Abstract

To investigate the relationship between staging of retinal artery lesions and the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a Chinese population. A total of 436 Chinese patients with ACS underwent coronary angiography and the eyes fundus examinations. All the patients were divided into three groups: group 1, no retinal artery lesions (n=111); group 2, retinal artery lesions of <Stage 2 (Stage 1-a broadening of the light reflex from the artery can be seen, with minimal or no arteriovenous compression; n=135); and group 3, retinal artery lesions of ≥Stage 2 (Stage 2-the changes similar to those in Stage 1, but more prominent, Stage 3-the arteries have a 'copper wire' appearance and this is much more arteriovenous compression, and Stage 4-the arteries have a 'silver wire' appearance and the arteriovenous crossing changes are more severe; n=190). The endpoints were main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke after 3-6 years of follow-up. There was no significant differences of the baseline data among the three groups. After 3-6 years of follow-up, we found that patients of group 3 had more MACCE and death than those of the group 1 or group 2. ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
