Identifying Risk Factors for Native Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Identifying Risk Factors for Native Coronary Atherosclerosis ProgressionAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. This study was aimed at investigating factors influencing the progression of native coronary atherosclerosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

A cohort of 462 patients was classified into progressive (n = 73) or non-progressive (n = 389) groups according to the presence of native coronary atherosclerosis progression on coronary angiography. Clinical data and angiography results were compared during follow-up, and the time to progression of native coronary atherosclerosis was recorded. Subsequently, multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted.

In comparison to the non-progressive group, the progressive group had higher levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and triglycerides (TG), and higher scores on the Synergy Between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) scale, but lower levels of high-density (more…)

Identification of Arrhythmia-Associated Gene Mutations in Chinese Patients with Primary Electrical Disorders or Sudden Cardiac Death

Identification-of-Arrhythmia-Associated-Gene-MutationAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Sudden cardiac death (SCD), unexpected death based on sudden cardiac ejection cessation, accounts for 15–20% of unnatural deaths in developed countries. Primary electrical disorders (PEDs), a group of cardiac rhythm abnormalities without detectable structural heart disease, are a major cause of SCD in people younger than 35 years of age. (more…)
