The possibility of strut fractures after bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) treatment is a new problem associated with the use of this novel technology. There is little in vivo information regarding the effects…
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) are cardiovascular disease risk markers, although data in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) are limited. We hypothesized that elevated apoB…
Although recent studies showed the prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters especially microvascular obstruction (MO) after reperfused ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a study assessing their prognostic significance for…
A 256-slice coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an accurate method for detection and exclusion of obstructive coronary artery disease (OBS-CAD). However, accurate image interpretation requires expertise and may not…
Pericardial effusion (PE) is a common complication following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the frequency and prognostic relevance of PE complicating STEMI are unknown. Aim of this study was to…
The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis associated with bundle branch block (BBB) depending on location, time of appearance, and duration in patients with myocardial infarction (MI)….
Cardiovascular risk persists despite intensive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction using statins. High-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) is inversely associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) that is independent of LDL-C levels. C-reactive…
Cardiac injuries due to penetration by sharp foreign bodies usually have a clear clinical presentation. A case of a 38-year-old man with self-inserted cardiac lesions and a misleading presentation is…
Before cataract surgery, a 64-year-old diabetic man had an electrocardiogram ( Figure 1 ). It shows 257 atrial flutter waves per minute and 2:1 atrioventricular conduction. The second, fifth, eighth, fifteenth,…
This report describes certain computed tomographic and morphologic features of syphilitic aortitis in 2 patients in whom the process involved the entire thoracic aorta. In 2009, a report from this…
