background: dyslipidemia is considered an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (chd). in the present study, we examined lipid profiles and paraoxonase 1 (pon1) activity and atherogenic indexes status and the relationship of pon1 activity by high-density lipoprotein (hdl) and atherogenic indexes in chd patients and healthy people. methods: the aim of the study was to compare pon1, ...

introduction: an attack of acute myocardial infarction (mi) poses the threat of great damage to cardiac tissue. operative therapeutic modalities such as coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) may enhance myocardial perfusion in high-grade coronary vasculature occlusions. it has been shown previously that low-level laser therapy (lllt) significantly reduces infarct size following induction of my...
