Background: Sudden cardiac death and arrhythmia accounts for 15 – 20% of all deaths. Though Coronaryartery disease is the major cause sudden deaths, diagnosis other underlying causes necessary. Hence weintended to analyze various related deaths associated histopathologicalfindings heart.Methods: Present study was an autopsy based cross sectional observational conducted at MaduraiMedical College...

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is recognized as the major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Coronary artery interventions are considered the best therapeutic choice for most patients. Similar to other invasive procedures, these interventions whether performed from femoral or upper extremities have their own complications. There is a paucity of studies reg...

A BSTRACT Background Patients with coronary heart disease, left ventricular dysfunction, and abnormalities on signal-averaged electrocardiograms have an increased risk of sudden death. We evaluated the effect on survival of the prophylactic implantation of cardioverter– defibrillators in such patients at the time of coronaryartery bypass surgery. Methods Over the course of five years, 37 clinic...

Patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease are considered at highest-risk of adverse cardiovascular events and mortality within the broad range of risk for patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). On the basis of several clinical and anatomic characteristics and patient/physician preference, individual patients with ULMCA disease might be treated with pe...

Segmentation and quantification of stenosis is an important task in assessing coronary artery disease. One of the main challenges is measuring the real diameter of curved vessels. Moreover, uncertainty in segmentation of different tissues in the narrow vessel is an important issue that affects accuracy. This paper proposes an algorithm to extract coronary arteries and measure the degree of sten...

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from a high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) [1]. This is partly due to progressive deterioration of calciumephosphate homeostasis. Although the molecular mechanism of action of Klotho is not well understood, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and its coreceptor Klotho have emerged as pivotal players in calciumephosphate homeostasis. Klo...
