CD36 was described nearly 30 years ago as “glycoprotein IV†the fourth major band of 88KD observed on SDS-PAGE of platelet membrane (1). It is present on many mammalian cell types: microvascular endothelium; professi...
Takayasu’s arteritis is a disease of unknown etiology primarily affecting women aged less than 40 years. It is mainly
seen in Asians and Africans. This condition is an aorto-arteritis and involves aorta and its major...
During the last eight years, 34% of the cases have been congenital; out of which only 0.7% have been Ebstein’s Anomaly. In the literature they have mentioned that the male and female ratio is 1:1, but there are more fe...
Introduction Primary cardiac tumours are rare with autopsy incidence of less than 0.1 percent. We present our experience on surgical treatment of such tumours.
Methods Since 2001, fifteen patients underwent surgical i...
Background and Aims: : Coronary angiogram detects anatomical lesion, however, has limited ability
to assess physiological signifcance. Fractional flow reserve is used to determine functional signifcance
of stenosis an...
