Background: Prior studies and meta-analyses showed cardioprotective benefits of intravenous or intracoronary nicorandil administration in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, little is known about the efficacy of oral nicorandil in this context, especially that parenteral forms are not widely available.
Aim: To investigate the impact of oral nicorandil administered before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) on no-reflow and to assess the in-hospital and 3-month major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
Background: Epicardial and pericardial adipose tissues are two distinct types of visceral fat in close adherence to the heart and were found to be increased among diabetics.
Aim: To investigate the correlation between cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-quantified epicardial (EFV) and pericardial fat (PFV) volumes and the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) among diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that included 111 patients having CAD as indicated by coronary angiography and who underwent CMR.
Objectives: The current study aimed to detect the BOS prevalence and determinants among residents working during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in an Egyptian tertiary university referral hospital.
Methods: A cross-sectional study evaluating the working period from June to November 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic second wave, through a five sections questionnaire evaluating: 1 - sociodemographic characteristics, 2 - job characteristics, 3 - negative thoughts related to their job, 4 - resident's health problems, and 5 - evaluating BOS through Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale (including emotional exhaustion [EE], depersonalization [DP], and personal accomplishment [PA] as subscales).
Results: We included 230 residents with a median age of 27 years.
