Existing research has established the pepsinogen ratio (PGR) as a complex biomarker, not only as an independent predictor for various gastrointestinal diseases but also in its association with atherosclerotic ...
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), is a serious form of coronary heart disease. The present study sought to investigate the impact of HIF-1α on AMI, along with its fundamental mechanism.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of global deaths. So, it is necessary to know the possible risk factors for each region. We aimed to assess the relationship between the risk of CVDs and s...
