Background: Coronary artery disease is among the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. There are limited scientific evidence on the risk factors for coronary artery disease specific to the Nepalese context. This study aimed to determine the association of various modifiable cardiovascular risk factors with coronary artery disease in Nepal.
Methods: It is a hospital-based case-control study conducted among 300 participants. Case group comprised of 150 newly diagnosed coronary artery disease patients attending Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Centre while the Age and sex matched non-cardiac patients (n=150) from the outpatient department of the Department of General Practice and Emergency Medicine of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital were recruited as controls. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) were calculated using multivariable logistic regression.
Results: Of the 300 participants, 208 (69.3%) were males and 92 (30.7%) were females. The mean age was 59.8 years ± 11 years (standard deviation). In multivariable analysis, current smoking (AOR=3.05, 95% CI: 1.61-5.78), hypertension (AOR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.08-3.09), diabetes (AOR=3.78, 95% CI: 1.91-7.47), family history of coronary artery disease (AOR=2.92, 95% CI: 1.27-6.71), and low high density lipoprotein (AOR= 2.0, 95% CI: 1.17-3.42) were significantly associated with coronary artery disease. Current alcohol use (AOR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.29-0.89) was identified as a protective factor for coronary artery disease.
Conclusions: Among the modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and low level of high density lipoprotein were significantly associated with coronary artery disease, which should be considered while developing public health interventions for cardiovascular disease prevention in Nepal in future.

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.

Objective: To compare biomarkers of neurovascular unit (NVU) - S100β, NSE, BDNF and indicators of the brain electrical activity in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depending on the use of different versions of multi-tasking cognitive training (CT).
Material And Methods: The study included 89 people, of whom 47 completed the CTI (postural and three cognitive tasks (counting backwards, verbal fluency and the open-ended task «Unusual use of an ordinary object») and 42 patients, who underwent CTII (visuomotor reaction and the same cognitive tasks) in the early postoperative CABG period. The patients of both groups underwent complex testing of psychomotor, executive functions, attention, short-term memory and EEG study in the perioperative period of CABG.

Arterial variations in the upper limb are of significant clinical importance, especially in procedures such as venepunctures, coronary artery bypass grafts, trauma reconstructive surgeries, brachial plexus nerve blocks, and breast reconstructions. This report presents previously undocumented arterial variations in the upper limbs in a 95-year-old female cadaveric donor. We observed bilateral superficial ulnar arteries originating at the cubital fossa, deviating from the previously reported origin at the proximal brachial artery.
