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 ...

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.

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 ...
