Association of serum cardiac troponin I and severity of coronary stenosis in patients with varied renal functions: a retrospective cohort study

BMJ Open, 2022
Background and objective Recent studies showed cardiac troponin I (cTnI) might be a non-invasive biomarker to estimate the severity of coronary stenosis. However, serum cTnI is also found associated with renal function.

Pericardial adiposity versus body adiposity measured by BMI in the assessment of coronary atherosclerosis burden in patients with hypertension

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2021
Objectives The link between obesity and hypertension with coronary atherosclerosis is complex. We aimed to assess the association of cardiac fat deposition measured by pericardial fat volume(PFV) using by multi-detector CT(MDCT) and general obesity ...

Audible Coronary Artery Stenosis [PDF]

The American Journal of Medicine, 2016
Hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenoses generate turbulent blood flow patterns that manifest as intracoronary murmurs. This study aims to evaluate the performance of modern acoustic detection of these murmurs by acoustic signals captured from patients undergoing gold standard comparative coronary angiography.We prospectively studied 156 ...

Coronary sequelae of mitral stenosis [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2009
An 83-year-old female was admitted because of cardiac decompensation with progressive shortness of breath, peripheral oedema, and atypical chest pain. Her medical history included hypertension, diabetes type II treated with oral antidiabetics, and permanent atrial fibrillation with a brady-tachy syndrome. A pacemaker was implanted previously.

Segmental Tissue Speckle Tracking Predicts the Stenosis Severity in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectiveTwo-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) has been used as a diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether vessel supplied myocardial strain and strain rate (SR) predict the severity of coronary artery ...

The Relationship between Coronary Artery Movement Type and Stenosis Severity with Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2013
Introduction: The severity of coronary artery stenosis which leads to myocardial infarction (MI) has been a matter of controversy. Historical data are in favor of mild luminal stenosis (

Erectile dysfunction and angiographic correlation between coronary artery stenosis and internal iliac-internal pudendal artery stenosis in patients with suspected coronary artery disease: a retrospective study [PDF]

Journal of Men's Health, 2023
This study aimed to assess the angiographic correlation between coronary artery stenosis and internal iliac-internal pudendal artery (II-IPA) stenosis and evaluate its association with erectile dysfunction (ED). We reviewed the data of 91 patients who

Salusin- is superior to salusin- as a marker for evaluating coronary atherosclerosis

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Objective This study was performed to evaluate the interaction effect of salusin-α and salusin-β on coronary artery injury or stenosis. Methods The salusin-α and salusin-β concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 256 patients ...

Functional Measurement of Coronary Stenosis

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2012
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered nowadays as the gold standard for invasive assessment of physiologic stenosis significance and an indispensable tool for decision making in coronary revascularization. Use of FFR in the catheterization laboratory accurately identifies which lesions should be stented and improves the outcome in most elective ...
