OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery surgery is described as high risk surgery in CRF patients. Volume and electrolyte imbalance are some of the reasons of increased risk in this group. In this study, our aim was to determine preo...

Abstract Background Coronary collateral circulation may limit myocardial injury during ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but the magnitude of this association with mortality in contemporary practice remains unc...

Abstract Background As of 2025, cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains a major threat to human life. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still considered life-threatening and therefore prompt diagnosis and immediate int...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Over the past three decades, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has evolved from a anatomical revascularization technique ...

Abstract Transradial approach (TRA) is preferred over transfemoral approach (TFA) for percutaneous coronary interventions due to lower bleeding, vascular complications, and mortality, particularly in acute coronary syndr...

Study objective: To evaluate whether impaired ventriculo-aretrial interaction characterizes chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD) caused by stable chronic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), using wave intensity a...

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is closely associated with dyslipidemia, particularly elevated small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL), which contributes to increased atherogenic risk. Evidence from controll...

Abstract Background Coronary artery angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are superior to non-invasive approaches in reducing mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction...

Abstract BackgroundCardiac rehabilitation improves outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but participation remains suboptimal due to barriers such as distance, cost, and lack of referral. M...

Abstract Background The contact activation system is triggered when blood comes into contact with artificial surfaces. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces such activation, however the extent of factor XII (FXII) reducti...

We read with great interest the recent article by Park H et al (1), entitled “Association between job insecurity and cardiovascular disease among workers with type 2 diabetes mellitus”. The study provides important e...

Abstract One in two cardiac patients fear having another heart event or their cardiac condition worsening. Assessment of fear of recurrence and progression (FoRP) is critical to effective clinical care and chronic diseas...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence, cost, and outcome of severe sepsis in the United States. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: All nonfederal hospitals (n = 847) in seven U.S. states. PATIENTS: All patients...

CONTEXT: Despite decades of accumulated observational evidence, the balance of risks and benefits for hormone use in healthy postmenopausal women remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the major health benefits and risk...
