Feb 26th, 2021 - Utilization of multiple arterial grafts (MAG) provides superior patency and long-term survival benefit compared to venous grafts during coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). However, MAG are infrequently utilized for CABG. We hypothesized s...

Feb 26th, 2021 - Cardiac surgery can cause similar inflammatory reactions with infection; antibacterial treatment may be inappropriately used. Early and accurate diagnosis of infection still is a difficult problem worldwide. Procalcitonin (PCT) helps to identify s...

Feb 26th, 2021 - One of the main sources of ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and release of free oxygen radicals (FORs) during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) during cardiac surgery is neutrophils. In this study, we investigated the potential effects of our modi...

Feb 26th, 2021 - Peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2 ) and heart rate reserve (HRR) are independent prognostic markers of cardiovascular disease. However, the impact of peak VO2 and HRR on long-term prognosis after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OP-CABG) remai...

Feb 24th, 2021 - Background Global budget payments (GBP) are considered effective in containing health care expenditures; however, information on their impact on quality of cardiovascular care is limited. We aimed to evaluate the effects of GBP on utilization, out...

Aug 31st, 2017 - Exercise stress testing is a validated diagnostic test for coronary artery disease in symptomatic patients, and is used in the evaluation of patients with known cardiac disease. Testing of asymptomatic patients is generally not indicated. It may b...

Dec 18th, 2015 - Internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) should be used to bypass the left anterior descending (LAD) artery when bypass of the LAD is indicated (class of recommendation [COR] I, level of evidence [LOE] B). As an adjunct to left internal thoracic artery (...

Aug 27th, 2013 - The initial 2010 Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Guidelines for the Use of Antiplatelet Therapy in the Outpatient Setting were published in May 2011. As part of a planned re-evaluation within 2 years, we conducted an extensive literature sea...

Jul 30th, 2013 - Numerous definitions have been proposed for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization. The universal definition for MI designates post procedural biomarker thresholds for defining percutaneous coronary interventi...

Mar 20th, 2012 - Refractory angina (RFA) is a debilitating disease characterized by cardiac pain resistant to conventional treatments for coronary artery disease including nitrates, calcium-channel and β-adrenoceptor blockade, vasculoprotective agents, percutaneou...

Jan 13th, 2021 - Intraoperative injection of calcium chloride into the four major atrial ganglionated plexi (GPs) reduced the incidence of early postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery...

Dec 22nd, 2020 - A new study shows sex differences in mortality rates among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The researchers found that 7 years after a CABG procedure mortality was lower in men, but not in women, who had undergone multip...

Aug 18th, 2020 - The beneficial effect on all-cause mortality of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) observed at 4 and 5 years in women with complex coronary disease seen in the SYNTAX trial is gone at 10 years. If anything, the results suggest a mortal...

Jul 28th, 2020 - After months of denying the data exist, investigators of the controversial EXCEL trial published an analysis of the universal definition of myocardial infarction that they failed to include in previous journal publications from the study. The new ...
