Objective The development of left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction is a predictor of heart failure, shock and mortality. However, the genetic influence on cardiac remodeling, and shock in…
Objectives Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) may restrict the size of right ventricular (RV) infarcts however the relation between CCC and clinical adverse events in patients with inferior STEMI was not…
Objective Although transradial procedures can be performed more effectively with specially designed catheters, most of interventional cardiologists around the world still use standard femoral catheters, mainly due to familiarity and…

Introduction ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has a high mortality rate, but emergency coronary revascularization has dramatically improved. In order to assess the short- and long-term risks of STEMI patients, many…
Introduction Stent fracture (SF) is a rare complication of stent implantation with a reported rate of 0.84-3.2% in various clinical studies with first generation drug eluting stent (DES) and 29%…
Background Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) has been proven as a clinical condition related with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, relationship between CIN and stent restenosis (SR) remain unclear. In this study,…
Introduction Saphenous vein graft (SVG) intervention remains technically challenging and is associated with higher rates of in-hospital morbidity and mortality compared with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of native coronary arteriesarteries….
Introduction The Gensini scoring system is an objective method to determine the severity of CAD according to angiographic findings. Furthermore, data about the association between the coronary scores and in-stent…
Objective Cardiac Syndrome X (CSX), characterized by angina-like chest discomfort, ST segment depression during exercise, and normal epicardial coronary arteries at angiography, is a highly prevalent condition in women. Elevated…
