Background: In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), compared with those without DM, (CAD) tends to be more diffuse, complex, and associated with increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. The SYNTAX score (SS) uses coronary anatomy to objectively guide decisions regarding mode of revascularization. It characterizes the extent of coronary disease in terms of the number of lesions, their functional importance, and their complexity, while GENSINI Score accounts for the degree of artery disease in diabetic patients. Aim of Study: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between fructosamine level and the severity of CAD by calculating SYNTAX and GENSINI scores in diabetic patients presenting to Ain Shams University Hospital with symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome undergoing elective coronary angiography. Patient and Methods: This study was conducted on 200 diabetic patients with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing elective coronary angiography, with mean age 54.36±5.86 years ranging from 32 years to 65 years. The majority of them were males (64%). Results: Atotal of 200 diabetic patients were included in the study. Mean ± SD age was 54.36±5.86 years. Of the total 64% (128) were males, 74% (149) were hypertensive and 57% (113) were smokers.We found that higher fructosamine level was strongly correlated with disease severity and higher SYNTAXas well as GENSINI score as fructosamine and SYNTAX score ( r =0.668) and with GENSINI ( r =0.734) ( p - values <0.001 and <0.001 respectively). A significant increase in fructosamine level was notedin higher tertiles of SYNTAX and GENSINI scores ( p -values <0.001 and <0.001 respectively). There was also a positive correlation between both HbA1c and SYNTAX score ( r =0.636) and with GENSINI score ( r =0.716). Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between serum fructosamine level and severity of CAD assessed by the angiographically derived SYNTAX and GENSINI scores

Background: Persistence of significant secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after its repair concomitant with a left-sided valve replacement contributes to increased mortality and morbidity in the immediate and late postoperative periods. Thus, attention is paid to trace risk factors that might affect the success of the repair. However, the knowledge of the exact underlying risk factors and relevant mechanisms contributing to progression of secondary TR is less. Aim of Study: This study aims at identifying the effectiveness of adopting De Vega annuloplasty technique in dealing with cases of secondary severe TR in decreasing or abolishing it (over one year follow-up period) and evaluating the possible risk factors of failure of repair as well. As such, the purpose of addressing agents favoring the best accepted results of the nominated maneuver and planning the optimal surgical method of such secondary TR could be achieved. Patients and Methods: This retrospective observational non-randomized study included 31 patients who had repair of the tricuspid valve (TV) by De Vega annuloplasty technique. They presented with either mitral valve disease and associated secondary severe TR (double valve disease) or combined mitral and aortic valves disease and associated secondary severe TR (triple valve disease). They had been operated upon be either mitral valve replacement (MVR) and De Vega annuloplasty for the TV or combined MVR and aortic valve replacement (AVR) i.e., double valve replacement (DVR) and De Vega annuloplasty for the TV. Postoperative mortality, morbidity outcomes, overall hospital complications, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%), TR degree, functional clinical status, predictorsof failure of TV repair and overall one-year survival were evaluated. Results: Mean age was 37.25±7.31 years. The overall hospital complication rate was 25.80%. No mortality happened during the follow-up period (overall one-year survival rate was 100%). The cumulative duration of the study was 3.167 years. Significant improvement in the degree of TR, New Yok Heart Association (NYHA) classification and LVEF% was observed.
