Background:Recent studies have revealed the benefits of using colchicine, a drug with anti-inflammatory properties, in coronary artery disease (CAD). This study systematically reviewed and risks low-dose colchicine patients CAD.

conclusions the pattern and number of vessels involved were similar in both groups. based on common prevalence of traditional risk factors among two groups, planning for lifestyle changes is recommended. results of the 112 patients, 51 (45.5%) were in group a and 61 (54.5%) were in group b with mean age of 37.6 ± 4.4 and 63 ± 8.5, respectively. no significant statistical differences were found ...

objective(s): apolipoprotein e genotype (apoe) polymorphism affects lipid levels and coronary artery disease (cad) risk. the aim of this study was to study the association of the apolipoprotein e genotypes with coronary artery disease in the iranian population.   materials and methods: the apolipoprotein e genotype in dna samples extracted from 66 cad+ patients and 61 control subjects by restri...

To evaluate the correlation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and coronary artery disease (CAD), one-hundred patients with CAD and the same number of healthy individuals as a control group were randomly selected and studied for anti-CMV using ELISA method. Ninety percent of patients and 77 percent of the control group were anti-CMV positive and statistical analysis showed a significant correlation ...

Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial problem. Although hyperlipidemia (HLP), diabetes (DM), and hypertension (HTN) are known as the familial and cardiac risk factors, CABG is rare in the several members of a family. We reported the six members of a family who presented with MI and/or advanced angina pectoris during the 6 years. CABG(Coronary artery bypass graft) considere...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart progression once major coronary arteries are injured or diseased. When primary blood which supply myocardium with blood, oxygen and nutrients narrowed arterial progresses. Plaque buildup in walls from hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), dyslipidemia, vascular inflammation contribute to atherosclerosis formation, a agent for CAD.

conclusions despite higher rate of morbidities in opium-addicted patients compared to non-addicted ones, subscales of qol were similar between the two groups. high preoperative hba1c and low ejection fraction appeared to be determinants of poor qol in the opium-addicted patients. background opium is a unique substance, regarding its analgesic effects. this may change the deteriorating effects o...

oxidation of low density lipoprotein (ldl) particles plays a key role in the etiology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (cad). oxidative stress enhances the likelihood of ldl oxidation and atherosclerotic plaque development. paraoxonase (poni) is an enzyme associated with hdl that metabolizes organophosphates and has antioxidant activity. in order to investigate the relationship be...
