Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a multifactorial process triggered when an organ is subjected to transiently reduced blood supply. The result is a cascade of pathological complications and organ damage due to the production of reactive oxygen species following reperfusion. The present study aims to evaluate the role of activated calcium-sensing receptor (CaR)-cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE)/hydrogen sulfide (H2S) pathway in I/R injury.

Few studies to date address the predictive ability of CHADS-VASc and RCHADS in CAD patients. Our aim is to investigate the prognostic performance of CHADS, CHADS-VASc and RCHADS scores in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Angiographically obstructive CAD patients were enrolled.

Objectives: Our aim was to investigate whether the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes mellitus (DM) influenced the N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and its prognostic performance in coronary artery disease (CAD).

Patients And Methods: The present study enrolled a total of 1638 CAD patients. Multivariate regression analyses were carried out to relate NT-proBNP to metabolic components, nondiabetic MetS, DM, and MetS score.

Backgrounds: The relation between serum total bilirubin (TBi) and mortality in patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD) remains undefined. We try to investigate the role of the subtypes of CAD in the association.

Methods: A total of 3013 patients with angiographically obstructive CAD were enrolled.

Currently, there are no studies addressing the influence of age on the prognostic information of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in Asian population with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic performance of NT-proBNP in Chinese patients with ACS across different age groups. A total of 1512 ACS patients with venous blood NT-proBNP measured were enrolled.

Background: Whether body composition is associated with the N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and its prognostic performance in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the influence of body composition on the NT-proBNP level and its prognostic performance among ACS patients.

Methods: In total, 1623 ACS patients with NT-proBNP data were enrolled.

Limited data exist regarding the outcomes of patients with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) detected by computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) or invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Our aim was to compare the prognosis of patients with nonobstructive coronary artery plaques with that of patients with entirely normal arteries. The MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched.
