OC09_04 Improvement of the Diagnostic Performance of N13-Ammonia PET by Quantifying Coronary Calcium for the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is the standard technique for assessing myocardial function, myocardial ischemia, and myocardial blood flows (MBF), but provides limited information on the anatomy of cardiac structures, while Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) is a well-validated imaging modality for the assessment of myocardial anatomy and quantification of coronary artery calcium (CAC). CAC is an early marker of atherosclerosis and usually precedes the development of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). (Source: CVD Prevention and Control)

OC10_01 Analysis of Small Intramyocardial Vessels of the Heart in Chronic Cocaine Users After Sudden Death
Cocaine produces its stimulating effect by blocking the reuptake od adrenaline , noradrenaline and dopamine by the presynaptic terminals and Thus activating the sympathic nervous system Which prompts two major effects: tachycardia and coronary vasoconstriction . Finally , cocaine blocks sodium channels and HERG potassium channels, and plays a major role Thus in severely impairing the genesis and propagation of the cardiac impulse , giving rise to the arrhythmia associated with cocaine use.

OC10_07 A Close Correlation of Thrombin Receptor Mediated Platelet Aggregation With Clopidogrel Responses
Thrombin, which binds to protease activated receptor (PAR)-1 or 4 of platelet surface, is a more potent agonist of platelet aggregation than ADP. During the activation of platelets and coagulation cascade, ADP and thrombin are closely interrelated, and potentiate platelet aggregation and thrombus formation each other.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Northern Nigeria and many other parts of the world. Although right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction was found to be common in PPCM, RV diastolic dysfunction (RVDD) and its determinants have not been previously described.

OC11_01 Predictive Value of Frequent Premature Ventricular Complexes During Exercise Testing, on Long-Term Combined Arrhythmia Outcome
Although previous studies have shown that frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in patients with established heart disease are associated with increased risk of cardiac mortality, the association between PVCs and the incidence of malignant arrhythmias remains unclear.

OC11_03 Repeated Forms of Premature Ventricular Complexes and Their Mean Coupling Interval Are Predictors of Imminent Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia: Usefulness of Short Term RR Interval Time Series Obtained From Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
A number of approaches used to predict ventricular tachyarrhythmias (tachycardia VT or fibrillation VF) from the analysis of RR intervals consider only sinus (NN) beats, without taking into account premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). The method known as heartprint, which analyzes PVCs characteristics and their relation to NN intervals, has prognostic value for fatal arrhythmias on long recordings of RR intervals ( > 70,000 beats).

OC11_04 Antithrombotic Therapy in Relation to Symptoms in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Observations From The Gloria-AF Registry Program
Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) at high risk of stroke and cardiovascular events may have few, if any, symptoms. Asymptomatic patients may have an unfavorable prognosis when undertreated. While oral anticoagulation (OAC) is highly effective in preventing stroke in patients with AF, limited data are available on the use of non-Vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) among those who are asymptomatic.

Extremes in sleep duration ( ≤5 and ≥9 hours a day) have been associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, inflammatory biomarkers and worse outcomes. Whether the association between sleep duration and outcomes is independent of traditional CVD risk factors, inflammation and coronary ar tery disease (CAD) severity is unclear.
