[ 1 ] - Carotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
[ 2 ] - Cardiac Complication Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Besides its severe neurological injuries, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) commonly causes cardiac complications. These complications could include three different aspects of cardiac diseases, that is, electrocardiographic abnormalities, myocardial injuries, and left ventricular dysfunction. These complications not only may lead to misdiagnosis of SAH as myocardial infarction, but also...
[ 3 ] - Immediate Results of Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty in Patients with Mitral Stenosis
Introduction: Mitral stenosis is a prevalent valvular disease in developing countries. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the gold standard treatment. The main objective of this study was to assess the initial results of PMBV in patients with mitral stenosis during 16 years (2002-2018) in Mashhad, Iran. Materials and Methods: From April 2002 to March 2018, 770 patients underwen...
[ 4 ] - CYP2C19 Genetic Polymorphism in the East of Iran: Its Association with the Severity and Pattern of Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: Since there has been a dearth of research on the assessment of CYP2C19 polymorphism in the east of Iran (Khorasan provinces), this study aimed to detect, CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 allele frequencies among patients with coronary artery disease. The participants were selected among those referring to Emam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. Furthermore, the current research was motivated to...

مقدمه آترواسکلروزیس یکی از عوامل شایع مرگ و میر در کشورهای پیشرفته و در حال توسعه بوده و التهاب مزمن از عوامل خطر در بیماری آترواسکلروزیس میباشد. هدف از پژوهش حاضر، بررسی تاثیر آلودگی به HTLV-1 بر حضور یا عدم حضور و وسعت بیماری آترواسکلروزیس در منطقه اندمیک ابتلا به HTLV-1 میباشد. روش کار در این مطالعه از ۵۰ نفر در۴ گروه شامل، ۱۴ بیمار CAD+H...
[ 6 ] - Effects of Rivaroxaban on Coagulation Assays in Patients with Small Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis in Relation to Body Mass Index
Introduction: Rivaroxaban is a new anticoagulant medication for pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). There are limited data on the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban. This study aimed to assess the effect of rivaroxaban on coagulation assays in relation to BMI in PTE and DVT patients. Materials and Met...
[ 7 ] - High proviral load of human T cell lymphotropic virus type-1 facilitates coronary artery diseases
Objective(s): Coronary artery disease (CAD) is known as a life threatening disease, worldwide. In this study the role of HTLV-1 infection was evaluated on cardiac involvement in an endemic region of northeastern Iran.Materials and Methods: Serologic and molecular tests for HTLV-1 infection were carried out in subjects who had coronary an...
