background: systolic blood pressure recovery (rsbp) is of prognostic value for predicting the survival and co-morbidity rate in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). this study investigated the association between rsbp and exercise indices after complete cardiac rehabilitation program (cr) in a population-based sample of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). methods...

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly, but is associated with sudden death. Originating from the opposite sinus of Valsalva, an interarterial course and an intramural course are especially considered as the risk factor for fatal cardiac events. Surgical indication remains controversial because many patients are asymptomatic. A 52-year-old man with anomalous ...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of sudden cardiac death and acute syndrome, mainly affects young female. Treatment this condition depends on the clinical features, hemodynamic angiographic findings patient, but due to rarity disease, guideline support was insufficient until last period. Depending patient blood flow, medical observation, percutaneous intervention or bypass...

background and objectives: in spite of large number of studies conducted so far, sudden cardiac death remains an enigma and relative importance of acute coronary events as a trigger of sudden death is currently unclear. an autopsy study of heart was therefore planned to observe various histomorphological cardiac changes, and to determine the frequency association of acute coronary events and my...

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....

Coronary artery disease affects more than 385000 persons annually and continues to be a leading cause of death in the United States. Recently, the number of available noninvasive cardiac diagnostic tests has increased substantially. Nurses should be knowledgeable about available noninvasive cardiac diagnostic testing. The common noninvasive cardiac diagnostic testing procedures used to diagnose...

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although coronary angiography is currently a gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease, some patients are of concern regarding small but not negligible risk of complications and discomfort of the procedure. In recent years, cardiac computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) is an attractive non-invas...

Despite major progress in detection, prevention, and treatment, coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of death in the world. More than half of all coronary deaths are sudden and unexpected, occurring within 6 hours of the onset of symptoms and usually outside the hospital. Coronary artery disease is by far the most common pathology underlying the 300 000 cases of sudden cardiac deat...

It is usually concluded that postmenopausal women have an increased incidence of coronarny artery disease. In this study, it was investigated whether there alteration in cardiac function natural women. The subjects were 41 who had no history about disease, 21 whom women(the experimental group), and 20 premenopausal (control group). Physical examination Electrocardiogram these normal. Left ventr...
