This study is a parallel randomised, double-blind placebo - controlled trial which was conducted in Istanbul, Turkey.
BACKGROUND
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been, and still is the number 1 cause of deaths all over the world. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 1 of every 3 death
Eicosapentaenoic acid and statin therapy prevents cardiovascular events. However, the impact of these treatment in patients with in-stent neoatherosclerosis (NA) has not been clarified.
Drug-eluting stent (DES) use has successfully offered a significant reduction of mid-term restenosis and repeat
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have higher risk of death and cardiovascular disease than general population. Treatment using statin has been decreased the risk of cardiovascular events in pre-dialysis CKD population. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid (FA) lowers the risk of
Background:
Sudden cardiac death (SCD), also termed sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), accounts for approximately 15 percent of the total mortality in industrialized countries. In Europe, the incidence of out-of-hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) attended sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is estimated to
The overall objective is to determine whether the predictive value of plasma concentrations of selected nutrient biomarker(s) of food intake determined using a single plasma sample either alone or in combination are stronger, objective predictors of subsequent death from CHD or MI compared to
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the most common form of coronary revascularization worldwide. Although PCI is a safe procedure, it may have multiple risks including bleeding, coronary dissection, abrupt vessel closure, and myocardial necrosis. It is estimated that approximately
Results of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials indicate that moderate doses of n-3 unsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD) and may improve prognosis. N-3 fatty acids have several beneficial cardiovascular properties (1-3), including antiatherothrombotic,
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins are sensitive markers for myocardial injury in ACS and even a minor elevation of cardiac troponins is associated with an increased risk for future adverse coronary events. However, a detectable troponin release occurs only in a part of patients admitted with ACS. The
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the cause for over 19 million deaths in the US annually with coronary artery disease accounting for most of this mortality burden.1 Despite major advances in the treatment of coronary heart disease patients, a large number of victims of the disease who are
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins are sensitive markers for myocardial injury in ACS and even a minor elevation of cardiac troponins is associated with an increased risk for future adverse coronary events. However, a detectable troponin release occurs only in a part of patients admitted with ACS. The
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in North America (1). Uncontrolled platelet activation, adhesion and aggregation initiated by vessel wall plaque rupture are thought to be responsible for acute vascular occlusion in many situations (2-5). Although many platelet inhibition
The patients. Randomisation. Patients with persistent AF will be recruited from clinic attendees and in-patient hospital patients at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School. A total of 150 patients with AF of more than 7 days duration and scheduled for elective direct current cardioversion will be
Epidemiological studies from many countries including Finland, Italy, Japan, and The Netherlands have suggested that an increased intake of dietary fish or fish oil rich in the long-chain polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is
Whether dietary omega-3 (or n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids are causally related to risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a major, unresolved question in preventive cardiology. Essential n-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; C20:5, n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6, n-3) on one
