Materials Methods: The data collected from Radiology department Shifa International hospital Sixty patients (40-80 years age) were assessed through evaluate heart disease. Data by using a close-ended self-modi...

The registry contains information collected during 2003 from thirteen Spanish hospitals on the incidence, clinical presentation, initial course, diagnostic imaging, and treatment of anomalous coronary arteries originating in the contralateral coronary sinus. In a total of 23,300 coronary angiograms, 98 anomalous coronary arteries were detected (incidence 0.4%): 46 circumflex coronary arteries (...

We conducted a systematic review of the literature that has examined carotid arteries using ultrasonography in order to better explain association between diabetes, hypertension, and intima-media thickness (IMT). The goal this study was also get precise evaluation increasing predictive value for clinical cardiovascular outcomes. From 2000 through 2021, we searched Google Scholar, NCBI, PubMed, ...

Patients underwent multi-stage surgical treatment. The first stage performed endovascular left internal artery, second — myocardial revascularization, third iliac arteries, fourth rotational atherectomy stenting right superficial femor...

Woven coronary artery disease is a rare congenital malformation characterized by dividing coronary arteries into thin channels, which then join distally (1). This morphology has been previously described in both right and left coronary arteries and may be associated with acute coronary syndromes. Probably most of these anomalies are misdiagnosed by many clinicians. We report a case of right wov...

Intercoronary communications between normal distal coronary arteries and obstructed coronary arteries are rare findings on coronary angiography. The clinical significance of these communications is uncertain. In this article, we describe a series of cases demonstrating communications between different coronary arteries in the absence as well as presence of obstructive coronary artery disease. T...

background non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is a growing diagnosed condition which causes a wide spectrum of liver disorders. there is a lot of evidence introducing nafld as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (cad) but there is substantial challenge on the independency of this correlation. conclusions according to the results of the current study, the prevalence of nafld among t...

The coronary arteries have been regarded as end arteries for decades. However, there are functionally relevant anastomotic vessels, known as collateral arteries, which interconnect epicardial coronary arteries. These vessels provide an alternative source of blood supply to the myocardium in cases of occlusive coronary artery disease. The relevance of these collateral arteries is a matter of ong...
