The CD40 and CD40 ligand system regulates mul-tiple phases of the humoral and cellular immune response. Soluble CD40 (sCD40) ligand especially releases from activated platelets. Platelets are involved not only in thrombosis, but also in atherosclerotic lesion formation and restenosis processes. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether there is a relationship between the level of sCD40 ligand and angiographic extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and to compare other cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: 102 participants were included in our study. Among them, 37 patients constituted acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group, 41 patients were diagnosed as stable angina pectoris group (SAP), while 24 subjects served as control group. Peripheral venous blood samples were drawn at the Coronary Care Unit admission of ACS group patients.

Acute management of children presenting with SVT may be a challenge, as the exact tachycardia mechanism is often unknown. The strategy for treatment depends on the presentation and clinical status of the patient. Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify and select original research reports on supraventricular tachycardia management drugs in children and infants with no structural heart disease (all children from 1 hour to 17 years of age) in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Data were analyzed with Review manager version 5.4. P -value and I 2 were used to test the signifi cance difference. Results: 26 studies out of 65 total studies assessed for eligibility were included in the review by fulfi lling the inclusion criteria. There were 8103 patients from 13 countries with SVT who were treated with different antiarrhythmic drugs including (Adenosine, Dexmedetomidine) as acute management and (Amiodarone, Beta-Blockers, Flecainide, Digoxin and Ivabradine) as chronic control.
