Background: The limited availability of complex coronary intervention facilities and qualified operators, due to the high cost associated with chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous intervention (PCI) equipment and a shortage of necessary skills, has led to a scarcity of capable medical centers in Pakistan. This study seeks to examine the outcomes and potential complications associated with CTO PCI procedures conducted at the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories of a prominent national institute in Pakistan, which handles a large volume of cases.
Results: Three hundred and six patients were included in the study in the study period of six months.
Background We hypothesize that neck circumference (NC) is a better predictor of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) compared to the waist-hip ratio (WHR) in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The objective of this study is to investigate the association between NC and WHR with AMI and determine whether NC is a superior predictor of AMI in ACS patients compared to WHR. Methods This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology at the Medical Teaching Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar.

A diagnostic dilemma with an overlap of differentials and step-wise management that starts with conservative therapies and goes up to repeated surgeries in case of failure of the conservative approach.
Objective: This study aims to observe clinical, endoscopic, and histological features of SRUS in patients presenting with lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery disease, a leading cause of death globally and in Pakistan, particularly affects individuals with diabetes, prompting a study on long-term outcomes of those undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
- The study included 200 patients with stable ischemic heart disease, comparing outcomes between diabetic and non-diabetic patients over one year after PCI, focusing on major events like death and revascularization.
- Despite some differences in characteristics and complications, the study found that both groups had favorable in-hospital and long-term outcomes, indicating PCI's effectiveness regardless of diabetes status.
Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity among developing and developed countries. Hypertensive Retinopathy is a micro vascular complication of long standing hypertension while CAD is a macro vascular complication. The main objective of the study was to determine the association between worsening grade of hypertensive retinopathy with angiographic severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) measured by Syntax Score.

Study Design: A cohort study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Cardiology Unit, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from June 2016 to December 2017.
