The association between serum serglycin level and coronary artery disease severity in patients with stable angina pectoris
(VIA MEDICA, 2018)
Background: Serglycin plays a key role in the inflammatory status however the relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) and serglycin is still unknown. Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate association of ...
MicroRNA-221/222 expression in atherosclerotic coronary artery plaque versus internal mammarian artery and in peripheral blood samples
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018)
Background: Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arterial wall with predilection to some sites on others. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of the non-coding RNAs regulating the target gene expression at post-transcriptional ...
Microalbuminuria is Associated With the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease Independently of Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2012)
The potential early predictive value of microalbuminuria (MA) in the estimation of atherosclerosis and the relation between the degree of urinary albumin excretion and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) were ...
Association between MMP-3 and MMP-9 polymorphisms and coronary artery disease
(SPANDIDOS PUBL LTD, 2016)
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-9 polymorphisms are characterized by plaque stability in coronary arteries. The aim of the current study was to investigate the 5A/6A polymorphism in the MMP-3 gene and C/T polymorphism ...
The relationship between the existence of angiographic coronary artery calcification and the severity of coronary artery disease
(TERMEDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, 2012)
Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) and closely related to major adverse cardiac events. The Gensini score is a scoring system to determine the severity and extent ...
Determinants of coronary collateral circulation in patients with coronary artery disease
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2013)
Objective: This study aims to identify possible determinants of coronary collaterals in patients with severe coronary artery disease. Methods: The current study has a retrospective cohort design. Seventy four patients with ...
Effect of sequential coronary artery bypass venous grafting on right ventricular functions assessed by tissue Doppler echocardiography
(CLINICS CARDIVE PUBL PTY LTD, 2012)
Background: Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a well-known and proven method of treatment for coronary artery disease. A modification of this method is complete revascularisation of the right ventricle by sequential ...
Coronary artery disease in outpatients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: results from the multicenter RAMSES study
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2016)
Background Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) frequently coexists with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the optimal antithrombotic strategy for patients with concomitant CAD and NVAF is controversial. The aim ...
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, ...
