Hypoalbuminemia as a Predictor for Complications Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Background and purpose: There is little information about the prognostic role of preoperative serum albumin levels in postoperative outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of this study was to evaluate preoperative hypoalbuminemia as a predictor for complications after CABG. Materials and methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in 200 patients und...
متن کاملPhysiological severity of coronary artery stenosis.
THREE FUNDAMENTAL ADVANCES in our knowledge underlie the rapidly evolving long-term treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), summarized briefly here for perspective on the paper by Marques and colleagues (17) in this issue of American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, on quantifying severity of coronary artery stenoses by their pressure-flow velocity relation. The first...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium outperforms carotid artery intima-media thickness as a noninvasive index of prevalent coronary artery stenosis.
OBJECTIVE Increased carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and increased coronary artery calcium (CAC) are noninvasive surrogate indices of prevalent coronary artery disease (CAD). We compared CAC to IMT for noninvasive detection of prevalent CAD in participants whose coronary status was identified by coronary angiography. METHODS AND RESULTS Male and female CAD patients (> or =50% steno...
متن کاملThe relationship between clinical parameters and lifestyle variables among patients with severity of coronary artery stenosis: A cross-sectional analysis based on the severity of coronary artery stenosis
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death all over the world. Lifestyle can have an important role not only in reducing risk factors but also in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between clinical parameters and various aspects of patients' lifestyles according to the severity of their coronary...
