Background: Sleeping late has been a common phenomenon and brought harmful effects to our health. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between sleep timing and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Sleep onset time which was acquired by the way of sleep factors questionnaire in 426 inpatients was divided into before 22:00, 22:00 to 22:59, 23:00 to 23:59 and 24:00 and after.
Background: High D-dimer (DD) is associated with short-term adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), however, the value of DD (or combined with neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio [NLR]) to predict long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) has not been fully evaluated.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with ACS and receiving PCI were included.
Background: (hyperplasia suppressor gene, also named ) gene polymorphisms have been studied as a candidate gene in essential hypertension, but no clear consensus has been reached in the Chinese population. To systematically explore their possible association, a case-control study was conducted in a central Chinese population.
Methods And Results: We recruited 402 EH patients and 267 normotensive (NT) control subjects.

Aims: Despite significant advances in the treatment of coronary artery disease, the prevalence of ischemic heart failure is still increasing rapidly. Long noncoding RNAs are a novel class of gene regulators and may contribute to disease cause. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs and their potential functional roles in ischemic heart failure.

Methods: A total of 330 patients recruited from Nanjing between September 2011 and November 2012 were randomly assigned to a control group (n=110), morning (n=110) or evening walking group (n=110). Both the walking groups were asked to walk 30 min/day or more on at least 5 days/week either in the morning or evening for 12 weeks.
Purpose: Exercise leads to a lower risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether time of day physical exercise has effects on CAD is still unclear. The present study is to investigate the relationship between time of day physical exercise and angiography determined CAD in a Chinese population.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Hyperlipidemia plays a crucial role in the development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). Recent studies have identified that microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of lipid metabolism, but little is known about the circulating levels of lipometabolism-related miRNAs and their relationship with the presence of CAD in patients with hyperlipidemia.
Methods: In the present study, we enrolled a total of 255 hyperlipidemia patients with or without CAD and 100 controls with normal blood lipids.
Objective: Prospective cohort are inconsistent regarding the association between flavonols intake and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The aim was to perform a meta-analysis to determine whether an association exists between them in observational studies.
Methods: We searched PUBMED and EMBASE databases for studies conducted from 1966 through January 2012.
