Effect of Statins on the Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.

 Atherosclerosis mediated by inflammatory markers is the corner stone in the pathology of coronary artery disease (CAD). Hyperlipidemia, one of the risk factors is treated with statins. Statins also have a pleotropic role in reducing inflammation.

Thrombolysis Through Punctured Coronary Balloon and 014 Wire Mediated Guitaring After IVC Filter Insertion in Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Unlabelled: This is a report of a patient who presented with iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis, and was treated with pharmaco-invasive and pharmaco-mechanic methods using coronary balloon and mechanical disruption of clots with coronary 014 wire. A 65-year-old male presented with acute deep vein thrombosis extending from the left common iliac to the popliteal vein. The patient had significant swelling and pain.

Association of Serum Pentraxin 3 and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein with Severity of Coronary Stenosis.

Background: Atherosclerosis being the keystone in the pathology of coronary artery disease (CAD) is a chronic inflammation of arterial intima mediated by various inflammatory markers. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are the two important biomarkers of chronic inflammation that causes atherosclerosis.

Aims: This study aims to investigate the association of serum PTX3 and hs-CRP with the severity of coronary stenosis in patients undergoing coronary angiogram.

Cardiovascular risk using WHO-ISH chart among Diabetes and Hypertensive patients in a remote rural area of South India.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major problems in India and many other developing and developed countries. As India is committed to provide universal health care for the population, there is a need to find out the prevalence and determinants of CVD risk among high-risk individuals (Diabetes and Hypertensive patients) in the remote rural area of India to deliver appropriate services, as they are considered as neglected population.

Methods: We screened high-risk individuals (Hypertension and Diabetes patients) for CVD risk using WHO/ISH chart, in a remote rural area of south India, covering ten villages surrounding the Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC), in August-September 2017.

Considering Interim Interventions to Control COVID-19 Associated Morbidity and Mortality-Perspectives.

The pandemic of COVID-19 is evolving worldwide, and it is associated with high mortality and morbidity. There is a growing need to discuss the elements of a coordinated strategy to control the spread and mitigate the severity of COVID-19. H1N1 and vaccines are available.
