Relationship between Myocardial Performance Index and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its incidence has been gradually increasing. CAD is a progressive inflammatory disease in which atherosclerosis plays a major role in its etiology [1]. The SYNTAX score (SS) is a lesion-based angiographic scoring system originally devised to grade the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is able to aid revascularization decisions and predict mortality and morbidity in patients with CAD [2,3].

متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scan accuracy in detection of coronary artery disease - Comparison with exercise stress test [Persian]
Introduction: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) noninvasive evaluation for detection of ischemia is important to avoid invasive interventions like angiography. Exercise stress test is conventionally the first study used in evaluation of CAD. Considering the noninvasive nature of the myocardial perfusion scan, we decided to compare its accuracy with stress test. Methods: Patie...

This study evaluated the relationship between the location of the most severe coronary artery stenosis and the subsequent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Of 1590 patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of AMI, we identified 44 patients who had undergone previous myocardial perfusion SPECT. Thirty-one of these patients also had previous coronary angiography. The relationshi...

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) refers to the reduction or blockage of all or part of the coronary arteries due to the process of atherosclerosis or the presence of a clot. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of serum miR-197 as a diagnostic index in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: In this study, 100 patients with CAD were selected. Extraction of...

Background: Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between higher body iron stores and coronary artery disease. It is believed that inflammation and oxidation are important mechanisms involved in the complex pathological process of atherogenesis. Free radical production is catalyzed and accelerated in the presence of iron. The determination of plasma ferritin levels is a convenie...
