background coronary heart disease (chd) is the leading cause of death worldwide. research indicates that coronary atherosclerosis is the most frequent cause of chd. evidence is scarce concerning the clinical efficacy of fibrinogen or neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (nlr) measurement in risk-stratifying patients with chronic stable angina. conclusions nlr and fibrinogen predicted cad, independent of...

BACKGROUND Although there have been many studies on the risk factors for coronary artery disease, the etiology of coronary artery spasm has not yet been determined. METHODS AND RESULTS After diagnosis by coronary arteriography, various risk factors were compared between two groups of subjects using logistic regression analysis. The vasospasm group included 175 patients with angiographically d...

As research continues in the field of coronary artery disease, more information is revealed about various etiological factors. Emerging lipoprotein risk factors have been identified and are now starting to surface as instrumental in the cause and prevention of coronary artery disease. In order to conduct comprehensive cholesterol screening programs and counseling sessions a health professional ...

We examined whether coronary risk factors and atherosclerotic lesions in the study artery were associated with impaired endothelium-dependent dilation of coronary resistance arteries. Acetylcholine (ACH) at graded doses (1, 3, 10 and 30 micrograms/min) and papaverine (10 mg) were selectively infused into the left anterior descending coronary artery of 28 patients, in whom the study artery was a...

background: data on premature coronary artery disease (cad) are scarce. the tehran heart center's premature coronary atherosclerosis cohort study (thc-pac) is the first study of its kind in the middle east to assess major adverse cardiac events (mace) in young cad patients. methods: the cohort consists of cad patients, males ≤ 45 years old and females ≤ 55 years old. the participants are reside...

AIMS To identify risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease after heart transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS In consecutive heart transplanted patients, who underwent coronary angiography at the first year follow-up, the aetiology of heart failure in 113 was ischaemic heart disease or dilated cardiomyopathy. Development of clinically significant graft coronary artery disease ...
