Background: SYNTAX score (SxS) has been demonstrated to predict long-term outcomes in stable patients with coronary artery disease. But its prognostic value for patients with acute coronary syndrome remains unknown. Aim: ...
P-wave dispersion and its relationship with the severity of the disease in patients with stable coronary artery disease
(Kare Publ, 2014)
OBJECTIVE: P-wave dispersion (PD) is an indicator of inhomogeneous and discontinuous propagation of sinus impulses. In the present study we aimed to investigate the PD and its association with the severity of the disease. ...
Serum Vitamin D and C- Reactive Protein Levels Are Independently Associated With Diastolic Dysfunction
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014)

The Relationship Between Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Levels and Coronary Plaque Burdens and Plaque Structures in Young Adults With Coronary Atherosclerosis
(Wiley, 2014)
Background: Elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels have been demonstrated to be associated with poor prognoses in patients with coronary artery disease. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a ...
Association of Glomerular Filtration Rate With Slow Coronary Flow in Patients With Normal to Mildly Impaired Renal Function
(Sage Publications Inc, 2014)
We evaluated the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and slow coronary flow (SCF) in patients with normal to mildly impaired renal function; 211 patients with angiographically proven SCF and 219 ...
