Relationship between thiol, disulphide volume and contrast-induced nephropathy in acute coronary syndrome patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate thiol disulphide volume for the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy CIN) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: A total of 638 patients with ACS were enrolled in the study. CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level of ≥0.

Effect of nondipper hypertension on coronary artery disease progression in patients with chronic coronary syndrome.

Background/aim: It has been suggested that there is a significant progress in coronary artery disease (CAD) by many pathophysiological mechanisms. Nondipper hypertension (NDH) has been shown to have higher target organ damage and have a higher rate of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In this study, we investigated the effect of nondipper hypertension on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
