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 ...
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 ...
Assesment of Spatial QRS-T Angle in Patients with Cardiac Syndrome X
(2019)
Objective: Cardiac syndrome x (CSX) is defined as typical exertional angina, one or more abnormal cardiac stress test(s), and normal coronary arteries after exclusion of spontaneous or inducible epicardial coronary spasm. ...
The Effect of Renal Transplantation on Cardiac Functions
(2020)
Chronic renal failure is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular poor outcome. Despite advances in dialysis and renal transplantation, these patients still have high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of ...
T1 Mapping by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Multidimensional Speckle-Tracking Strain by Echocardiography for the Detection of Acute Cellular Rejection in Cardiac Allograft Recipients
(2019)
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that echocardiographic strain imaging, by tracking subtle alterations in myocardial function, and cardiac magnetic resonance T1 mapping, by quantifying tissue ...
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 ...
Adequacy of Infective Endocarditis Prophylaxis Before Dental Procedures among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
(2019)
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition with high morbidity and mortality. The current IE guidelines recommend antibiotic prophylaxis only in patients with certain cardiac conditions and before certain ...
Subclinical myocardial dysfunction in liver transplant candidates determined using speckle-tracking imaging
(2019)
Objective: There are various cardiovascular abnormalities in end-stage liver disease (ESLD). In these patients, left ventricular (LV) systolic function is normal at rest but deteriorates during stress. This deterioration ...
Interrelation of RDW and coronary flow reserve in patient with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
(2014)
Objective: Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) impairs and reduces coronary flow reserve (CFR). High level of red cell distribution width (RDW) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, in ...
Epicardial adipose tissue thickness and plasma homocysteine in patients with metabolic syndrome and normal coronary arteries
(2014)
Background: Increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness and plasma homocysteine levels are associated with Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and coronary artery disease. The majority of patients with MS have subclinical or manifest ...
The effects of a low international normalized ratio on thromboembolic and bleeding complications in patients with mechanical mitral valve replacement
(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 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 ...
