Karacaglar, Emir; Bal, Ugur; Hasirci, Senem; Yilmaz, Mustafa; Doganozu, Ersin; Coskun, Mehmet; Atar, Ilyas; Yildirir, Aylin; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2016)Objective: Increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the relationship between CAD detected ... -
Differential Influence of Vitamin D Analogs on Left Ventricular Mass Index in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
Sezer, Siren; Tutal, Emre; Bal, Zeynep; Uyar, Mehtap Erkmen; Bal, Ugur; Cakir, Ulkem; Acar, Nurhan Ozdemir; Haberal, Mehmet (2014)Purpose: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common feature in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Inadequate treatment of SHPT has been associated with cardiovascular complications, and vitamin D therapy might ... -
The effects of a low international normalized ratio on thromboembolic and bleeding complications in patients with mechanical mitral valve replacement
Bal, Ugur; Aydinalp, Alp; Yilmaz, Kerem; Ozcalik, Emre; Hasirci, Senem; Atar, Ilyas; Gultekin, Bahadir; Sezgin, Atilla; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2014)Background: Mechanical heart valve replacement has an inherent risk of thromboembolic events (TEs). Current guidelines recommend an international normalized ratio (INR) of at least 2.5 after mechanical mitral valve replacement ... -
Effects of Carvedilol Compared to Nebivolol on Insulin Resistance and Lipid Profile in Patients With Essential Hypertension
Ozyildiz, Ali Gokhan; Eroglu, Serpil; Bal, Ugur; Atar, Ilyas; Okyay, Kaan; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2017)Background and aim: Beta-blockers have unfavorable effects on metabolic parameters in hypertensive treatment. New generation beta-blockers with vasodilatory capabilities are superior to traditional beta-blockers, but studies ... -
