Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD).
Material And Methods: In this study, we assessed the prevalence of CAD in asymptomatic T2DM patients and its correlation with invasive testing in treadmill testing (TMT)-positive cases. A total of 90 patients with asymptomatic T2DM were recruited and subjected to TMT TMT-positive patients were subjected to coronary angiography (CAG).
Results: At baseline, the mean duration of T2DM (years) was 4.87 ± 4.04 with mean levels of HbA1c (%) of 7.96 ± 1.02. TMT was positive in 28 patients (31.1%) for reversible myocardial ischaemia (RMI), and among them, 16 patients consented to CAG, of which 14 required coronary angioplasty and the remaining two (7.1%) had to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The remaining 12 TMT positives (42.9%) were managed medically.
Conclusion: To conclude, there is a high prevalence of silent CAD in T2DM. They need regular screening to detect the same and prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with overt CAD. Hence, it is important to screen people with type 2 diabetes, to prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with overt CAD.

Prognostic value of systemic immune-inflammation index in older patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Coron Artery Dis
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objectives: Contemporary studies assessing the importance of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in older patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are scarce. This study investigated the impact and prognostic value of the SII regarding long-term mortality in older patients with ACS.
Methods: The study included 401 older patients aged 75 years and above admitted with ACS between May 2015 and December 2022.
The clinical presentation and genetic diagnosis of Tangier disease in the pediatric age group.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab

Division of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, Erciyes University, Faculty of Medicine, Kayseri, Türkiye.
Objectives: Tangier disease (TD) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by high-density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency; involving symptoms of polyneuropathy, hyperplastic orange-yellow tonsils, vision disorder, and sudden cardiac death. The major clinical symptoms of TD may not all be co-present. This study evaluates patients diagnosed with TD in childhood to improve the possibility of early diagnosis of asymptomatic cases by reporting our patients' clinical characteristics in order to minimize delayed diagnosis and emphasize the importance of TD, easily detected by HDL measurement.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the inflammatory indices i.e. Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII) as potential predictors of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) in patients undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) on Saphenous Vein Graft (SVG) with a history of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).

Background: Few population-based studies have assessed sex differences in stroke recurrence. In addition, contributors to sex differences in recurrence and poststroke mortality, including social factors, are unclear. We investigated sex differences in these outcomes and the contribution of social, clinical, and behavioral factors to the sex differences.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are at high risk for coronary artery disease. We investigate the trends and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) in patients with ESKD.
Methods: We utilized the United States Renal Data System [2010-2018] to include adult patients with ESKD on dialysis for at least 3 months who underwent PCI for SIHD.
