The association between the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and coronary artery disease severity in patients with stable coronary artery disease
(Verduci Publisher, 2019)
OBJECTIVE: Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) may reflect a systemic inflammatory status. We investigated the association between the LMR and ...
Predictors of slow flow in angiographically normal coronary arteries
(E-Century Publishing Corp, 2015)
Introduction: Slow coronary flow (SCF) is a well-known angiographic finding; however, the pathophysiology of SCF remains only partially understood. In this study, we have examined the risk factors of slow coronary flow. ...
Improvement of Dilated Cardiomyopathy with Methylprednisolone in a Patient with Multiple Fibrosclerosis
(Shiraz Univ Medical Sciences, Cardiovascular Research Center, 2014)
Multifocal fibrosclerosis is a rare syndrome of unknown cause that is characterized by fibrosis involving multiple organ systems. Definitive diagnosis can only be made based on biopsy findings. In this case, the biopsy ...
Serum vitamin D and C-reactive protein levels are independently associated with diastolic dysfunction
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)
Background and Aim: Vitamin D deficiency is common and may contribute to cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels would be inversely associated with inflammation and with ...
The effect of atorvastatin on P wave dispersion in hyperlipidemic patients
(2013)
Aim P wave dispersion (PWD) has been shown to be a noninvasive predictor for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Atorvastatin is a 3 hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMGCoA) reductase inhibitor that lowers ...
Acute Toxic Myocarditis and Pulmonary Oedema Developing from Scorpion Sting
(Shiraz Univ Medical Sciences, Cardiovascular Research Center, 2015)
The majority of scorpion stings are generally seen with a set of simple clinical findings, such as pain, oedema, numbness, and tenderness in the area of the sting. However, occasionally events, such as toxic myocarditis, ...
Association of epicardial fat thickness with clinical and polysomnographic parameters in non-obese obstructive sleep apnoea patients
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship of epicardial fat thickness with severity of obstructive sleep apnoea, and clinical and polysomnographic parameters, and to determine independent predictors for ...
An ECG changed the life of a young boy: A case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a progressive condition with the right ventricular myocardium being replaced by fibrofatty tissue. It is a hereditary disorder mostly caused by desmosome gene mutations. ...
A thalassaemia intermedia case with concomitant left atrial thrombus
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)
Although marked improvements have been observed in the life expectancy of patients with thalassaemia by regular blood transfusion and strict iron chelation therapies in recent years, these patients still have to deal with ...
Utility of the Logistic Clinical Syntax Score in the Prediction of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016)
Background: The Logistic Clinical Syntax Score (log CSS) is a combined risk scoring system that includes clinical and anatomic parameters; it has been found to be effective for the prediction of mortality in patients with ...
