Computer Modelling Informed Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting operations have been performed as a treatment for this disease for over 60 years. There has been recent interest in the exclusive use of arterial grafts as conduits for this operation, …

The effects of preconditioning coronary artery disease patients with hyperbaric oxygen prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery & cardiopulmonary bypass
IntroductionCoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is associated with periods of ischaemia and reperfusion, which may lead to myocardial dysfunction. In clinical studies, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been shown to limit myocardial injury and …

Epidural analgesia for coronary artery bypass graft surgery
… failure, through either; * reduction of native coronary artery and/or graft (conduit) spasm, or * reduction of postoperative hypercoagulability.

Outcomes of "off-pump" coronary artery bypass grafting in a developing country : advantages over coronary artery bypass grafting on cardiopulmonary bypass
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) was developed to avoid the deleterious effects of CPB. Current literature reveals some peri-operative advantages of OPCAB, with few studies detailing these in Africa. We review our institutional experience with both approaches in higher risk patients …

Coronary Artery Calcification and Its Progression in Cancer Patients
… complex pathologic process that can involve the coronary arteries, is the most common cause of ischemic heart disease and research has suggested cancer and its therapies may be involved in its development.

Functional Capacity Outcomes following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
The objective of this study was to determine if this is possible to predict 3 mo post-CABG treadmill VO2pk outcomes from a combination of pre-surgical physical fitness and health and clinical status variables. To determine the VO2pk, subjects performed a maximal treadmill test using a ramp protocol …

Nurses' perceptions of patients' needs post coronary artery bypass grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a stressful and emotional event for the patient, who faces his/her own mortality and possibly the need for an altered lifestyle. Identifying the needs of patients following an acute cardiac event is an essential step in the development of nursing …

Improving Estimation of Coronary Artery Disease Risk Using Haptoglobin Genotyping
… or when an individual will develop the disease. Coronary artery disease (CAD), a subtype of ASCVD, causes myocardial infarction, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Current ASCVD risk estimator calculators lack comprehensiveness and do not include genetic or social determinants …

Coronary Artery Calcification and Waist-Height Ratio in Adult Men
… 연구는 2004년 7월부터 2009년 12월까지 수원시 소재 일개 대학병원 검진센터에서 coronary MDCT 촬영을 시행한 남성 651명을 대상으로 하였다. 관상동맥 석회화 수치와 나이, 체중, 신장, 체질량지수, 허리둘레, 허리둘레-키 비 및 대사증후군 인자인 수축기혈압, 이완기혈압, 중성지방, 고밀도 콜레스테롤, 공복혈당과의 연관성을 확인하였다. 관상동맥 석회화 수치와 나이, 체질량지수, 허리둘레, 허리둘레-키 비, 수축기혈압, 이완기혈압, 중성지방과 유의한 상관관계가 있었고, 관상동맥 석화화 수치에 가장 큰 영향을 …

Nurse-patient perception of stressors associated with coronary artery bypass surgery
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery endure many stressors postoperatively. The purpose of this research study was to approximately replicate Puetz's study (1990) regarding the incongruencies of patient and nurse perceptions of stresser associated with coronary artery bypass surgery. …

The role of Serum Amyloid A1(SAA1) in coronary artery disease
… extracted from blood samples belonging to coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. In total, there were 1243 healthy controls and 800 CAD patients. Healthy controls were recruited from subjects attending a routine health screening. Functional characterization of the genetic variant, …

Oxidative stress in endothelial cells of patients with coronary artery disease
… the development of endothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease (CAD). The prevalence of CAD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more than ten times greater than in the general population and CAD patients with T2D display poorer clinical outcomes than those without. Previous …

Noninvasive evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure
In dit proefschrift worden patiënten bestudeerd met een voorgeschiedenis van coronair lijden en hartfalen. De thesis is onderverdeeld in drie delen: 1. Niet-invasieve inschatting van vuldrukken door middel van geavanceerde echocardiografische technieken 2. Selectie van kandidaten voor cardiale …

Patient-specific blood flow modelling in diagnosis of coronary artery disease
… the approach for development of patient-specific coronary blood flow models in 3D and 0D domains based on coronary artery geometries reconstructed from Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography datasets (CCTA). The computed flow patterns extend the diagnostic value of CCTA, which, being noninvasive …

Application of remote ischaemic preconditioning to human coronary artery bypass surgery
… adult patients undergoing on-pump multi-vessel coronary artery surgery. Patients, investigators, anaesthetists, surgeons and critical care teams were all blind to group allocation. Subjects were randomized(1:1) to RIPC(or placebo) stimuli (3x upper limb (or dummy arm) 5 minute cycles of 200mmHg …
