Association between the increased level of high-sensitive CRP (hs CRP) and non-arrhythmic ECG changes and echocardiographic abnormalities in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Background: Abnormality in the cardiovascular system such as left ventricular dysfunction caused increased serum CRP and change in electrocardiography pattern. The present study aimed to understand the association between increased levels of highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) and non-arrhythmic ECG changes and electrocardiographic abnormalities in patients with the acute coronary syndrome.

Methods: This study was done on 120 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome and hospitalized at CCU.

Early repolarization and the severity of coronary artery disease: A case-control study.

Background: Early repolarization (ER) is a common finding of the routine electrocardiogram (ECG). The ER usually considered a benign ECG finding, nevertheless a controversy. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between early repolarization (ER) and the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with a diagnostic coronary angiography.

Association between plasma leptin/adiponectin ratios with the extent and severity of coronary artery disease.

Background: Leptin can have a direct effect on endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells and high level of leptin is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to determine the relationship between leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio and the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: This case-control study was conducted in an educational hospital in Ilam, Iran from June 2014 to September 2015.
