OBJECTIVE Circulating microRNAs have been recognized as promising biomarkers for various diseases. The present study aimed to explore the potential roles of circulating miR-149, miR-424 and miR-765 as non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in middle-aged (40-60-year-old) patients. METHODS Sixty-five stable coronary artery disease patients (49-57 years old), 30 un...

Background and Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common diseases today. Among the diagnostic methods, angiography is the main and gold standard in the diagnosis Since angiography is an invasive procedure, this procedure complications range widely from minor problems with short term sequelae to life threatening ones may cause irreversible damage or even death. Materials...

Oxidative stress is well known to be involved in the pathogenesis of lifestyle-related diseases, including, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery diseases, and malignancies. However, oxidative stress also has a useful role in physiologic adaptation and in the regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Therefore, a significant description of oxidative stress may be “a condition ...

an association between chlamydia pneumoniae (c. pneumoniae) and cardiovascular disease has been demonstrated. in this study, we aimed to study this potential relationship in 105 iranian patients. coronary artery specimens from 105 iranian patients undergoing cabg were analyzed by pcr method for c. pneumoniae. serological evaluation for c. pneumoniae igg and igm was performed using elisa. 53 spe...

Introduction: Although left anterior descending (LAD) artery supplies a large portion of the myocardium, the amount of blood supply provided by LAD is depended on the length of the LAD. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the association between coronary artery dominance and LAD anatomic types in patients with normal epicardial coronary arteries. Methods:...

The volume information extracted from computed tomography angiogram is very useful for cardiologists to diagnose various diseases. An approach is presented to segment human coronary artery trees from the volumetric datasets. The coronary arteries’ surfaces are recovered by triangle mesh with the boundary points extracted from the coronary artery voxels segmented. The positions where the calcifi...

osteogenesis imperfecta (oi) as an inherited connective tissue disorder can affect all tissues that contains type i collagen. well-known cardiac complications of this disease such as aortic root dilatation, aortic regurgitation and mitral valve prolapse have been rarely reported in the literature. coronary artery aneurysm is a rare cardiac complication in oi, as reported in a 19 year old female...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is known to occur in individuals with diverse diseases. Each disease state has a specific etiology and pathophysiology, and is diagnosed and treated differently. Etiologies for SCD include cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, congenital coronary artery anomalies, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, dilated cardiomyopathy, ...
