Impact of ACE and ApoE polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion: Correlation with myocardial single photon emission computed tomographic imaging
(2009)Coronary artery disease is associated with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. In this study, we evaluated the correlation of angiotensin l-converting enzyme (ACE) (I/D) and ApoE gene polymorphisms (E2, E3, ...

Lack of association between endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and risk of premature coronary artery disease in the Greek population
(2008)Objective - Genetic polymorphisms in the gene for endothelial nitric oxide synthase have been considered as potential risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease in some populations. Methods - We studied ...

Lack of association between the platelet glycoprotein Ia C807T gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis
(2007)Background: The platelet-collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP) la/lla plays a crucial role in the adhesion of platelets to fibrillar collagen, an event contributing to the pathogenesis of thrombosis. The C807T polymorphism ...

Metabolic syndrome and its components as predictors of all-cause mortality and coronary heart disease in type 2 diabetic patients
(2007)Background: There is no consistent evidence regarding the prognostic value of metabolic syndrome (MS) in predicting all-cause mortality and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk among type 2 diabetic patients. We sought to ...

Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging in patients after coronary revascularization
(2008)Coronary revascularization procedures (coronary artery bypass graft - CABG surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention - PCI) are widely used in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). By assessing myocardial perfusion, ...
