The impact of inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers on the sympathetic nervous system in severe coronary atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectiveThe present study aimed at evaluating the association between sympathetic nervous system activation (SNS) and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). SYNTAX I score was calculated based on coronary angiography. Systemic activation of the SNS was estimated through circulating levels of norepinephrine (NE).

Systemic immune–inflammation index for predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The systemic immune–inflammation index (SII) is an emerging biomarker that provides an integrated measure of inflammation by incorporating neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts. Subgroup analyses, whether focusing on CABG alone or CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), both indicated an area under the HSROC curve of 0.78 (95% CI, 0.74–0.81).

Women-Specific Goalposts Urged for Coronary Bypass Surgery

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- Gender disparities in outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) might be addressed by sex-specific biomarker thresholds for perioperative myocardial injury, researchers suggested from a retrospective study. Compared.

Role of Biomarkers of Myocardial Injury to Predict Adverse Outcomes in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Background:Serum troponins and CK-MB (creatine kinase-MB) are readily detectable and reliable cardiac-specific biomarkers of subclinical myocardial injury. Patients were excluded if they had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, or had renal failure.

Abstract 4141170: Impact of Serum 5-Hydroxytryptophan Levels on 15-Year Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients

Circulation

The primary outcome was the incidence of MACE, including death, acute myocardial infarction, recurrent angina, congestive heart failure, coronary artery bypass grafting, stroke, planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), unplanned PCI, and atrial fibrillation.Results:During the 15-year follow-up, 232 patients (51.2%) experienced MACE.
