Background and Purpose: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the major cause of limitation in adults' life. But it can be prevented by controlling its risk factors, modifying life style and educating the population about general health. Besides, health education is one of the important issues about changing life style. Nurses play an important role in health education .Thus this study was perform...

background: the study of the association between genotype and phenotype is of great importance for the prediction of many diseases and pathophysiological conditions. the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene insertion/ deletion (i/d) polymorphism and pathological processes such as coronary artery disease (cad) has been investigated previously with discordant results. thi...

conclusions the coronary sinus flow per minute is the most accurate parameter among the three echocardiographic parameters mentioned above for the assessment of significant stenosis of the coronary artery. results flow (ml/minute), flow/lvm (ml/minuteg) and lv (d-s) mass a-l all correlated significantly with the percentage of stenosis (r = -0.64, p < 0.001; r = -0.47, p < 0.001; r = -0.56, p < ...

Aim Investigation the frequency and contribution of coronary artery aneurysm/ectasia in addition to their correlation with coronary artery disease (CAD). Material and methods We retrospectively evaluated the coronary angiography records of 6500 adult consecutive patients, and 418 of them were met inclusion criteria and used in the present study. The CAD was defined as the presence of angiogra...

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 abl...

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus can influence coronary artery disease (CAD) independently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and CAD in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM). Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study evaluated 3624 T2DM patients with clinical presentation of CAD whose documents were registe...

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a useful non-invasive radiation-free modality for the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). CMR cine provides “gold standard” assessment ventricular function, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) data diagnosis and extent myocardial scar viability, while stress an established technique detection perfusion defects indicating ischemia....

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the high risk factors and coronary lesion features in premenopausal women with coronary artery disease (CAD) and provide guideline for diagnosis and therapy. METHODS 114 premenopausal women and 134 postmenopausal women were conducted coronary angiography in our hospital from September, 2012 to September, 2014. According to the results of coronary...
