Background: Myocardial injury is a complication of stroke associated with unfavorable outcome, with the elevation of cardiac troponin as the most sensitive marker. In this study, we aimed at investigating the association between statin pretreatment and poststroke myocardial injury.
Methods: Six hundred seventy-one patients diagnosed as acute ischemic stroke were enrolled.
The Biochemical Markers Associated with the Occurrence of Coronary Spasm.
Biomed Res Int
February 2020
Coronary artery spasm (CAS) is one of the mechanisms of angina pectoris. Unlike the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction which is based on the elevation of cardiac markers, the diagnosis of CAS is difficult and sometimes requires sophisticated and risky provocative test which is not widely accepted in China. There is no well-established biomarker for the diagnosis or prediction of CAS.

However, the association of polymorphisms in the LDB3 gene with susceptibility to IDCM in Chinese populations remains unexplored as dose the impact on clinical presentation.
Methods: We sequenced all exons and the adjacent part of introns of the LDB3 gene in 159 Chinese Han IDCM patients and 247 healthy controls.
[Clinical study of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by left ventricular aneurysm].
Zhonghua Xin Xue Guan Bing Za Zhi
April 2009
Objective: To examine the hemodynamic and electrophysiological influence of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) formation in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM).
Methods: All hospital records were retrospectively reviewed from IDCM patients admitted to our hospital between 2003 and 2008. Patients with coronary angiography evidenced ischemic cardiomyopathy were excluded.
