background coronary artery disease is the single most important cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients. electrocardiographic stress test is a non-invasive modality to screen significant coronary involvement in minimally symptomatic diabetics. objectives we investigated the positive predictive value (ppv) of this test in comparison with coronary angiography. materials and methods ...

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.

Coronary artery anomalies are often discovered incidentally during cardiac catheterization or computed tomography coronary angiography and may involve the affected coronary artery origin and its course. Coronary artery anomalies are associated with congenital heart disease. The affected coronary arteries may have an unusual high take off origin, origin from contralateral or non-coronary sinus, ...

cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of human morbidity and mortality despite significant therapeutic improvements by surgical or pharmacological approaches in the last decade. micrornas (mirnas) have a significant role in diseases development or response to treatment. in this review, we summarized the role of mirnas in the pathogenesis or the treatment of coronary artery disease ...
