one of the important factors which should be considered in (coronary artery disease) cad cases is increased carotid intima-media thickness (imt) which has been considered to be associated with coronary artery disease severity and cardiovascular events. the goal of this study was to compare risk factors and carotid imt in cases with cad and healthy subjects and to determine the association betwe...

background: nutrition is among the most important factors influencing coronary artery disease. objectives: here we aimed to study the nutritional status of patients with and without coronary artery disease (cad). patients and methods: we performed a cross-sectional study on 600 patients referred to a cardiology clinic with the signs of acs. the patients were then classified in to two groups (ca...

although coronary artery disease (cad) is not common among individuals younger than 40-45 years of age, a small percentage of this age group needs to undergo surgical revascularization because of cad. why some people are at higher risk of developing premature cad is not clearly known. increased number of traditional risk factors or genetic predisposition may play significant roles in this regar...

background: given gender differences in the risk of coronary artery disease (cad), the present study sought to investigate these dissimilarities amongst patients who underwent angiography at a major, tertiary heart hospital in iran. methods: between 2005 and 2010, 44,820 patients who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled in a registry. pre-procedural data such as demographics, cad risk f...

genome-wide association studies (gwas) have identified genetic variants contributing to the risk of cardiovascular disease (cvd) at the chromosome 9p21 locus. the chromosome 9p21 is an important susceptibility locus for several multifactorial diseases like ischemic stroke, aortic aneurysm, type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (cad). f7 gene because of its role in activating the ...

Objective(s):  Coronary artery disease (CAD) which may lead to myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex one. Great effort has been devoted to identification of genes that increase susceptibility to CAD or provide protection. A 21-bp deletion in the MEF2A gene, which encodes a member of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 family of transcription factors, has been reported in patients of a single pedigr...

Animal cells possess thousands of long non-coding (lnc) RNAs, such as antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) , which have regulatory roles in the cells’ molecular mechanisms, including X-chromosome inactivation, and developmental processes.  These lnc RNAs are known to influence the extensive spectrum of age-related disorders. Accordingly, there is evidence for the role of...
