SuPAR levels were measured in 5810 patients (mean age 63 years, 63% male, 77% with obstructive coronary artery disease [CAD]) undergoing cardiac catheterization.
This case-control study consisted of 53 ECAD patients (age < 55 years) and unrelated late-onsets CAD (age>70 years) who angiographically had at least 50% stenosis.
A polymorphism in the corresponding FCG2RA gene resulting in an amino acid change (R131H) has been implicated, with conflicting results in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (e.g., atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease [CAD]).
In the total sample and also in younger subjects, an association of the PON191 gene variation with the risk of CAD was not detected when the control group of individuals without coronary heart disease was compared with patients with at least one diseased vessel (verified by coronary angiography).
We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of 200 patients (103 women, mean age 59±13 years) who underwent CCTA for suspected or known coronary artery disease prior to the systematic introduction of the CAD-RADS classification in the reports.
We used cardiac Rb-82 PET/CT imaging to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD/CALC) (defect or coronary calcification) and CMD (depressed coronary flow reserve without CAD) in patients with chest pain in an emergency department (ED).
Coronary artery stenosis was ≥50% in 394 patients (coronary artery disease- (CAD-) positive group), and coronary artery stenosis was <50% in 217 patients (control group).
Three hundred and ninety-one subjects with significant coronary stenosis (> 50%) (coronary artery disease-positive; CAD+), 196 subjects with normal coronary arteries (< 10% stenosis) (CAD-) and 178 healthy controls were screened using a combination of polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digestion.
In 523 consecutive patients (age 56 # 13 years, 48% females) undergoing CCTA during a period of 2 years, the pretest probability of coronary artery disease was assessed using the revised Diamond-Forrester model (CAD consortium score).
Effects of cardiac telerehabilitation in patients with coronary artery disease using a personalised patient-centred web application: protocol for the SmartCare-CAD randomised controlled trial.
Patients with AF who were also indicated for cardiac surgery (coronary artery disease [CAD], valve surgery) were randomized to SA or control (no ablation) group.All patients were followed for 5 years.
Background Recent studies have revealed sexually dimorphic associations between the carbamoyl-phosphate synthase 1 locus, intermediates of the metabolic pathway leading from choline to urea, and risk of coronary artery disease ( CAD ) in women.
In the contemporary trials of antithrombotic treatment, East Asian patients have a lower risk for atherothrombotic diseases (especially, Coronary Artery Disease [CAD]) and a higher risk for bleeding (especially, gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke).
Background Young women with coronary artery disease ( CAD ), a group with high psychosocial burden, were previously shown to have higher levels of interleukin-6 ( IL -6) compared with men of similar age.
A case-control study to investigate the association of the 9p21 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs10757274 and rs10757278 (known to be associated with coronary artery disease [CAD] risk) with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), in a Han Chinese population.
Treatment with triple combination of atorvastatin, perindopril, and amlodipine in patients with stable coronary artery disease: A subgroup analysis from the PAPA-CAD study.
Using polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA, VLDL receptor tetranucleotide repeat polymorphism, LRP trinucleotide repeat polymorphism, and LRP exon 3 polymorphism were analyzed in normal adults (control group: n = 161) and in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD group: n = 102).
The variant was significantly associated with obesity and CAD (obesity odds ratio (OR) = 1.54, confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-2.21, p = 0.0009; CHD OR = 1.43, CI = 1.02-2.01, p = 0.004) in Pakistan.
The aim of this study was to present a single-centre registry of STENTYS® stent implantation in 40 selected patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or with stable angina (coronary artery disease [CAD]) treated with this self-expandable stent.
