NLR was correlated with important prognostic markers in PAH such as NYHA FC, BNP and TAPSE. This simple marker may be useful in the assessment of disease severity in patients with PAH.
The results of the study show that in patients with PAH, the presence of severe TR is associated with an overestimated PASP measurement on echocardiography.
We found characteristic patterns of plaque distribution at coronary bifurcations. Proximal segments demonstrated larger plaque volume than distal segments, despite similar percentages of plaque burden. Plaque volume accumulated opposite to the flow divider, especially in distal segments. The side-branch take-off angle in the cross-sectional plane influenced the plaque distribution in bifurcation lesions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
