Enhanced Platelet Toll-like Receptor 2 and 4 Expression in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Stable Angina Pectoris

Nov 28, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Enhanced Platelet Toll-like Receptor 2 and 4 Expression in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Stable Angina Pectoris

Evidence is accumulating that toll-like receptors (TLR) are involved in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular disease. Enhanced expression of these receptors on monocytes has been shown in patients with…

Usefulness of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Wrapping Around the Left Ventricular Apex to Predict Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (from the Harmonizing Outcomes With Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction Trial)

Nov 28, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Usefulness of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Wrapping Around the Left Ventricular Apex to Predict Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (from the Harmonizing Outcomes With Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction Trial)

The association between anatomic features of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and outcomes in patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been fully investigated. We sought…

Levels of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol are Associated With Biomarkers of Inflammation in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Nov 28, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Levels of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol are Associated With Biomarkers of Inflammation in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Pathologic conditions associated with inflammation show an inverse correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and inflammatory biomarker levels. Our aim was to investigate, in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS),…
