Abstract
Background
In order to establish a consistent method for brachial artery reactivity assessment, we analyzed commonly used approaches to the test and their effects on the magnitude and time-course of flow mediated dilation (FMD), and on test variability and repeatability. As a popular and...... hiện toàn bộ
Renal resistive index and long-term outcome in patients with coronary artery diseaseBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 20 - Trang 1-9 - 2020

The study aimed to evaluate the application of intra-renal Doppler flow indices for the prediction of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) during 24-month follow-up in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) subject to coronary angiography (CA). This prospective study comprised 111 consecutive patients with stable and unstable CAD (68.5% men; median age 65 years), referred ...... hiện toàn bộ
Inverted stress- induced cardiomyopathy as a unusual variant of acute heart failure after cesarean delivery- a case reportBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 16 - Trang 1-6 - 2016

Stress- induced cardiomyopathy is acute, reversible left ventricle mainly apical dysfunction in patients with normal coronary angiography. Rarely it regards basal segments, therefore defined as “inverted stress- induced cardiomyopathy”. While classic form mostly affects postmenopausal women, inverted variant occurs essentially in younger females, always triggered by stress. It can also develop aft...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of genetic polymorphisms in P2Y12 receptor signaling pathway on antiplatelet response to clopidogrel in coronary heart diseaseBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 22 - Trang 1-11 - 2022

Remarkable interindividual variability in clopidogrel response is observed, genetic polymorphisms in P2RY12 and its signal pathway is supposed to affect clopidogrel response in CHD patients. 539 CHD patients treated with clopidogrel were recruited. The platelet reaction index (PRI) indicated by VASP-P level were detected in 12–24 h after clopidogrel loading dose or within 5–7 days after initiation...... hiện toàn bộ
The association between diabetes mellitus and reduction in myocardial glucose uptake: a population-based 18F-FDG PET/CT studyBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - - 2018
Lijun Hu, Chun Qiu, Xiaosong Wang, Mei Xu, Xiaoliang Shao, Yuetao Wang
In diabetes, dysregulated substrate utilization and energy metabolism of myocardium can lead to heart failure. To examine the dynamic changes of myocardium, most of the previous studies conducted dynamic myocardial PET imaging following euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, which involves complicated procedures. In comparison, the whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scan is a simple and widely used method. The...... hiện toàn bộ
Automated 4D flow cardiac MRI pipeline to derive peak mitral inflow diastolic velocities using short-axis cine stack: two centre validation study against echocardiographic pulse-wave dopplerBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 23 - Trang 1-11 - 2023

Measurement of peak velocities is important in the evaluation of heart failure. This study compared the performance of automated 4D flow cardiac MRI (CMR) with traditional transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTE) for the measurement of mitral inflow peak diastolic velocities. Patients with Doppler echocardiography and 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance data were included retrospectively. An es...... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence of high-risk coronary plaques in patients with and without metabolic syndrome and the relationship with prognosisBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 20 - Trang 1-10 - 2020
Xu Yang, Wei Luo, Shan Han, Lei Zha, Jing Zhang, Xiaowei Li, Hui Zhao, Shuo Liang, Ru Zhao
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a disorder, characterized by clusters of cardiovascular risk factors such as central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Patients with MS may have a higher plaque burden that increases their risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of high-risk coronary plaques in patients with and without MS ...... hiện toàn bộ
A cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between uric acid and coronary atherosclerosis in patients with suspected coronary artery disease in ChinaBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 14 Số 1 - 2014
Yujiao Sun, Xin Yu, Yi Zhi, Geng Song, Hua Li, Ting Liu, Ke Xu, Ling Chen, Wu Chunwei, Guoxian Qi
AbstractBackgroundAlthough many studies have examined the relationship between uric acid (UA) and coronary artery disease (CAD), whether UA is an independent risk factor contributing to progression of CAD is still controversial. Whether UA plays a different role in different sexes is also unclear.... hiện toàn bộ
Left ventricular inflow obstruction due to a coronary arteriovenous fistula: a paediatric case reportBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 21 - Trang 1-6 - 2021

We report a rare case of left ventricular inflow obstruction from a branch of the left circumflex coronary artery to the right atrium caused by a coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) in a young Japanese male child. The patient was diagnosed with CAVF following a heart murmur shortly after birth. The left-to-right shunt caused right ventricular volume overload and pulmonary congestion. An emergenc...... hiện toàn bộ
