Bivalirudin, a direct thrombin inhibitor, has been shown to reduce major bleeding and provide a better safety profile compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)…
Acute coronary thrombotic occlusion is the most common trigger of cardiac arrest. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of an invasive strategy characterized by emergency…
We sought to evaluate the association of urine calcium excretion (UCaE), which reflects systemic calcium absorption, with cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in outpatients with prevalent coronary heart disease (CHD)….
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We examined the cross-sectional association between novel risk factors and coronary artery calcium (CAC) measured…
Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is known pathologic marker for a diversity of diseases, including myocardial ischemia. Strenuous and enduring physical activity can transiently induce a greater total LDH level, still…
Most studies examining potential associations between psychological factors and cardiovascular outcomes have focused on depression or anxiety. The effect of perceived stress on incident coronary heart disease (CHD) has yet…
