The review presents an analysis of the scientific literature on comorbidity coronary artery disease (CAD) and assessment its impact results bypass grafting (CABG). Arterial hypertension (AH), chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD), metabolic syndrome (MS), diabetes mellitus (DM) have been shown to be most common comorbidities in CAD patients. Clinical manifestations cardiovascular also include at...

A 71-year-old male presented with atypical chest pain and dilatation of the right ventricle on echocardiography and was referred for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) for suspected arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. CMR showed marked posterior and leftward displacement of the heart, with the apex extending to the left lateral chest wall. Spin echo imaging showed thin perica...

Coronary heart disease is frequently associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and treating obstructive sleep apnea appears to significantly improve the outcome in coronary heart disease. Thus we have developed a rat model of chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH) to study the influence of this condition on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion tolerance and on functional vascular reactivity. Wista...

Ten patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome underwent cardiac catheterization to assess the effectiveness of palliative surgery designed to prepare them for a modified Fontan procedure. The objectives of palliation were to establish unobstructed systemic blood flow, normalize pulmonary blood flow and pressure, and relieve pulmonary venous obstruction. In the first four patients, systemic ...

  Introduction: Aortic valve sclerosisis considered as a manifestation of coronary atherosclerosis. Recent studies demonstrated an association between aortic valve sclerosis and obstructive coronary artery disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluatethe correlation betweenaortic valve sclerosis andobstructive coronary artery disease and the extent of coronary artery disease in patients ho...

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is associated with a chronic inflammatory response in airways and lung parenchyma that results in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. cigarette smoking considered as an important risk factor plays a role in pathogenesis of disease. pneumocystis jirovecii is an atypical opportunistic fungus that causes pneumonia in immunosuppressed host, al...

Transposition of the great vessels, a common cyanotic congenital anomaly, accounts for ≈5% of all congenital heart disease. In this anomaly, the systemic veins return normally to the right atrium and the pulmonary veins return to the left atrium. The connections between the atria and ventricles are also normal (atrioventricular concordance). The aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pul...

Chronic pulmonary hypertension in humans is characterized by shortening of the pulmonary artery acceleration time as measured by Doppler echocardiography, such that the higher the pulmonary artery pressure, the shorter the pulmonary acceleration time. Increases in heart rate are also known to produce decreases in the pulmonary artery acceleration time. To explore the relationship between mean p...

Right heart catheterization remains necessary for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and, therefore, prognostic evaluation patients with chronic failure. The non-invaSive Assessment Pulmonary vasculoPathy in Heart failure (SAPPHIRE) study was designed to assess feasibility and relevance a non-invasive artery vasculature hypertension. Patients will undergo right catheterization, cardiac res...
