A plenary survey on the Incidence of cardiac complications amongst transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients Open
Introduction: Cardiac complications are the leading cause of mortality amongst transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) patients. The multifactorial etiology of cardiac disorders has made their management quite challenging. Therefore, in ad…

Two-Dimensional Transthoracic Echocardiography-Based Diagnosis of Right Ventricular Aneurysm: A Neglected Issue in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: Case Series and Literature Review Open
Right ventricular (RV) aneurysm is a very rare ventricular lesion. An aneurysm is formed mainly as a complication of myocardial infarction (MI). As an RV aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening occurrence, its appropriate diagnosis is o…

Investigating Adipokine levels in the sera of patients with myocardial infarction in a 6-month follow up Open
Adipokines are peptides that regulate endothelial function, inflammation, blood pressure, and hemostasis. We measured Leptin, Adiponectin, Resistin and Adipsin in a cohort of 36 STEMI patients. Serum levels of Adipokines were measured in t…

Frequency of Efficient Circulating Follicular Helper T Cells Correlates with Dyslipidemia and WBC Count in Atherosclerosis Open
High percentages of cTfh and efficient-cTfh cells in patients with advanced atherosclerosis and their correlation with dyslipidemia and white blood cell counts suggest an ongoing cTfh subset deviation, towards efficient phenotype in the mi…

Association of anteroseptal hypokinesia after myocardial infarction with LDLR variation: A cross-sectional case-control study Open
Cholesterol-rich LDL (LDL-C) is a major atherogenic lipoprotein. Elevated content of LDL-C in serum is associated with the higher risk of atherosclerosis. The plasma LDL-C level is regulated by LDL receptor. The T allele of rs2228671 in LD…

Anti-Varicella Zoster Virus IgG and hsCRP Levels Correlate with Progression of Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis Open
The relationship between high levels of anti-Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) IgG in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis commends a possible similar association in other vessels. We aimed to investigate the associatio…

Interleukin-17 production by CD4+CD45RO+Foxp3+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients with atherosclerosis Open
Introduction T regulatory cells (Tregs) are known as immunoregulatory cells that are reduced in atherosclerosis. Tregs are a part of crosstalk between the immune system and lipoprotein metabolism, both of which are involved in atherosclero…

Lower Frequency of HLA-DRB1*01 in Southwestern Iranian Patients with Atherosclerosis. Open
Our results demonstrated that DRB1*01 may be a protective allele against atherosclerosis in individuals who live in southwest of Iran. The mechanism of this protection needs further investigation.

Accuracy of exercise tolerance test in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in patients with left dominant coronary circulation Open
The results indicated that the presence of left dominance in patients who had normal angiograms despite an abnormal EET was significantly higher than general population. Therefore, left dominance may be considered a confounding factor for …

Correlation between Rs2108622 Locus of CYP4F2 Gene Single Nucleotide Polymorphism and Warfarin Dosage in Iranian Cardiovascular Patients. Open
Many cardiovascular diseases may require lifelong anticoagulation therapy. Warfarin is the most prescribed medication in this regard with serious side effects in some patients. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting cytoc…

Correlation of Early and Late Ejection Fractions with CCL5 and CCL18 Levels in Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction. Open
CCL18 has a correlation with cardiac function in patients with AAMI and it might be considered as an indicator of poor LVEF in patients with AAMI.

Outcome and Graft Patency in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Coronary Endarterectomy Open
The lack of a significant difference in postoperative complications in patients who underwent CABG with or without CE may indicate that CE does not expose patients to a higher risk of complications. Since most of the endarterectomized vess…
