Assessment of the Dimensions of Coronary Arteries for the Manifestation of Coronary Artery Disease.

Introduction: The size of the coronary artery influences the effective outcome of therapeutic measures like coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), and diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Patients' age, gender, BMI, anatomical variations, and increased left ventricular size all have an effect on coronary artery parameters.

Objective: This study aims to compare the average size of the coronary arteries of the Pakistani population in both sexes for manifestation of coronary artery disease.

Patterns of Dyslipidemia Among Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Patients at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan.

Introduction: Dyslipidemia refers to the presence of abnormalities in lipid parameters. It has become a global issue with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The aim of the investigation was to find out the pattern and prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Efficacy of Whole-Blood Del Nido Cardioplegia Compared with Diluted Del Nido Cardioplegia in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Retrospective Monocentric Analysis of Pakistan.

: Cardioplegia is one of the most significant components used to protect the myocardium during cardiac surgery. There is a paucity of evidence regarding the utilization of whole-blood Del Nido cardioplegia (WB-DNC) on clinical outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The purpose of this retrospective cross-sectional study is to compare the effectiveness of diluted (blood to crystalloid; 1:4) Del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) with WB-DNC in patients who underwent elective CABG in a tertiary care hospital in Lahore-Pakistan.

Neurological outcome after coronary artery bypass surgery.

Background: Neurological dysfunction is a common complication after cardiac surgery. Despite significant advances in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technology, surgical techniques and anaesthetic management, central nervous system complications occur in a large number of patients undergoing surgery requiring CPB. The objective of this study was to determine neurocognitive status of the patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to find any causative or associated factor.

Acute renal failure after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

Background: Acute renal failure (urine output <0.5 ml/kg/hr.) following cardiopulmonary bypass is an uncommon but highly lethal complication which arises in the setting of inadequate cardiac function and may be associated with multi-organ failure.
