Objective: The incidence of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-induced enteropathy is currently increasing. However, the predictors of small bowel bleeding (SBB) associated with NSAIDs are unknown. This study aimed to assess the risk factors of SBB in chronic NSAIDs users.
Methods: We retrospectively compared the medical records of 147 patients receiving NSAIDs in a tertiary-care setting (31 with SBB and 116 without previous bleeding events) and analyzed the predictors of SBB.
Results: In total, 31 patients underwent video capsule endoscopy to detect SBB, 74.2% of whom showed the evidence of SBB. Non-invasive treatment was performed in 90.3% of the patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of coronary artery disease [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 12.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-130.34, P = 0.04], use of thienopyridine (aOR 16.93, 95% CI 3.78-75.72, P < 0.001) and prior use of rebamipide (aOR 0.31, 95% CI 0.12-0.82, P = 0.02) were independently associated with SBB in NSAIDs users.
Conclusions: Coronary artery disease and co-use of thienopyridine were associated with SBB in NSAIDs users. The patients with coronary artery disease co-using thienopyridine need to be monitored for the occurrence of SBB when they were prescribed with NSAIDs.

Globally, the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasing, accounting for a third of all deaths worldwide including myocardial infarctions (MIs) which represent the most severe clinical manifestation of CAD and are among the most dangerous coronary events. Therefore, this study aims to assess the knowledge of symptoms and risk factors of MIs, as well as attitudes and beliefs regarding MIs and confidence in recognizing CAD symptoms in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between November 2023 and April 2024 to assess their knowledge and beliefs about CAD and MIs.

Introduction: Obesity is an independent risk factor for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. POAF in patients with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 35 kg/m) is less studied. Whether waist circumference (WC) improves prediction of POAF independently of BMI among patients with severe obesity remains unknown.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) has been recognized as a chronic progressive inflammatory disorder, and Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for the pathogenesis of CHD. Recent research has underscored the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a potent prognostic indicator for individuals suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to delve into the relationship between SII and the degree of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis in non-acute myocardial infarction patients with or without DM.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, significantly influenced by modifiable risk factors, particularly hypercholesterolemia. Despite the availability of effective lipid-lowering drugs, achieving the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target levels remains a significant challenge in clinical practice, contributing to persistent high rates of cardiovascular events. The intEgrated multidiscipliNary pathway for large-scale maNagement of dyslipidemiA in high-risk patients (ENNA) Project was designed to address the alarming rates of suboptimal lipid management among high and very-high risk patients in the Province of Enna, Sicily.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes in a propensity matched population receiving either minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) using left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) or percutaneous coronary intervention using second generation everolismus-eluting stents (DES-PCI) in patients treated for isolated proximal LAD stenosis.
Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2017, 421 patients with a nonemergency status undergoing primary isolated proximal LAD revascularization were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups: 111 patients receiving MIDCAB LITA to LAD and 310 patients receiving DES-PCI. Propensity score matching selected 111 pairs and both groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics and well balanced.
