Group I normal CTCA, II had non-obstructive atherosclerosis, III obstructive atherosclerosis. All underwent a clinical examination, history taking, angiography.The mean EFT was significantly greater in group (10.43 ± 2.31 mm) compared to groups (6.30...

To determine the impact of CKD on completeness revascularization and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).

Background: Interventions involving coronary artery bifurcation lesions are technically demanding and have been historically linked with lower procedural success rates poorer clinical outcomes compared to non-bifurcation lesions, necessitating specialized preparation distinct expertise. This study aimed contrast the application of drug-coated balloons that conventional in provisional stenting lesions. Methods: The is an interventional trial . sixty participants who fulfilled inclusion...

Background Peptidyl-prolyl isomerase cyclophilin A (CypA) plays important roles in inflammation. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which CypA exerts its effects. It secreted human monocytes activated high glucose level. has a role as an inflammatory mediator vascular tissue damage.Aim This study aims to compare plasma levels of type 2 diabetic patients with or without coronary artery disease (CAD) those healthy participants determine potential promoting patient and association...

Over the previous decade, cardiovascular disease fatalities worldwide have risen by around 20 percent, with themajority of deaths happening in poor and middle-income nations (nearly 70 percent all diseasedeaths). The purpose this study was to examine relationship between local EFT, PCFT, PCFD theexistence severity coronary artery disease. Methods: In an imaging facility, researchers conducted crosssectional single-center study. Patients who were sent for MSCT angiography had either known or...

Introduction: Early recognition of acute right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) is very crucial for the initiation treatment to avoid complications. Objective: The objective this study assess predictors complications in patients with inferior and RVMI. Patients Methods: This prospective, single-center included 100 RVMI presented within 6 h symptoms onset. All received streptokinase as thrombolytic therapy. had undergone conventional two-dimensional echocardiography LVEF, RVEF, RVFAC,...

Evaluation of the diagnostic value speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) at rest and during dobutamine stress in predicting presence severity coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with chronic stable angina. A total 100 angina were evaluated using STE to detect presence, severity, number affected arteries. Then, correlation SYNTAX score (SS) was analyzed. showed better agreement angiography (CA) than (DSE) detecting stenosis (Kappa = 0.819, p < 0.001). suggested involvement left anterior...

Coagulation status with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) needs to be monitored carefully ensure maximal efficacy minimal complication rates. Aim . To study the international normalized ratio (INR) values in patients on VKAs selected area, find out which patient characteristics that is associated good INR control and calculation of time therapeutic range (TTR) according number INR/Patient. Material methods A total 200 non-valvular atrial fibrillation prescribed antagonist as anticoagulant were...

Background: To evaluate the efficacy of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in detecting existence, degree, and intensity coronary artery affection patients with suspected disease (CAD).This study aimed to Investigate ability STE identify size, individuals a diagnosis CAD.Methods: This cross-sectional enrolled 200 candidates COD.Patients underwent angiography.Global longitudinal peak systolic strain(GLPSS) was measured linked angiography findings for every subject.Results: ROC analysis...

Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the acute injury may evolve in left ventricular remodeling despite effective coronary revascularization and optimal medical therapy leads to advanced heart failure.The aim of present study was assess effect management strategy ST segment elderly on LV clinical outcome.This included 150 patients above 60 years old with referred Coronary care unit, Benha University Hospital.They classified into 3 groups:patients who treated...

The plasma level of two common cardiovascular disease markers, cardiac troponin I and C-reactive protein, in alopecia areata AGA affected subjects.We aimed to assesment patients with detect if there is arole as a biomarker for affection the (AGA) pathogenesis it's associations looking hidden problem.The study was conducted on 75 participants; 50 suffering from Androgenetic alopecia, addition 25 control normal healthy persons.Norwood Classification male Pattern Baldness Ludwig Female , ECG,...

Background: When CKD and CAD are present, they termed a high-risk combination.Few studies particularly focus on in patients despite the high incidence, it is often an exclusion factor most trials.Study's goal was to see whether individuals with CCS who had were more likely have successful revascularization severe adverse cardiovascular events future.Aim of The work: This study aims examine effect chronic kidney disease MACE CCS.Patients methods: from November 2019 October 2021, Benha...

If treated, hypertension (HTN) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and overall mortality (1).Life expectancy in adults is reduced by five years due to HTN, which commonly misdiagnosed or improperly treated despite widespread availability effective pharmacological medicines updated clinical recommendations (2).Hypertensive heart a sequela characterised left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), atrial enlargement, diastolic dysfunction, functional mitral regurgitation, neuro-hormonal...

Around one million pacemakers are installed every year, with atrio-ventricular (AV) block being the reason for more than a third of these procedures.High-burden right ventricular (RV) pacing is often tolerated decades without any overt left (LV) failure in majority patients.It has been shown, however, that prolonged RV reduces LV function and ultimately causes heart (1).Left ejection fraction (LVEF) may decrease certain individuals pacemaker implants following pacing.Pacing-induced...

A proper analysis for the connection between baseline characteristics and incidence of death death-plusmyocardial (re)infarction at 30 days was done by [1].The most important features associated with in were age, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, ST-segment depression, signs pump failure, elevated levels biomarkers.A risk estimation score developed from this [1].Over last 10 years, multiple methods stratification ACS patients have been developed.Different scores are now available based on...

Aim: To track the reverse cardiac remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy post resynchronization therapy (ON and OFF modes) its implication on clinical condition emphasizing factors achieving that remodeling.Patients Methods: 30 indicated for device were enrolled studied before three to six months after insertion by history taking, examination, transthoracic echocardiogram, ECG minutes' walk test.Results: (23 males 7 females, mean age (54.50 ± 6.24years) implanted CRT.All sinus...
