Objectives: This study was designed to compare the level of sense of coherence in hypertensive patients with arterial stiffness or leftventricular hypertrophy and in hypertensive individuals without such health complications.
Methods: The study group consisted of 93 participants. All of them were asked to undergo the following procedures: clinical assessment, echocardiography (to diagnose hypertensive cardiac damage), pulse wave velocity measurement (to assess vascular damage) and psychological testing (to measure their level of comprehensibility, manageability, meaningfulness, and sense of coherence).
Introduction: The extent of peripheral artery disease (PAD) measured by the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and intima-media thickness (IMT) is correlated with the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in stable angina patients. However, data regarding patients with acute coronary syndromes are still lacking.
Aim: To compare coronary complexity measured by the SYNTAX score in patients with and without PAD presenting with myocardial infarction (MI).
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess cardiological manifestations of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Background/introduction: Carbon monoxide intoxication is one of the most important toxicological causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early clinical manifestation of CO poisoning is cardiotoxicity.
