Coronary Collaterals in Obese Patients: Impact of Metabolic Syndrome
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2009)
Obesity is a growing pandemic. Among obese patients with significant coronary artery stenosis, development of coronary collaterals was investigated. Consecutive 104 obese patients with stable angina pectoris were enrolled. ...
Dobutamine stress tetrofosmin SPECT; evaluation of short rest-stress protocol and head to head comparison with MIBI in detection of coronary artery disease
(JAPANESE SOCIETY NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2005)
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of same day short rest-dobutamine stress Tetrofosmin (TF) SPECT imaging protocol and to compare TF SPECT results with MIBI ...
Effects of MPO-463G/A and -129G/A polymorphisms on coronary artery disease risk and patient survival in a Turkish population
(SPANDIDOS PUBL LTD, 2017)
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an oxidative hemoprotein compound expressed in polymorphonuclear leukocytes that contributes to inflammatory responses. Coronary artery disease (CAD), as the most prevalent form of heart disease, ...
Association between NF-kappa BI and NF-kappa BIA polymorphisms and coronary artery disease
(SPANDIDOS PUBL LTD, 2015)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of fatalities worldwide. Nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B is a transcription factor that controls cell proliferation, differentiation and immunity. To the best of our knowledge, ...
A high oxidative stress index predicts endothelial dysfunction in young male smokers
(COMENIUS UNIV, 2013)
Experimental studies have shown that smoking was related to endothelial dysfunction via oxidative stress. However, the degree of oxidative stress to be associated with endothelial dysfunction is unknown. Oxidative stress ...
The prevalence of exfoliation syndrome in Turkey
(WILEY, 2016)
Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of the exfoliation syndrome and its relationship with ocular and cardiovascular diseases in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Methods: This cross-sectional and population-based ...
Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of significant coronary artery involvement in patients with peripheral artery disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006)
Background Peripheral artery disease is a common condition, mainly associated with clinical cardiovascular risk factors. Patients with peripheral artery disease suffer from coronary artery disease-related complications. ...
Sonographic Evaluation for Predicting the Presence and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2013)
Purpose: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between age, sex, obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and both the presence and severity of coronary ...
Coronary collateral circulation: Any effect on P-wave dispersion?
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2008)
Coronary collateral circulation determines the severity of ischemic myocardial damage. Increased P-wave dispersion is an independent predictor for atrial fibrillation. Consistent evidence is little about the relation between ...
Impact of coronary collateral circulation on QT dispersion in patients with coronary artery disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006)
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) on QT dispersion (QTD) in coronary artery disease. Background A prolonged QTD has been linked to increased heterogeneity of ...
