BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a condition associated with accelerated progression of atherosclerosis in affected individuals. Myocardial assessment using exercise testing in such patients, however, is often difficult to perform. Our objective was to determine the factors associated with severe coronary stenosis using computed tomography (CT) angiography of the coronary arteries in asy...
Current available data do not seem to support the strategy for carotid endarterectomy prior to surgical intervention in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. However, in patients with coronary artery disease, synchronous carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting should be considered where there is a proven surgical risk of <3% with unilateral asymptomatic stenosis >60% o...
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia is common in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, and many previous studies have reported the associations between hyperuricemia and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, which are the major cause of death in such patients. We investigated the relationship between serum uric acid level and the severity of coronary stenosis in ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MH...
Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the accepted reference standard for assessment of artery stenosis because its unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution ability to perform therapeutic interventions in same session [1].
A 48 year old woman presented with angina after an anterior myocardial infarction and was found to be hyperthyroid. Coronary angiography showed a stenosis of the left coronary os and a long, severe stenosis of the left anterior descending artery which was partially relieved by glyceryl trinitrate. Three months later, after radioactive iodine treatment had rendered her euthyroid, repeat coronary...
Introduction The aortic cusp has been recognized as a target of radiofrequency (RF) ablation in patients with ventricular arrhythmias. In some patients, ventricular arrhythmias have been mapped well into the ostial coronary arteries rather than the coronary cusps. Coronary artery stenosis is one of the most serious complications of RF ablation. This is the first case report describing severe ri...
background: paraoxonase-1(pon1), a high-density lipoprotein (hdl) associated enzyme, is believed to contribute in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (cad). the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of pon1 promoter c (-107)t polymorphism with the extent of coronary artery stenosis in iranian patients. methods : the rflp analysis for determination of the c(-107)t genotype d...
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common form of valvular heart disease in the elderly population and occurs frequently in conjunction with coronary artery disease. The standard treatment option for patients with these two conditions has been surgical aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting. The arrival of transcatheter aortic valve replacement has considerably shifted the ...
Coronary collateral circulation usually develops as a consequence of recurrent ischemia associated with severe stenosis. In exceptional cases, it can develop with moderate coronary lesions if there is severe recurrent vasospasm. In this situation, the presenting clinical features of vasospastic angina (i.e., effort angina with ST-segment depression) can be identical to those of a severe permane...
BACKGROUND Myocardial blood flow (MBF) can be measured with positron emission tomography (PET) and its quantification should provide diagnostic information beyond that obtained through standard visual analysis. However, this possibility has not been fully studied with PET and generator-produced rubidium-82 (⁸²Rb). We evaluated regional MBF in segments with and without ischemia using ⁸²Rb PET in...
