The predictive value of the triglyceride—glucose index for cardiovascular events in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2022
Background Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary artery is a difficult problem in clinical practice. The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index is an effective risk predictor of cardiovascular risk.

C-reactive protein and other circulating markers of inflammation in the prediction of coronary heart disease.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2004
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein is an inflammatory marker believed to be of value in the prediction of coronary events. We report data from a large study of C-reactive protein and other circulating inflammatory markers, as well as updated meta-analyses, to

Considering the Risks and Costs of Solid Organ Xenotransplantation

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses the rationale, risks, and costs of whole‐organ xenotransplantation. It considers alternative strategies to obviate the demand for transplants and optimize allotransplantation systems and practices that do not impose xenotransplantation's harms and risks, and whether they are the most ethical and effective means to increase ...

Associations between hyperhomocysteinemia and the presence and severity of acute coronary syndrome in young adults ≤ 35 years of age

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background The prevalence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) continues to increase among young Chinese adults. Homocysteine (HCY) has been suggested as a promoter of atherosclerosis leading to coronary artery disease (CAD).

Segmentation of Coronary Artery Stenosis in X-ray Angiography using Mamba Models [PDF]

2024 14th International Conference on Computer and Knowledge Engineering (ICCKE), Mashhad, Iran, Islamic Republic of, 2024, pp. 326-331
Coronary artery disease stands as one of the primary contributors to global mortality rates. The automated identification of coronary artery stenosis from X-ray images plays a critical role in the diagnostic process for coronary heart disease. This task is challenging due to the complex structure of coronary arteries, intrinsic noise in X-ray images ...

Gemfibrozil for the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease in men with low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Veterans Affairs High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Intervention Trial Study Group.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
BACKGROUND Although it is generally accepted that lowering elevated serum levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in patients with coronary heart disease is beneficial, there are few data to guide decisions about therapy for patients whose ...
