Inflammatory Markers Associated With Subclinical Coronary Artery Disease: The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study. [PDF]
BackgroundDespite evidence for higher risk of coronary artery disease among HIV+ individuals, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We investigated associations of inflammatory markers with subclinical coronary artery disease in 923 ...

Coronary computed tomography angiography
Significant limitations exist for traditional noninvasive cardiac imaging with regard to equivocal or indeterminate findings that result in repetitive testing or unnecessary referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Recent hardware and software advances in multislice computed tomography angiography have achieved high spatial and temporal ...

Coronary atherosclerosis scoring with semiquantitative CCTA risk scores for prediction of major adverse cardiac events: Propensity score-based analysis of diabetic and non-diabetic patients. [PDF]
AIMS:We aimed to compare semiquantitative coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) risk scores - which score presence, extent, composition, stenosis and/or location of coronary artery disease (CAD) - and their prognostic value between patients ...

Successful management of retropharyngeal hematoma by trans-arterial embolism without intubation
Background Retropharyngeal hematoma can cause suffocation if there is delay in securing the airway by intubation. However, there are also concerns about complications that can arise with intubation; it is still unknown which cases do not require ...
