Recent reports have suggested that polymorphisms in the human paraoxonase (HUMPONA)
gene may be a genetic risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in white populations. …

We investigated the relation between left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery
morphology and inferior lead ST-segment changes to elucidate the clinical significance of such …

Aortic intramural hemorrhage is a subtype of aortic dissection in which there is no false lumen.
1, 2 Unenhanced and enhanced computed tomographic (CT) images of aortic intramural …

The clinical significance of the time of onset of atrial fibrillation (AF) was investigated in patients
with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Among 1,039 patients with AMI, 100 (9.6%) had …

Objectives. This study sought to assess the usefulness of platelet-dependent thrombin
generation as an index of coagulability in diabetes and to determine the effect of glycemic control …

Objectives. We evaluated coagulability as determined by platelet-dependent thrombin
generation in hypercholesterolemic patients before and after treatment with pravastatin and in …

The cardiovascular protective effects of estrogen are known to be mediated by its beneficial
effects on lipid metabolism and its direct actions on the vessel wall. The latter can be …

Using 24-hour Holter monitoring and time domain and power spectral measurements, we
evaluated the variability or the heart rate and its circadian rhythm in 55 male patients with …

Background: We observed marked myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending
coronary artery (LAD) in the acute stages of inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI) in a group of …

Background Platelets play pivotal roles in coronary thrombosis, and antiplatelet therapies are
widely used for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the effects of genetic variation in …
