Silent embolic cerebral infarction (SECI) is a major complication of coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent CAG with or without PCI were recruited. Cerebral diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was performed for SECI within 24 hours. Clinical and angiographic characteristics were compared...

spontaneous coronary artery dissection (scad) is a rare and important cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. various etiologies are thought to be responsible for this condition, among which underlying atherosclerosis seems to be the most common. scad is predominant in women and is usually diagnosed via coronary artery angiography. therapeutic interventions include medical th...

Objective: The diameter of coronary arteries varies greatly among general population. knowledge variations in helps the clinicians to define abnormalities and plan treatment. Hence, present study was aimed common primary by angiography Indian Methods: data for this unicenter, retrospective, observational collected from hospital, Maharashtra, as patient sheets angiograms (CAG) reports a period 1...

This study aimed to assess the angiographic correlation between coronary artery stenosis and internal iliac-internal pudendal (II-IPA) evaluate its association with erectile dysfunction (ED). We reviewed data of 91 patients who had undergone pelvic angiography (PA) II-IPA (CAG) due suspected disease. Erectile function (EF) was evaluated using International Index Function before CAG PA. performe...

background there is an increasing trend in the prevalence of coronary artery disease (cad) in iran. objectives the present study aimed to investigate the relationship of anxiety, depression, diabetes and coronary artery disease among patients undergoing angiography in ghaem hospital, mashhad, iran. patients and methods this case-control study was conducted between september 2011 and august 2012...

This study examined the application of 64-slice spiral double-low computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the degree of coronary artery stenosis. We examined 45 patients with coronary heart disease by 64-slice spiral double-low CT and coronary angiography (CAG) to determine CT accuracy in evaluating coronary artery stenosis. Imaging analysis from 64-slice spiral double-low CT identified 199 segmen...

Background. Improving methods of coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis involves determining the most informative and less expensive methods. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is now widely used for early myocardial ischemia diagnosis, allowing better verification ambivalent results angiography (CAG).
 The aim. To develop algorithmic approaches to CAD through combined use STE CAG in...

UNLABELLED Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) is a reasonable test for patients with the possibility of atherosclerosis. It can also be used for reclassifying the coronary artery disease (CAD) to the high-risk status by higher CACS and subsequently modifying the management of the patients.The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of CACS to the severity of coronary artery...

: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is characterized by abnormal communication between the main coronary and cardiac chambers, pulmonary arteries, vena cava, systemic arteries veins, a rare malformation. Bronchiectasis involves remodeling persistent dilatation of bronchial airways. It can either be localized to one lung segment or diffused throughout whole lung. The incidence bronchiectasis has inc...

conclusions coronary artery aneurysm should be a differential diagnosis in cases of mediastinal cyst and mass lesion. case presentation a 32-year-old woman presented with edema of the upper and lower limbs, palpitation, and chest pain, and was diagnosed with a giant right coronary artery aneurysm that had initially mimicked a mediastinal cyst. although computed tomography (ct) suggested a media...
