Coronary ostial stenosis [PDF]
From January 1970 to December 1986, 2.7% (228/8509) of all patients having coronary artery bypass grafting had atherosclerotic coronary ostial stenosis of 50% or more. There were 126 males (55%) and 102 females (45%) with mean ages of 60.2 +/- 9.0 and 59.2 +/- 10.2 years (P = NS), respectively.

Coronary Artery Stenosis [PDF]
The near exponential rise in percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and the consequent decline in referral of patients for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has lead to a crisis in cardiac surgery.

Uric Acid-to-Albumin Ratio as a Non-Invasive predictor for the Severity of Coronary Atherosclerosis
Background: Hyperuricemia is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Hypoalbuminemia is a prognostic marker of many cardiovascular diseases, including CAD. Objectives: This study investigates the value of the uric acid-to-serum albumin ratio (UAR)
