRS complexes (fQRS) are defined as various RSR' patterns in 2 contiguous leads corresponding to a major coronary artery territory. Although the reason of association between fQRS and cardiac events was documented fibrosis, predictive role not studied for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) which is frequent serious complication patients undergoing isolated bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Therefore, this issue investigated present study.The current study has prospective...

Ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs) are usually considered a benign condition that can be managed with conservative measures. Heart rate variability (HRV), which is one of the most important methods for assessing autonomic activity, noninvasive, quantitative method analyzing effects on heart. We aimed to investigate risk arrhythmia in patients VEBs and without cardiovascular disease by using HRV parameters.Patients frequent (more than 30 times 1 hour, according Lown classification) were...
