Association between HbA1c levels with severity of coronary artery disease and short-term outcomes of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction in nondiabetic patients
(2015)
Background: The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is directly related to the quality of glucose control in diabetic patients. Additionally, mortality after an acute coronary syndrome is higher in patients with ...
The prognostic value of a prominent Q wave in lead (-)aVR in acute anterior wall myocardial infarction.
(2015)
This study aimed to determine the association of a prominent Q wave in lead (-)aVR with clinical, echocardiographic and angiographic findings in anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to evaluate the role ...

Factors associated with atrial fibrillation in rheumatic mitral stenosis.
(2015)

Giant right atrial lipoma mimicking tamponade
(2015)
Cardiac lipomas are rarely encountered. They are mostly asymptomatic and may be discovered incidentally. We describe the case of a 56 year-old man with a presentation similar to tamponade. He had decreased heart sounds, ...
Intraoperative administration of vasopressin during coronary artery bypass surgery is associated with acute postoperative kidney injury
(2015)
Background: Severe vasodilatation is commonly seen upon weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We examined the effects of vasopressin (arginine vasopressin [AVP]) on acute kidney injury (AKI) in postoperative period. ...
