inflammatory basis in pathopoiesis of coronary artery disease (cad) have been demonstrated in recent decades. elevated c-reactive protein (crp) and leukocytosis were associated with an elevated risk   for acute coronary syndrome (acs). to evaluate the relationship between quantitative crp and cardiac troponin i in conjunction with white blood cell (wbc) count and 30 days outcomes and treatment ...

conclusions the young woman with turner syndrome have several risk factors for early coronary artery disease development. in such cases, dramatic results like sudden death or heart attack at an early age may occur in cases of insufficient follow-up and treatment. case presentation the patient, a 27-year-old female was admitted to the emergency room with chest pain at rest. she was diagnosed wit...

conclusions preoperative echocardiography, applied before elective and emergency percutaneous coronary interventions, plays a key role in detecting many intervention-related complications in the post-intervention period. case presentation a 65-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department and acute inferolateral myocardial infarction was diagnosed. the left atrial hematoma as a...

spontaneous coronary artery dissection (scad) is a rare and important cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. various etiologies are thought to be responsible for this condition, among which underlying atherosclerosis seems to be the most common. scad is predominant in women and is usually diagnosed via coronary artery angiography. therapeutic interventions include medical th...
