Item Parathyroidectomy improves cardiovascular risk factors in normocalcemic and hypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism(2019) Beysel, Selvihan; Caliskan, Mustafa; Kizilgul, Muhammed; Apaydin, Mahmud; Kan, Seyfullah; Ozbek, Mustafa; Cakal, Erman; 31068134BackgroundParathyroidectomy has ameliorated cardiovascular risk factors in patients with hypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), but the effect of parathyroidectomy on normocalcemic PHPT is not exactly known. This case-controlled study aimed to investigate the effect of parathyroidectomy on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with normocalcemic and hypercalcemic PHPT.MethodsSubjects with normocalcemic PHPT (n=35), age- and sex-matched hypercalcemic PHPT (n=60) and age- and sex-matched control (n=60) were included. Cardiometabolic disorders were investigated with traditional cardiometabolic risk factors and the Framingham cardiovascular risk score (CRS) before and 6months after parathyroidectomy.ResultsDiabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance, osteoporosis, having fractures were similarly increased in the hypercalcemic and normocalcemic PHPT groups (p>0.05) compared with the controls (p<0.05). Blood pressures, glucose metabolism (glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR) and lipid profiles were similarly increased in the PHPT groups (p>0.05) compared with the controls (p<0.05). After parathyroidectomy, blood pressures, serum total cholesterol, and HOMA-IR were decreased in both PHPT groups (p<0.05). CRS was lower in the controls (5.743.24, p<0.05). After parathyroidectomy, CRS was decreased in the normocalcemic (11.98 +/- 10.11 vs. 7.37 +/- 4.48) and hypercalcemic (14.62 +/- 11.06 vs. 8.05 +/- 7.72) PHPT groups. Increased blood pressures were independent predictors of serum iPTH.Conclusion p id=Par4 The normocalcemic and hypercalcemic PHPT groups had similarly increased cardiovascular risk factors, even independently of serum calcium. Parathyroidectomy ameliorated the increased cardiovascular risk factors in both normocalcemic and hypercalcemic PHPT.Item Heart-type fatty acid binding protein levels in elderly diabetics without known cardiovascular disease(2017) Beysel, S.; Kizilgul, M.; Ozbek, M.; Caliskan, M.; Kan, S.; Apaydin, M.; Ozcelik, O.; Cakal, E.; 29255351Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is reported to be higher in elderly diabetics. Serum heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) is a serum marker of myocardial ischemia. We aimed to investigate the association between serum H-FABP level and conventional cardiovascular risk factors, inflammatory markers and subclinical atherosclerosis in elderly diabetics without overt CVD. Patients and methods: A total of 50 elderly diabetic patients without overt CVD and 30 age-, sex- and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy controls were enrolled. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters, serum H-FABP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), fibrinogen and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were measured. Logistic regression analyses (adjustments for age, sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, BMI, blood pressure, lipid, blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, hs-CRP and fibrinogen) were performed to evaluate the association between H-FABP and cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis indices. Results: Serum fibrinogen (421.50±85.52 mg/dL vs 319.17±30.77 mg/dL, p=0.023), CIMT (0.70±0.12 mm vs 0.59±0.06 mm, p<0.001) and hs-CRP (5.72±4.50 mg/dL vs 1.60±0.72 mg/dL, p<0.001) were significantly higher in diabetic patients than controls. The mean serum H-FABP level did not differ between groups (1571.79±604.60 ng/mL vs 1500.25±463.35 ng/mL, p=0.905). H-FABP was positively correlated with fibrinogen (r2=0.473, p<0.001), hs-CRP (r2=0.323, p=0.003) and CIMT (r2=0.467, p<0.001). After full adjustments, the serum H-FABP level was independently associated with an increase in the fibrinogen level (odds ratio [OR] =4.21, 95% confidence level [CI] =1.49-11.90). Conclusion: Serum H-FABP was similar in the elderly diabetic patients without known CVD when compared with the nondiabetic control group. H-FABP does not possess a high diagnostic value as a cardiovascular marker when used alone; however, it may add supplementary information in patients with a high fibrinogen level. © 2017 Beysel et al.Item Association Between Mitral Valve Prolapse, Migraine, and White Matter Hyperintensities on Magnetic Resonance Imaging(2018) Avci, Aynur Yilmaz; Toprak, Munire Kilinc; Lakadamyali, Liatioe; Akinci, SinanObjective: Migraine is linked with an elevation in vascular risk factors, ischemic stroke, and a variety of constitutional brain lesions. However, the pathogenesis of this relationship is still inexplicit. The link between cardiac diseases and comorbid migraine-ischemic stroke might be a vascular disease involving both heart and brain. In this study, an association between mitral valve prolapse (MVP), migraine, and the presence of brain white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) were evaluated among adult subjects with migraine headache devoid of any traditional vascular risk factors. Materials and Methods: Four hundred subjects (200 subjects with migraine headache, 200 healthy controls; age range 18-50 years) were incorporated in the retrospective study. Existence of a headache compatible with migraine was diagnosed according to the International Headache Society-2 criteria. The participants were devoid of any known comorbid diseases, vascular risk factors or inflammatory diseases. All patients, both those with migraine and controls were screened with echocardiography to assess for MVP and with brain magnetic resonance imaging co evaluate the presence of any WMHs. Results: The prevalence of MVP was found to be higher in the migraine group (p<0.011). The odds ratio (OR) for the presence of MVP in patients with migraine compared with controls was 2.44 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25-4.74; p=0.0086]. The OR for the presence of WMHs in patients with migraine compared with controls was 5.88 (95% CI: 3.42-10.10; p<0.0001). After modifying for confounding factors, multiple linear regression analyses revealed that migraine was independently and positively associated with MVP (p=0.044), tricuspid regurgitation (p=0.003), and WMHs (p<0.001), and mitral regurgitation and migraine was independently and positively connected with WMHs (p<0.005 and p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: MVP is found CO be independently associated with migraine when compared with controls. Therefore, we suggest that MVP might have an association with migraine. Nevertheless, we could not demonstrate any correlation between MVP and WMHs. Hence, we suggest that MVP might nor be involved in the evolution of WMHs in migraine
