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

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020 BACKGROUND Patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. However, it remains unclear whether the high risk is due to high atherosclerotic disease burden or if presence of stenosis has ...

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 ...
