Clinical Presentation And Outcome In Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients In Relation To Plaque Morphology Identified By Intra Vascular Ultra Sound.

Objectives: To evaluate plaque morphology in non-culprit coronary arteries using intravascular ultrasound in patients with acute coronary syndrome with and without elevated glycated haemoglobin and its assocaition with patient outcome.

Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Cardiology Department of Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt, from November 2019 to January 2022, and comprised adult patients of either gender suffering from acute coronary syndrome. The patients were divided into three groups.

Coronary Plaque Morphology And Characteristics In Patients With Raised Haemoglobin A1c: An Intravascular Ultrasound Study.

Objectives: To identify coronary plaque morphology using grey scale and virtual histology intravascular ultrasound in patients with and without elevated glycated haemoglobin.

Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Cardiology Department of Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt, from November 2019 to January 2022, and comprised adult patients of either gender suffering from acute coronary syndrome admitted for catheterisation. The patients were divided into three groups.

Echocardiographic Assessment Of Left Ventricular Function After COVID-19 Vaccination In Adults.

Objectives: To assess left ventricular function by conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography in subjects having received coronavirus disease-2019 vaccine.

Method: The cohortstudy was conducted from April 2021 to April 2022 at the Department of Cardiology, Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt, and comprised adults of either gender who had received coronavirus disease-2019 vaccine. Detailed history was noted before clinical assessment, electrocardiogram and echocardiography, which were done at baseline and after two weeks of the last vaccine dose.
