Correlation between GDF-15 gene polymorphism and the formation of collateral circulation in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Summary Objective: To explore the correlation between growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) -3148C/G polymorphism and the formation of collateral circulation in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Han population of Taiyuan area. Method: The present study included 92 STEMI patients a...

Which Coronary Lesions Are More Prone to Cause Acute Myocardial Infarction?

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (2), 2017
Abstract Background: According to common belief, most myocardial infarctions (MIs) are due to the rupture of nonsevere, vulnerable plaques with < 70% obstruction. Data from recent trials challenge this belief, suggesting that the risk of coronary occlusion is, in fact, much higher after severe stenos...

Collateral blood vessels in acute ischemic stroke: a physiological window to predict future outcomes

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 74 (8), 2016
ABSTRACT Collateral circulation is a physiologic pathway that protects the brain against ischemic injury and can potentially bypass the effect of a blocked artery, thereby influencing ischemic lesion size and growth. Several recent stroke trials have provided information about the role of collaterals in ...

Truncus arteriosus: surviving at 46 years without intervention

West Indian med. j; 62 (3), 2013
