Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a major public health challenge and the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The elucidation of CVD pathogenesis, as well as the identification of efficient strategies for their prevention and treatment, have been the subject of intense research in recent

Study protocol Objective Abnormal platelet function remains one of the main causes of severe bleeding during cardiac surgery, especially in the era of widespread evolution in antiplatelet therapy as standard of care in cardiac surgery patients.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a disease with high mortality, morbidity and economic burden. Usually, it is caused by ischemic heart disease and atherosclerotic plaque rupture in the coronary arteries causing platelet activation, aggregation and thrombus formation. For decades, antiplatelet agents
Cardiac palliative/ correction surgeries in the newborns, infants, and children involve significant morbidity and mortality risks. Kidney function is frequently affected from cardiothoracic surgery in these children. Studies identify the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) to be approximately 54%
Cesarean delivery has become the most common surgical procedure in the US, with over 1.2 million cesarean deliveries performed each year. The addition of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to a post-cesarean analgesic regimen has been shown to improve the quality of post-cesarean
BACKGROUND
Part one:
Heart transplantation (HTX) is an excellent treatment of end stage heart failure with a mean survival of approximately 15.6 years (1). Long-term survival remains a challenge. With improvement of immunosuppressive therapy, incidences of acute cellular rejection (ACR) have
Background
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a platelet P2Y12 inhibitor is mandatory in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clopidogrel is the most widely used P2Y12 inhibitor with class I recommendation. However, clopidogrel is a pro-drug which has highly
1. Introduction:
Platelet reactivity is closely involved in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, despite the development of newer and more effective antiplatelet drugs (among other therapeutic interventions), the risk of ischemic events recurrence after an episode of ACS
Herbal medicine products are dietary supplements that people take to improve their health. Many herbs have been used for a long time for claimed health benefits. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, beverages, extracts and fresh or dried plants. Herbal medicines have been associated with
Antiplatelet therapy is the cornerstone in the management of patients with ACS. Aspirin interferes platelet aggregation activity by decreasing thromboxane synthesis through inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. Low-dose (75-325mg/day) aspirin has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of
INTRODUCTION Glutamine (GLN) is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, and commonly known as a non-essential amino acid due to the ability of most cells to produce it. It has many essential metabolic functions in the organism; it is an energy substrate for most cells (especially for
Reversal of the Anti-platelet Effects of Ticagrelor: REVERSAL study
The fatality of stent thrombosis (ST) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is approximately 50% and clopidogrel is an important anti-platelet drug for prevention of ST.
Objective:
The effect of antiplatelet therapy is impaired among patients, who recently underwent on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. The impact of hybrid coronary revascularization using minimal invasive surgical techniques on the antiplatelet effect of aspirin and clopidogrel remains
Statins, a class of hydroxyl methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors that lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, are commonly prescribed to patients with the metabolic syndrome or those with multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors when lifestyle changes fail to achieve LDL targets to
The combination of clopidogrel and aspirin has been the mainstay treatment strategy to prevent ischemic events in a wide spectrum of patients with high-risk coronary artery disease. Multiple lines of evidence have demonstrated that patients who are poor responders or who have high on-clopidogrel
