Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events.

The Coronary Artery Disease Paradox [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hypertension, 1995
After effective antihypertensive therapy was introduced in the 1950s, we rapidly showed that lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertensive crises saved lives. In the 1960s, the benefit for those with asymptomatic elevations of diastolic blood pressure levels of > or = 115 mm Hg was proven and, in the early 1970s, the value for those with ...

Aneurysmal coronary artery disease of the right coronary artery [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2003
Coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon, with male dominance and uncertain natural history. The RCA is predilected in 50% of cases. Complications are thrombus, risk of rupture and vasospasm. Treatment is not clearly defined, only anecdotal experience exists. We treated two elder male patients with isolated large aneurysm of the RCA (Fig. 1a,b) presented

Low adiponectin levels are an independent predictor of mixed and non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaques. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). There is increasing recognition that lesion composition rather than size determines the acute complications of atherosclerotic disease.

Association of obstructive sleep apnoea with long-term cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome with or without hypertension: insight from the OSA-ACS project

open access: yesBMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2023
Background A close relationship exists between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and hypertension. However, the impact of hypertension on the prognostic significance of OSA in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear.Methods This is a ...

Heart rate and use of beta-blockers in stable outpatients with coronary artery disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
<p><b>Background:</b> Heart rate (HR) is an emerging risk factor in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there is little contemporary data regarding HR and the use of HR-lowering medications, particularly beta-blockers, among ...

The Impact of Systemic Inflammation Response Index on the Prognosis of Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: Inflammation is essential in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and progression. A novel inflammatory parameter, the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), has been proven to predict cancer prognosis strongly.

Adipokines and coronary artery disease

open access: yesMonaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2015
Adipose tissue, besides being an important energetic storage, is also a source of cytokines and hormones which act in a paracrine, autocrine and especially endocrine manner, influencing the cardiometabolic axis. Adipokines are a group of mediators with pleiotropic function, that are involved in many physiological processes, so that a disregulation in ...
