Abstract Carbon monoxide poisoning has a variety of deleterious cardiac effects including arrhythmias, coronary spasm and myocardial infarction. The pro-thrombotic effect of carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the important…
Abstract Background Late thrombotic events are important complications associated with intracoronary brachytherapy (ICBT) using ionizing radiation (IR) or with antiproliferative treatment modalities such as drug-eluting stents (DES). The mechanism mediating…
Abstract Background Visualization of collateral circulation to the infarct-related artery on coronary angiography was suggested to predict viability in the infarct zone as demonstrated by dobutamine stress echocardiography. Methods and…
Abstract Background The long-term outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) according to the universal classification (UC) are unknown. We investigated whether the outcome of these patients is better…
Abstract Purpose Infusion of a source of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) into the ischemic myocardium is emerging as a promising therapy for coronary ischemia, probably mediated by the formation of…
Abstract Introduction Myocardial bridge is a rare coronary anomaly that is generally considered to be benign. The true incidence and long-term prognosis are still under debate. Therefore, we investigated the…
Abstract Background Previous studies have reported ambiguous results regarding the effect of acute exercise on platelet reactivity in healthy and cardiac patients. Objectives We aimed to assess platelet reactivity among…
Abstract Aim of the study The study proposes to evaluate the limb salvage in diabetic ischemic limbs with foot wounds, where all types of common arterial reconstructions have previously failed…
Abstract The aim was to assess the impact of the short-term anti-inflammatory therapy on coronary endothelial function in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients. In 30 patients, coronary endothelial function…
Abstract Arterial thrombosis and especially coronary thrombosis are known complications of cocaine abuse. We report three cases of severe life-threatening coronary arterial thrombosis manifesting as acute coronary syndromes. Thrombosis occurred…
