Article Abstract

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the serum homocysteine (HCY) to apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) ratio (HAR) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

Methods: Patients who underwent coronary angiography due to chest pain at two medical centers were selected. Serum homocysteine (HCY), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA-1), albumin, and other indicators were measured in each group, and the HAR was calculated for statistical analysis.

Results: (1) Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a linear relationship between HAR and the incidence of CAD ( > 0.05). (2) The results of the multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that HAR and other parameters were independent risk factors for CAD and severe CAD. The C-indexes of the column line chart model constructed based on the results of the multivariable logistic regression for CAD and severe coronary artery lesions were 0.719 and 0.837, respectively. (3) Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between HAR and the Gensini score. (4) The decision curve analysis results indicated that the predictive model and HAR have good predictive value for severe coronary artery lesions.

Conclusion: There is a discernible correlation between HAR and coronary artery disease (CAD), demonstrating predictive value for both CAD and severe CAD, thereby serving as a useful tool in the diagnosis and assessment of coronary heart disease.

The outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is still controversial for patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. This multicenter cohort study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of LMCA disease patients who underwent PCI or CABG. We reviewed 875 consecutive patients diagnosed with LMCA disease between January 2009 and December 2020 who underwent coronary revascularization by PCI (n = 404) or CABG (n = 471).

Validation of angiography-based FFR in non-culprit vessels of patients presenting with STEMI.

Clin Res Cardiol

September 2025

Department of (Interventional) Cardiology, Thoraxcenter, Erasmus University Medical Center, Room Rg-628, P.O. Box 2040, 3000 CA, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) for non-culprit lesions (NCLs) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can be influenced by temporary changes in microvascular resistance. Angiography-derived vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR) has been tested as a less-invasive alternative.

Aims: The FAST STEMI II study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of acute-setting vFFR vs.

Background: Current guidelines recommend clopidogrel in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), yet the comparative benefits are unclear.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients with CCS undergoing PCI.

Methods: We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL databases from inception to February 15, 2025.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents one of the most challenging and common complications encountered in critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. This sudden deterioration in kidney function substantially contributes to morbidity and mortality in the intensive care setting, prolongs hospital stays, and increases healthcare costs.

Objective: The objective of this study is to study the clinical profile, etiology, complications, and outcomes of AKI in critically ill patients admitted to the medicine ICU.

Aim: This 10-year study aimed to evaluate how glycaemic control, diabetes duration and coronary stenosis severity affect mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to perform multifactorial risk analysis to find key modifiable factors for better risk stratification and secondary prevention.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 150 patients with T2DM with chronic coronary syndrome who had coronary angiography at a single centre between 2011 and 2012. Demographic and biochemical data were collected.
