Associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and prealbumin with coronary vessels stenosis determined by coronary angiography and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2023
Background: To explore the associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and prealbumin (PAB) with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction (MI).

Usefulness of Proximal Coronary Wave Speed for Wave Intensity Analysis in Diseased Coronary Vessels [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020
Background: Wave speed is needed to separate net wave intensity into forward and backward traveling components. However, wave speed in diseased coronary arteries cannot be assessed from hemodynamic measurements obtained distal to a stenosis.

The impact of stenting on hemodynamic environment of tortuous coronary artery: results derived from a numerical simulation model [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
BackgroundStent implantation in vessels with moderate/severe coronary tortuosity is associated with increased rates of target vessel failure due to higher rates of target vessel-related myocardial infarction or ischemia-driven target vessel ...

Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Hemodynamic Measures as Determinants of Increased Arterial Stiffness Following Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Valvular and arterial function are tightly intertwined, both in terms of structural changes and hemodynamics. While proximal valvulo-vascular coupling contributes to the cardiovascular consequences of aortic stenosis, less is known on how peripheral ...

Layered Plaque in Organic Lesions in Patients With Coronary Artery Spasm

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Coronary artery spasm plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of coronary plaques. We sought to investigate the plaque characteristics of co‐existing organic lesions in patients with coronary artery spasm in comparison to those without coronary

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 ...

An Endothelial Contribution to Coronary Vessels [PDF]

Cell, 2012
Despite the profound impact of coronary artery disease on human health, the origins of the coronary blood vessels are poorly understood. Wu et al. use imaging and genetic techniques to show that the endocardium contributes to the coronary vessels and that the coronary arteries and veins have multilineage origins.
