Relationship between the Fibrinogen/Albumin Ratio and Microvascular Perfusion in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction: A Prospective Study.

Background: Correct TIMI frame count (CTFC), myocardial blush grade (MBG), and ST-segment resolution (STR) are parameters used to evaluate reperfusion at the microvascular level in patients that have undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) has been associated with thrombotic events in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and chronic venous insufficiency.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship of FAR with CTFC, MBG, and STR.

Determinants of Early Prognosis after Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery.

Null.

High CRP-albumin ratio is associated high thrombus burden in patients with newly diagnosed STEMI.

In patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) due to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), an increased intracoronary thrombus burden is a strong predictive factor for adverse cardiovascular events. The C-reactive protein (CRP)-serum albumin (SA) ratio (CAR), used as an inflammatory marker, is closely associated with thrombogenicity. In this study, we investigated the relationship between coronary thrombus burden and CAR in patients undergoing pPCI due to newly diagnosed STEMI.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Triglycerides-Glucose İndex and Coronary Slow Flow: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.

Background: Coronary slow flow (CSF) refers to delayed distal vessel opacification in the absence of epicardial coronary artery stenosis. The etiopathogenic mechanism of CSF is still unclear.

Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between CSF and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index.

[Comparative assessment of the effects of dobutamine and levosimendan on right ventricular ejection fraction in patients with biventricular heart failure].

Aim    The primary objective of this study was to comparatively assess the effects of levosimendan and dobutamine on RVEF, right ventricular diastolic function, and hormonal balance in patients with biventricular heart failure. The secondary objective was to investigate the relationship between the RVEF and the peak systolic velocity (Sa), an indicator of right ventricular systolic function, as measured by tissue Doppler echocardiography from the tricuspid annulus, and by the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE).Material and Methods    The population of this cross-sectional, single-center, prospective study was comprised of 81 patients, who between December 2019 and January 2022, applied to the study health institution with diagnosis of ADHF.
