The use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the procedural success and continuous technological improvements contributed to a better treatment of coronary heart disease also resulted in the development of acute and remote thrombotic complications. Environmental factors such as smoking significantly worsen unwanted cardiac events after percutaneous coronary intervention. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of risk factors (smoking) the number and severity of adverse cardiac events and its possible selective effect on the formation of acute and subacute thrombotic complications during the application of stents coated with paclitaxel (PES) and sirolimus-coated stents (SES). The study was based on a five-year follow-up of all consecutive patients at the Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases Dedinje in which are embedded drug-eluting stents with sirolimus (Cyphar) and paclitaxel (Taxus). Average age of the tested population was 68.4 ± 8.4 years, of which 585 patients were men (83.4%) and 116 (16.6%) women. Four patients (0.6%) died. Myocardial infarction occurred in nine patients (1.3%). The overall incidence of MACE events was 14.5%, which was registered in 102 patients. Stent thrombosis, definite criteria according to ARC, occurred in 22 patients (3.14%). Probable stent thrombosis was observed in 1 patient (0.14%), possible stent thrombosis in 1 patient (0.14%). Sirolimus and paclitaxel-coated stents are safe and effective means of percutaneous coronary interventions conducted for treatment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Research has shown a large impact of smoking as a risk factor in the development of adverse cardiac events.

However, few studies have examined the correlation between temporal changes of these biomarkers and high risk echocardiographic and angiographic variables. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between these variables. Methods: Our study was a prospective study of 113 patients with a diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who were admitted within the first hours of the onset of chest pain. Troponin-I and CK-MB were measured serially at the time of hospital admission, at 6-9 hours and again at 12-24 hours. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography and coronary angiography and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), mitral regurgitation and severity of coronary artery disease were determined. Results: Troponin-I level within 6-9 hours after admission was significantly associated with significant coronary artery disease among different variables (P-value=0.032, odds ratio=1.11, 95% confidence interval [1.01-1.22]). Also, patients younger than 65 years of age had higher levels of troponin-I within 6-9 and 12-24","PeriodicalId":53534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44613072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EEAT thickness (EEATT)and its association with risk of diseases is influenced by age, gender and ethnicity. There is limited literature on EEATT values and associated risk factors in Asian- ndian population. The objective of the study was to study the correlation of EEATT with body fat percentage, visceral fat levels, lipid profile and fasting blood sugar levels in Asian-Indian population. Methodology: 195 overweight Asian-Indian individuals with body mass index between 25 to 35 and with no known medical conditions voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The preliminary screening of the participants in this cross-sectional study included body composition assessment and blood test. All the participants also underwent 2D Echocardiography to measure EEATT in parasternal view. The EEATT values were correlated with body weight, body mass index, visceral fat levels, body fat percentage, waist circumference, fasting blood sugar values and blood lipids. The results were analysed using Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation test. Results: EEATT showed a positive correlation with body weight (r=0.47, p=<0.005), body mass index (r=0.52, p=<0.005), waist circumference(r=0.72, p=<0.005), total body fat percentage (r=0.46, p=<0.005), visceral fat levels (r=0.77,p=<0.005), fasting blood sugar levels (r=0.35, p=<0.005), total cholesterol(r=0.29, p=<0.005), Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (r=0.33, p=<0.005), Triglycerides (r=0.31, p=<0.005) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (r=0.47, p=<0.005) Conclusion: Epicardial adipose tissue thickness measured by echocardiography, a reliable indicator of visceral fat and a marker of cardiovascular diseases showed good correlation with indicators of abdominal adiposity and visceral fat measured by Bio-impedance analysis in Asian- Indian population. The significant association with metabolic parameters and C-reactive protein indicate that epicardial adipose tissue is a reliable marker for cardiovascular diseases in overweight Asian-Indian population.","PeriodicalId":53534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46608705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
