Association between serum vitamin D levels and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and plaque burden/composition in young adult population
(Assoc Basic Medical Sci Federation Bosnia & Herzegovina Sarajevo, 2015)
Evidence suggests that low 25-OH vitamin D (25)(OH)D concentrations may increase the risk of several cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, myocardial infarction, ...
Usefulness of the uric acid and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score in prediction of left atrial thrombosis in patients with mitral stenosis and sinus rhythm
(Via Medica, 2015)
Background: The risk of thrombus formation in the left atrium is known to be very high in patients with both mitral stenosis (MS) and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, that risk should not be ignored in patients with MS ...
Does SYNTAX score predict in-hospital outcomes in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention?
(Polskie Towarzystowo Kardiologiczne, 2014)
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: ...
Serum Vitamin D and C- Reactive Protein Levels Are Independently Associated With Diastolic Dysfunction
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014)
Background Recruitment of large, diverse populations into genetic studies remains challenging. Potential strategies to overcome limitations include leveraging electronic health data and minimizing patient burden. We sought ...
Usefulness of the Logistic Clinical Syntax Score in Prediction of Saphenous Vein Graft Failure in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(Sage Publications Inc, 2015)
We investigated the association between the preoperative logistic clinical syntax score (log CSS), saphenous vein graft (SVG) patency, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) after coronary artery ...
Relationship of fibroblast growth factor 23 and fetuin-A to coronary atherosclerosis
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015)
Background: Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and fetuin-A are established predictors of morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the relationship ...
Association Between Contrast Media Volume-Glomerular Filtration Rate Ratio and Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
(Sage Publications Inc, 2015)
We hypothesized that contrast media volume-estimated glomerular filtration rate (CV-e-GFR) ratio may be a predictor of contrast media-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). We investigated the associations between CV-e-GFR ...
