[ 1 ] - Lack of association between coding region of KCNE2 gene and the congenital long QT syndrome in an Iranian population

Introduction: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac disorder characterized by QT interval prolongation at basal ECG. Different LQTS genes encode ion channel subunits or proteins involved in regulating cardiac ionic currents. Long QT syndrome type 6 (LQT6) is caused by mutation in the KCNE2 gene. Our research aimed to analyze genetic variants of KCNE2 gene causing the disease in Irania...

[ 2 ] - 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...
