Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention in one-year follow-up study.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most common revascularization procedure, with over 1 million performed each year, worldwide. Over the past 20 years, the increasing experience of operators coupled with the advent of newer technologies, including coronary stents and a variety of adjuvant drug therapies, have permitted more successful procedures and decreased the morbidity associated with PCIs.

Objective: To identify the incidence, predictors, and clinical implications of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) after PCIs.

Factors Associated With Pre-hospital Delay in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is time related, so delay in treatment could affect prognosis. Recognizing pre-hospital or in-hospital delays in initiating treatment and reducing these factors is very efficacious in treatment of these patients.

Objectives: The aim of this study is evaluate the causes of pre-hospital delay just as other studies on effect of different variables such as socioeconomic and personal factors on pre-hospital delay in with patients with AMI.

Immediate results and six-month outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in a referral heart center in Isfahan, Iran.

Background: There is a lack of data in our society on the outcomes, complications, and prognostic factors in patients with coronary artery disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated the success rate, early and late outcomes, and prognostic factors in a referral university center in Isfahan, IRAN.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in Chamran University Hospital in Isfahan (IRAN) from March 2010 to February 2011.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus of valsalva and sever mitral stenosis.

Congenital coronary anomalies are presented in approximately1% of patient referred for cardiac catheterization. Among the congenital coronary anomalies, a separated anomalous origin of all the coronary arteries from the right sinus of valsalva is very uncommon. We report a rare occurance of simultaneous occurence of mitral stenosis with ectopic origin of left main stem coronary artery from right sinus of Valsalva.
