Objective: Various algorithms for predicting coronary atherosclerosis have been established, most of which are based on large epidemiologic and cohort studies. We examined the predictive value of various clinical and biochem ical markers for angiographically defined coronary...

Objective: It has been known that levels of GGT might be important, in coronary artery disease for long-term risk assessment and determining prognosis. Relationship between coronary artery disease and levels of GGT was found whereas relationship severity of coronary artery...

Aim: The aim was to determine if the malondialdehyde (MDA) and advanced oxidation products of protein (AOPPs) levels, which are oxidative stress parameters, can be used to determine the degree of coronary artery disease.

Materials and Methods: The...

Objective: Levels of C-reactive protein might be important, in coronary artery disease regarding long-term risk assessment and prognosis. It has been showed that coronary artery disease is associated with high levels of C-reactive protein whereas the relationship between...

Objective: The oxidative stress and renal vasoconstriction are considered to have an effect on the pathophysiology of contrast induced nephropathy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of contrast agents on serum creatinine, total antioxidant capacity and estimated...
