Calprotectin Correlates with Reduced Level of LVEF and Occurrence of Cardiac Arrhythmia in STEMI Patients.

Background: Calprotectin is recognized as a promising prognostic as well as a diagnostic marker of cardiac disorders. In the present study, we aimed to survey the efficiency of serum calprotectin levels in anticipating the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) along with in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) underlying primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Materials And Methods: A total of 97 patients with STEMI participated and were evaluated for in-hospital MACE for possible correlation with serum calprotectin.

The Role of Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Pathogenesis of Cardiotoxicity: Diagnostic & Prognostic Approach.

Cancer is one of the diseases, which it is not still completely curable; the existing treatments are associated with many complications, that double its complexity. One of the causes of cancer cell metastasis is Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). Recently study demonstrated that EMT cause cardiotoxicity and heart diseases such as heart failure, hypertrophy and fibrosis.
