Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia in Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Introduction Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is by far the most relevant pathological association of it encountered by clinicians. It is an immune-mediated phenomenon caused by antibodies directed against complexes of heparin molecules and platelet factor 4 (PF4). HIT is a considerable side effect in patients of acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Lipid Profile of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).

Introduction  Irrespective of underlying hyperlipidemia, the serum lipid profile witnesses a phasic fluctuation immediately after a major cardiovascular event. This study aims to evaluate the change in serum lipid profile in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods It was a prospective, cross-sectional study conducted in the department of cardiology, Shalamar Hospital, and Punjab Institute of Cardiology, from October until December 2018, focusing on patients admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Corneal Collagen Cross Linking (CXL) in treatment of Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy.

Objective: To determine mean change in visual acuity, central corneal thickness and symptoms in patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy after treatment with corneal collagen crosslinking.

Methods: This quasi experimental study was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from April 2015 to Nov 2015. A total of 24 eyes of 24 patients were included in the study.

Peri-procedural outcome of saphenous vein graft intervention.

Background: Patients who develop recurrent myocardial ischemia after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are often referred for percutaneous coronary intervention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and peri-procedural outcomes in patients with prior CABG referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over a 3 year period.

Methods: Data were collected on patients who underwent coronary interventional procedures following CABG surgery.

Fetal acrania - prenatal sonographic diagnosis and imaging features of aborted fetal brain.

Objective: To determine the frequency of metabolic syndrome in patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD).

Study Design: Cross-sectional, descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Cardiology Department of Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore, from June 2006 to June 2007.
