Introduction: Heparin resistance (HR) is defined as need for higher than normal heparin doses to induce sufficient anticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. The definitions, causes and effects of HR are still controversial in cardiac surgery practice. Our study specifically compared adult patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) surgery who have received preoperative low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) with a control group who had not received any anticoagulants before surgery. Material- Methods: Data were retrospectively reviewed from adult patients who undergone isolated on-pump CABG surgery. Patients were stratified into 4 groups according on medical regimen and presence of HR. The groups receiving preoperative LMWH was showen as LMWHþ, where as the groups who does not receive preoperative LMWH was shown as LMWH -. The groups presense intraoperative HR was showen as HRþ and the groups without intraoperative HR was showen as HR-. Results: Group 1 (n¼55) (LMWH-/HR-), Group 2 (n¼5) (LMWH-/ HRþ), Group 3 (n¼55) (LMWHþ/HR-), Group 4 (n¼24) (LMWHþ/ HRþ). All patients in Group 3 and 4 had been treated with subcutaneous injections of enoxaparin 0,01cc/kg body weight twice daily for at least 3 days prior to surgery, and the last dose was given 12 hours before surgery. Compared to the patients who had not received any anticoagulants preoperatively, patients who were treated with preoperative LMWH developed significantly higher ratio of intraoperative HR and compared to other groups, mortality rate was significantly higher in Group 4(LMWHþ/ HRþ). Discussion: Our study is a rare research which specificaly compared adult patients undergoing on-pump CABG surgery who have received

In conclusion, preoperative treatment of patients undergoing on-pump CABG surgery with LMWH preoperatively may cause HR. Corrective and preventive arrangements with close follow-up should be performed in this

Conclusions: The severity of ED is an independent factor predicting the extent of CAD. The early detection of ED enables to make a cardiovascular evaluation. Therefore, taking the cardiovascular risk factors under an aggressive treatment may contribute to prevent the cardiovascular cases which may develop in the future.

Objective: Erectile dysfunction (ED) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are closely related as a result of endothelial dysfunction leading to the restriction of blood flow. ED is a potential independent risk factor of CAD. We investigated the prevalence and severity of ED, the extent of CAD and the time interval between the symptoms of ED and CAD in the stable coronary artery patients. Methods: 161 patients applied coronary angiography were divided into two groups according to SYNTAX score as group 1 (n¼81) SYNTAX score 22, and group 2 (n¼80) SYNTAX score >22. The prevalence and severity of ED was determined by using The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Results: The prevalence of ED was 43.2% in group 1 and 61.3% in group 2 (P¼0.022). The score of IIEF was 23.1 (15-29) in group 1, 19.3 (6-29) in group 2; there was a significant difference (P¼0.000). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis carried out in order to determine the independent predictors on Syntax score, it was found that LDL (odds ratio: 1.032, 95% confidence interval: 1.009-1.055, P¼0.007) and IIEF score (odds ratio: 0.825, 95% confidence interval: 0.733-0.928, P¼0.001) were the independent predictors. The time between the symptoms of ED and CAD 30.1 4.8 months in group 1, and 40.5 4.3 months in group 2 (P¼0.000).
Objective: We investigated whether serum bilirubin level (a marker of heme oxygenase activity) is a predictor of trombus burden in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: Patients (n ¼ 229; male 72.9%; mean age 63 13.4 years) who were admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was defined as low thrombus burden and group 2 was defined as high thrombus burden. Results: Patients with high-thrombus burden had higher total bilirubin levels (14.36 [4.27 e 22.91] vs 7.69 [2.39 e 20.34] mmol/L, p¼<.001) and direct bilirubin levels (3.08 [2.13 e 8.38] vs 1.71 [0.51 e 6.49] mmol/L, p¼<.001). At multivariate analysis, total bilirubin (odds ratio: 1.054, 95% confidence interval: 1.031 e 1.079, p¼<.001) was the independent predictor of high thrombus burden. Conclusions: Total bilirubin level is independently associated with high thrombus burden in patients with STEMI.
