The impact of baseline renal function on coronary collateral circulation (CCC) development remains debated. This study aimed to assess the relationship between CCC grade and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO).

This study aimed to investigate the potential correlations and differences between patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and healthy controls. Emphasis was placed on examining the relationship between their arterial blood gas pH value and arterial blood gas lactate value, as well as assessing the utility of the peripheral perfusion index (PI) in ACS management.

Left atrial volume index (LAVI) is correlated with the risk of atrial fibrillation, cerebrovascular events, congestive heart failure, and death. In this study, we aim to reveal the relationship between the SYNTAX score I and LAVI.

In patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass-guided cardiac surgery, knowledge of the preoperative effects of platelet distribution width (PDW), red cell distribution width - standard deviation (RDW-SD), and platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR) factors strongly suggests that they may predict unfavourable outcomes.

Renal impairment following contrast exposure can sometimes become permanent, and data on the long- term impact of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) on renal dysfunction are limited. We aimed to examine the incidence and long-term outcome of persistent renal dysfunction after coronary CTA.

The degree of hypothermia during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may affect kidney injury. In this study we compared the effects of mild (MLD) and moderate (MOD) hypothermia on renal injury evaluated with Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL), Cystatin-C (Cyc-C) and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in CABG surgery.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate changes in complete blood count (CBC) values in patients diagnosed with primary Raynaud's phenomenon (PRP). Most diagnostic tests for Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) aim to identify underlying diseases. When no such disease is detected, the condition is termed primary Raynaud's phenomenon (PRP).

The degree of hypothermia during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may affect kidney injury. In this study we compared the effects of mild (MLD) and moderate (MOD) hypothermia on renal injury evaluated with Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL), Cystatin-C (Cyc-C) and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in CABG surgery.

The prevalence of patients requiring cardiac surgery with concurrent active cancer or a history of cancer is rising. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in post- cardiac surgery long-term survival between these patients and those without cancer and to identify the factors influencing survival.

The Symptoms, history of Vascular disease, Electrocardiography, Age, and Troponin (SVEAT) score is a novel clinical risk scoring system that is used for non- ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether a relationship between SVEAT and the Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (SYNTAX) scores in patients who have acute...
