Implantable cardioverter defibrillators for primary prevention in cardiomyopathies
CONCLUSIONS: When implanted for primary prevention in patients with cardiomyopathies over a mean period of 4.4 ± 3.1 years, appropriate ICD therapy was delivered in 32% patients. However, inappropriate therapy (14% patients) and complications (16% patients) were also common.PMID:38521121 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2024.03.005 (Source: Indian Heart J)

The potential influence of GSTT1 null genetic polymorphism on coronary artery disease: A pilot study in a South Indian cohort
Indian Heart J. 2024 Mar 18:S0019-4832(24)00047-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2024.03.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Indians are known to have the highest rates of coronary artery disease (CAD), with the conventional risk factors failing to explain the increased risk. Possible candidate genes to study both the environmental and genetic risk associated with CAD is the glutathione S-transferase (GST) family, as it is involved in detoxification.METHODS: This case-control assessed the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms in Indian patients with CAD. Fifty patients with CAD and 50 healthy volunteers were ge...

Prognostic values of SYNTAX score II in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention - Cohort study
CONCLUSION: The patients who had higher SYNTAX score II had more in hospital and 12 month mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). SYNTAX II score is a better predictor of in-hospital, and 12 month cardiovascular and all cause mortality.PMID:38452813 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2024.02.005 (Source: Indian Heart J)
