myocardial infarction (mi) and its major determinant, coronary artery disease (cad), are complex diseases arising from the interaction between several genetic and environmental factors. until recently, the genetic basis of these diseases was poorly understood. genome-wide genetic association studies have afforded a comprehensive insight into the association between genetic variants and diseases...

background and objectives: in spite of large number of studies conducted so far, sudden cardiac death remains an enigma and relative importance of acute coronary events as a trigger of sudden death is currently unclear. an autopsy study of heart was therefore planned to observe various histomorphological cardiac changes, and to determine the frequency association of acute coronary events and my...

background : st-elevation myocardial infarction (stemi) is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide. there are differences between very young patients with stemi and their older counterparts.   this study investigates the demographics and clinical findings in very young patients with stemi. methods: through a review of the angiography registry, 108 patients aged ≤ 35 years (group i) ...

type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased inflammation and accelerated atherosclerosis. the association of the pro-inflammatory and potentially pro-atherosclerotic molecule, pregnancy associated plasma protein-a (papp-a) with diabetes and vascular diseases remains to be further established. a total of 107 patients with type 2 diabetes and 101 healthy controls participated in this st...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), attacks, stroke, failure (HF), and peripheral artery disease, still represent the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17 [...]

Abstract;
 Coronary artery anomalies are uncommon cardiac diseases. It is mostly detected incidentally in the adult population as well being usually asymptomatic. Although its prevalence low, association with atherosclerosis, arrhythmias, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy important for sudden death. According to literature, of coronary anomaly rare. No case accompanied by absence left anteri...

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of diseases that include both the heart and blood vessels, thereby including coronary (CHD) artery (CAD), acute syndrome (ACS) among several other conditions.
