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 ...
Evaluation of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients with Strain Echocardiography
(2015)
Objectives: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by several metabolic abnormalities that may lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, and atherosclerosis which are associated with chronic inflammatory processes ...
Hematological Parameters Can Predict the Extent of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease
(2015)
Aside from traditional factors (e.g., diabetes, age, and hypertension), some hematological parameters, such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), and mean platelet volume (MPV), ...
Association Between Coronary Flow Reserve and Exercise Capacity
(2015)
Introduction: Reduced exercise capacity is of clinical importance. Sometimes no corresponding cardiovascular disease can be found to explain this condition. We hypothesized that coronary microvascular dysfunction may have ...
Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Its Relation with Cardiovascular Diseases in Turkish Population
(2015)
Mediterranean diet (MD) is considered a model for healthy eating. However, prospective evidence in Turkey evaluating the relationship between MD and cardiovascular events is scarce. We surveyed the adherence of Alanya ...
Assessment of Myocardial Mechanics in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease and Renal Transplant Recipients Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
(2015)
Objectives: Velocity vector imaging allows quantitation of myocardial strain and strain rate from 2-dimensional images based on speckle tracking echocardiography. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in myocardial ...
Implantation of A Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator Device in A Patient with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava
(2015)
Presence of a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is generally clinically asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during central venous catheterization. However, PLSVC may cause technical difficulties during cardiac ...
Comparison of Carvedilol and Metoprolol for Preventing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy after Coronary Angiography
(2015)
Aims: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. Oxidative stress and vasoconstriction might play key roles in its pathogenesis. In a few experimental ...
The Effects of Niacin on Inflammation in Patients with Non-ST Elevated Acute Coronary Syndrome
(2015)
Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of niacin on high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and cholesterol levels in non-ST elevated acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients.
Methods: In ...
Effects of Three Month Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment on Electrocardiographic, Echocardiographic and Overnight Polysomnographic Parameters in Newly Diagnosed Moderate/Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients
(2015)
The objective of the study was to determine the effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy on left ventricular (LV) function and electrocardiographic parameters in newly diagnosed moderate/severe ...
Diabetes and cardiac autonomic neuropathy: Clinical manifestations, cardiovascular consequences, diagnosis and treatment
(2015)
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a frequent chronic complication of diabetes mellitus with potentially life-threatening outcomes. CAN is caused by the impairment of the autonomic nerve fibers regulating heart rate, ...
Coronary anatomy, anatomic variations and anomalies: a retrospective coronary angiography study
(2015)
INTRODUCTION The incidence of coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) varies from 0.2% to 8.4%. Knowledge of such anatomical variations is important as coronary procedures are regularly performed these days. We aimed to find the ...
The effect of raloxifene on left ventricular hypertrophy in postmenopausal women: A prospective, randomized, and controlled study
(2015)
Objective: In healthy women, there is a progressive age-related increase in myocardial mass that is not seen in their male counterparts and occurs primarily in postmenopausal women. Raloxifene is a selective estrogen ...
Effects of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin Combination on Mechanical Myocardial and Microvascular Functions: A Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography and Two-Dimensional Strain Imaging Study
(2015)
AimPaclitaxel and carboplatin are frequently used chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies. Little is known about their effects on left ventricular mechanical and coronary microvascular functions.
...
Arrhythmogenic Evidence for Epicardial Adipose Tissue: Heart Rate Variability and Turbulence are Influenced by Epicardial Fat Thickness
(2015)
BackgroundEpicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a local source of various hormones, cytokines, and vasoactive substances affecting the myocardium. EAT contains abundant ganglionic plexi that interact with the autonomic nervous ...
