This study aimed to examine the predictive value of the C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) for amputation risk in diabetic foot infection. Data from 178 patients were retrospectively examined. We found the cut point value of 15.45 according to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to show the predictive value of CAR for amputation risk in the overall population. We then divided the patients into two groups low (<15.45, n = 96) and high risk (≥15.45, n = 82) according to their CAR value. Matching based on propensity scores produced 64 patients in each group and showed that the amputation rate was high in the high-risk groups (50 vs 25%, P = .003). In the multivariate analysis in the matching group, previous amputation, antibiotic therapy in the last 3 months, and CAR (Odds ratio [OR]: 1.30, 95%Confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.45, P < .001) were independent predictors of amputation. These parameters may be useful to predict amputation risk in these patient groups.","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"391-397"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138290117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although its pathogenetic chain is far to be completely understood, myocardial fibrosis and microvascular dysfunction play a prominent role in the clinical history of patients with SSc. Bearing in mind that it is one of the main causes of death and disabilities for SSc patients, an early screening has become mandatory at time of diagnosis, and then every year during the follow-up. Moreover, the prevalence of coronary heart disease in SSc resulted comparable, in older patients, to that of patients with type 2 diabetics. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), a well-known early echocardiographic marker of cardiac dysfunction, has been recently shown to be a useful tool predicting prognosis and effects of therapy in SSc. Target therapy for primary cardiac disease in SSc is so far not well established. Inhibitor of IL-1 and IL-6 are under investigation. The acute infusion of iloprost ameliorates the baseline depressed GLS of left ventricle in patients with SSc, but this beneficial effect remains to be confirmed during chronic treatment.","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"33197251331652"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143699430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that TyG (P < .001) was an independent predictor of MACEs in AS patients after TAVI.

Recent guidelines have established that PCIs conducted at non-surgical on-site (NSOS) facilities have low complication rates and outcomes comparable to surgical on-site (SOS) centers. However, differing perspectives in the growing literature continue to sustain controversy. A thorough literature review was performed across four databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science, to identify studies comparing outcomes between hospitals. The primary endpoints were: 30-day mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), cerebral vascular accident (CVA), emergency coronary artery bypass surgery (eCABG), rePCI, and target vessel revascularization (TVR). The final search yielded 22 studies, including a total of 2,181,897 patients. The majority of patients (71.9%) underwent PCI in SOS hospitals. There was a significant association of increased eCABG (OR = 1.99; 95% CI: 1.08-3.67) and rePCI (OR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.37-1.91) rates in SOS hospitals. However, 30-day mortality (OR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.53-1.54), MI (OR = 1.08; 95% CI: 0.91-1.28), CVA (OR = 1.13; 95% CI: 0.69-1.86), and TVR (OR = 1.06; 95% CI: 0.92-1.21) showed no significant difference between hospitals. Subgroup analyses among clinical trials and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients found no significant associations. Conclusively, this meta-analysis provides updated insight into the impact of SOS on PCI outcomes, having no difference except for eCABG and rePCI rates.","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"33197251326354"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The association between structural abnormalities in the Achilles tendon and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) was investigated in a cross-sectional study. We conducted this study on 353 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Ultrasound was used to examine the thickness and structural abnormalities of the Achilles tendon. Their CAD severity was assessed using the SYNTAX score before the first PCI. Abnormal findings on Achilles tendon ultrasonography were observed in 21 patients (5.9%). The SYNTAX score was compared between patients with and without abnormal Achilles tendon structure. The SYNTAX score was significantly higher in patients who had structural abnormalities but without thickening of the Achilles tendon (P = .002). Multivariate analysis revealed that abnormal Achilles tendon structure was one of the independent risk factors for an elevated SYNTAX score. In patients with CAD who underwent PCI, structural abnormalities in the Achilles tendon identified by ultrasonography were independently associated with an increase in the SYNTAX score.","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"33197251326624"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
