Background: The potential prognostic biomarker—neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be used to predict the severity of STEMI. We conducted an observational study using this parameter together with the extent of coronary artery involvement from coronary angiogram and magnitude...
Background: It is important to identify patients at risk of developing cardiovascular events to enable preventive interventions and promote lifestyle modifications. Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) is an important marker for cardiovascular disease and can be easily measured...
Background: Physical activity has been shown to have positive impact on health and in the long term results in improved physical fitness and quick recovery in cardiovascular parameters after sub-maximal exertion. Clinical evaluation of cardiovascular recovery as a prognostic tool...
Several toxic effects of crude oil have been reported on human reproductive, respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. An instance is seen in the negative effect on fertility resulting from prolonged exposure to fumes from the exhausts of vehicles. This study, therefore,...
In the United States alone, more than 6 million patients receive long-term anti-platelet and anticoagulation therapy. The hemostatic system must maintain a balance between fibrin formation (coagulation) and fibrin dissolution (fibrinolysis). Thrombin and Factor Xa are two of the...
Introduction: MRI scans are not recommended for the first four weeks after device implantation. However, conditions like hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy can only be evaluated by MRI. A case where MRI brain was done in a patient with HIE four days after ICD implantation has been...
