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 ...
Dobutamine Tc-99m furifosmin SPECT in detection of coronary artery disease: Evaluation of same day, rest-stress protocol
(JAPANESE SOCIETY NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2003)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of same day reststress myocardial perfusion SPECT (MP SPECT) protocol by using technetium-99m (Tc-99m) furifosmin in conjunction with ...
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 ...
The effect of collateral circulation on left ventricular systolic function
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2007)
Background Conflicting reports exist on the influence of coronary collateral circulation on preservation of left ventricular systolic function. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coronary collateral circulation ...
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 ...
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, ...
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. ...
