We present a case of Wellens' syndrome together with upright T wave in lead V(1) in a man presenting with atypical chest pain, and we discuss the significance of its prompt recognition by the emergency physicians who are involved in the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease in emergency departments.

Platelets play an important role in inflammatory process by interacting with monocytes and neutrophils. In this study, we investigated the effect of tirofiban on the levels of cell adhesion molecules (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, sICAM-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, sVCAM-1) in patients with unstable angina pectoris (AP).

This approach, however, may increase the risk of insertion site related complications, such as arterial bleeding, haematoma, pseudoaneurysm, and the need for surgical repair.
Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of ambulation of patients six hours after elective coronary angioplasty or stenting, or both.
Background: Elevated tumor marker levels have been reported in heart failure patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and enlargement. The levels of several tumor markers, including CA 125, CA 19-9, CA 15-3 and CEA, in rheumatic mitral stenotic patients were compared to the control group.
Materials And Methods: Tumor markers were measured in 60 mitral stenotic patients and in 30 normal subjects who served as the control group.
