Objective: To determine the impact of CKD on the completeness of revascularization and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).
Patients And Methods: The study enrolled 400 CCS patients who underwent revascularization by PCI. They were separated into two categories according to their eGFR levels: the control group: 200 patients with eGFR ≥60mL/min/1.
Objective: To study the correlation between epicardial fat thickness (EFT), pericoronary fat thickness (PCFT), and pericoronary fat density (PCFD) with the existence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 210 patients referred for multislice CT angiography. Group I normal CTCA, Group II patients had non-obstructive atherosclerosis, and Group III patients had obstructive atherosclerosis.
Background: Cardiac dysfunction due to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be subclinical, but those patients are at high risk for developing clinical heart failure.
Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the role of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in the early detection of systolic dysfunction in SLE patients.
Patients And Methods: This was a case-control study.
Objective: Evaluation of the diagnostic value of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) at rest and during dobutamine stress in predicting the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with chronic stable angina.
Methods: A total of 100 patients with chronic stable angina were evaluated using STE at rest and during dobutamine stress to detect the presence, severity, and number of affected coronary arteries. Then, the correlation with the SYNTAX score (SS) was analyzed.
