Background: Prolactin is an identified marker associated with atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic process and hence the macrovascular complications are causes for high mortality and morbidity rates among people with diabetes.Aim: To assess the relationship between serum prolactin and cardiovascular risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Subjects and methods: A case–contr...

Background: Mortality and morbidity after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain high even when myocardial reperfusion is successful. Thus, additional approaches are warranted. Erythropoietin (EPO) was found to be a cytoprotective molecule that might represent a novel strategy to limit the infarct size.Aim of the work: To investigate serum erythropoietin level and its relation to infarct size in Egyptian patients with AMI.Methods...
