EFFECTIVENESS OF MAIN ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE RISK FACTOR CONTROL IN PATIENTS AFTER ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME, THEIR COMPLIANCE TO THERAPY PROSPECTIVE SURVEYdoi:10.1097/00004872-201106001-00406Efanov, A. Y.Shalaev, S. V.Journal of Hypertension
Left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is the highest-risk lesion subset of ischemic heart disease, and has traditionally been an indication for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Recent evidence suggests comparable clinical outcomes between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and CABG for ...
This chapter describes the clinical features, and diagnosis of complications in AECHB including secondary bacterial infections, coagulation disorder, water electrolyte disorder, hepatorenal syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatopulmonary syndrome and e
Death was defined as death from any cause. Q-wave MI was defined as documentation of a new abnormal Q-wave after the index revascularization. Stroke, as indicated by neurologic deficits, was confirmed by a neurologist on the basis of imaging studies. A TVR was defined as any repeat ...
First, older men are more likely to develop diseases (such as heart attacks, angina, cardiovascular disease, strokes, diabetes mellitus, and high blood pressure) that are associated with erectile dysfunction. Second, the aging process alone can cause erectile dysfunction in some men by causing chan...
The most common cause of death in both groups was ischemic heart disease. MI patients with LBBB have more comorbid conditions and an increased unadjusted 1-year mortality. When adjusted for age, baseline characteristics, concomitant diseases, and left ventricular ejection fraction, LBBB does not ...
Primary clinical endpoints were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality; secondary end points were myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization, a composite of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or repeat revascularizatio...
cause a significant pressure drop and thus be functionally significant even when it appears relatively mild on CA. Importantly, flow through a stenosis is also dependent on any resistance caused by up- and/or downstream lesions, if present, and on the resistance of the microcirculation and its ...
There was resolution of aortitis and myocardial inflammation (Figure) with improvement in quality of life. Conclusion TKA is a rare but devastating cause of MI in young women. This case highlights the importance of multi-faceted approach to diagnosis and utility of anti-inflammatories in effective...
It also resulted in 11.6 % of the total deaths, making it the second-leading cause of death worldwide [1]. Multiple studies have established a strong association between CEVD and coronary artery disease (CAD), reporting that approximately 16.9 % of patients with CAD had prior transient ...
