National interventional council data for the year 2018-India.

Objective: The National interventional Council of Cardiological Society of India (CSI-NIC) is the society representing all the practising interventional cardiologists across country. Every year National interventional council collects the data of coronary and non-coronary interventions across all the cath labs in the country and data will be presented at annual meet. This Data will show the burden of disease, number of interventions and adaption of various newer procedures from various centers across India.

Genetic determinants of clinical heterogeneity of the coronary artery disease in the population of Hyderabad, India.

Background: Genetic predisposition to the clinical categories of coronary artery disease (anatomical viz., insignificant, single, double, and triple vessel diseases and phenotypic severity categories viz., angina, acute coronary syndrome, and myocardial infarction) is poorly understood.

Vascular Disease in Young Indians (20-40 years): Role of Dyslipidemia.

Dyslipidemia is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Atherosclerosis begins early in life as suggested by "fatty streaks" observed in coronaries of healthy organ donors aged 20-29 years. Premature occurrence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Indians, increases the risk for young individuals.

Distinct Patterns of Association of Variants at 11q23.3 Chromosomal Region with Coronary Artery Disease and Dyslipidemia in the Population of Andhra Pradesh, India.

In our attempt to comprehensively understand the nature of association of variants at 11q23.3 apolipoprotein gene cluster region, we genotyped a prioritized set of 96 informative SNPs using Fluidigm customized SNP genotyping platform in a sample of 508 coronary artery disease (CAD) cases and 516 controls. We found 12 SNPs as significantly associated with CAD at P <0.

Endovascular stenting of the obstructed vertical vein in a neonate with supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return.

A newborn baby presented with respiratory distress, cyanosis and shock within 2 hours of birth. The cardiac evaluation showed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return with critically obstructed vertical vein. The baby underwent successful stenting of the vertical vein at 12 hours of life.
