Predictive Value of Hematologic Parameters for Detecting Asymptomatic Graft Rejection After Heart Transplant: Preliminary Results
(2015)
Objectives: Hematologic parameters, such as mean platelet volume, red-cell distribution width, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, have prognostic value in multiple cardiac conditions such as stable angina pectoris, acute ...
Investigation of The Relationship Between Asthma and Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Carotid/Femoral Intima Media and Epicardial Fat Thickness Measurement
(2018)
Objective: Since asthma and atherosclerosis may share similar pathophysiological mechanism, this study is planned to investigate whether epicardial fat thickness (EFT), carotid and femoral intima media thicknesses, which ...
Preoperative Cardiac Risk Assessment in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplant Due to Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Should It Be Different?
(2017)
Objectives: Liver transplant is a high-risk surgery for cardiac events. The risk of 30-day major cardiac adverse events is estimated at more than 5%. In this retrospective study, we evaluated our preoperative cardiac risk ...
Assessment of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness in Prediabetes
(2016)
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose intolerance (IGT) are predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We tested the hypothesis that epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), ...
Three-Dimensional Right Ventricular Strain Versus Volume Quantification in Heart Transplant Recipients in Relation to Pulmonary Artery Pressure
(2017)
Objectives: Residual pulmonary hypertension challenges the right ventricular function and worsens the prognosis in heart transplant recipients. The complex geometry of the right ventricle complicates estimation of its ...
Coronary Artery Disease Detected by Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography is Associated with Red Cell Distribution Width
(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 ...
Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Hemodialysis Patients
(2017)
Background: It is well-known that cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality is increased in hemodialysis patients. Epicardial fat thickness (EFT), which reflects visceral adiposity, has been suggested as a new cardiometabolic ...
Which Is Responsible for Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction in Non-Diabetic Patients with Metabolic Syndrome: Prediabetes or the Syndrome Itself
(2016)
Aims: Cardiac autonomic dysfunction (CAD) is associated with both prediabetes and metabolic syndrome (MS). Heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) are reliable 24-h Holter-ECG findings of cardiac ...
Effects of Carvedilol Compared to Nebivolol on Insulin Resistance and Lipid Profile in Patients With Essential Hypertension
(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 ...
Inappropriate Shock and Battery Switching to "End of Life" in A Patient with Biventricular ICD During Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(2016)
Presence of a cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a relative contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Biventricular ICDs are often used in the treatment of advanced heart ...
Effect of Post-Transplant Cardiac Angiographic Procedures on Post-Transplant Renal Function
(2022)
Background. Cardiac interventions often are performed before and after renal transplant for coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether post-transplant cardiac coronary procedures affect ...
Assessment of Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Arrhythmia Risk after Bariatric Surgery by P Wave/QT Interval Dispersion
(2018)
The association of obesity with atrial fibrillation (AF) and with ventricular arrhythmias is well documented.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction by a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has ...
Plasma Osteopontin Concentration is Elevated in Patients with Coronary Bare Metal Stent Restenosis
(2018)
Objective: Osteopontin is a component of atherosclerotic lesions, secreted by monocytes, macrophages and endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells, which together are responsible for neointimal proliferation. We examined ...
In-Hospital Bleeding and Mortality in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Treated with Tirofiban and Potent P2Y12 Inhibitors
(2022)
Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine whether potent agents affect in-hospital bleeding and mortality compared to clopidogrel in patients with the acute coronary syndrome in whom tirofiban and P2Y12 inhibitor are ...
Assessment of Epicardial Fat and Carotid Intima Media Thickness in Gestational Hypertension
(2018)
AimGestational hypertension (GHT) is a common disorder of pregnancy characterized by new onset hypertension without the presence of detectable proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and ...
