MicroRNAs have been demonstrated to be involved in human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Growing evidences suggest that microRNA-155, a typical multifunctional microRNA, plays a crucial role in hematopoietic lineage differentiation, immunity, inflammation, viral infections, and vascular remodeling, which is linked to cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, abdomina...

INTRODUCTION Coronary heart disease and its etiology are complex socio-medical and clinical problem in this century. World Health Organization defined coronary artery disease as acute and chronic heart ailments due to disruption of flow and myocardial blood supply. Diseases of the cardiovascular system in spite of preventable risk factors are responsible for approximately 50% of all deaths in t...

During the second part of the twentieth century, research advances caused a substantial decline in the rate of coronary heart disease. The decline lasted from the mid-1960s until the early 1990s and occurred primarily in Western countries. However, an unfavourable trend in coronary heart disease related mortality has gradually developed during the 1990s, with cardiovascular diseases anticipated...

ebstein's anomaly is defined as the significant apical displacement of the tricuspid valve causing tricuspid regurgitation. although a variety of concomitant lesions have been previously described, we herein introduce an unusual presentation.  our patient was an 86-year-old man with a primary presentation of typical chest pain in the setting of recently diagnosed coronary artery disease with co...

certain benefits are clearly associated with the use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) as compared with the on-pump cabg. the superiority is more evident in patients with multiple co morbidities including renal failure.we reviewed the medical records of a 67-year-old male with a past medical history that was significant for multiple cardiovascular diseases and new-onset end-sta...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a universal health problem that defined the situations impact on heart or blood vessels, it is related to overgrowth and accumulation of fatty deposits within lumen arteries which might lead formation clots (cardiovascular disease, 2018). Also, CVD can be described as group vascular disorders include coronary artery peripheral deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary em...

Fetal heart failure and hydrops fetalis may occur due to systemic arteriovenous fistula because of increased cardiac output. Arteriovenous fistula of the central nervous system, liver, bone or vascular tumors such as sacrococcygeal teratoma were previously reported to be causes of intrauterine heart failure. However, coronary arteriovenous fistula was not reported as a cause of fetal heart fail...
