Assessment of the Relationship Between Non-Dipping Phenomenon and Heart Rate Turbulence
(Via Medica, 2012)
Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate cardiac autonornic function by heart rate turbulence (HRT) indices in normotensive and hypertensive individuals with either non-dipper or dipper type circadian ...
Effect of Antihypertensive Therapy on Endothelial Markers in Newly Diagnosed Stage 1 Hypertension: A Randomized Single-Centre Study
(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2014)
Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of olmesartan or nebivolol treatment on blood pressure and some endothelial function markers in newly diagnosed patients with stage 1 essential hypertension. ...
Baseline Aortic Pre-Ejection Interval Predicts Reverse Remodeling and Clinical Improvement After Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
(Via Medica, 2011)
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to reduce heart failure-related morbidity and mortality. However, approximately one in three patients do not respond to CRT. The aim of the current study ...
Atrial Myocardial Deformation Properties Are Temporarily Reduced After Cardioversion For Atrial Fibrillation And Correlate Well With Left Atrial Appendage Function
(Oxford Univ Press, 2008)
Aim This study was conducted to evaluate whether left atrial strain and strain rate correlate well with transesophageal parameters of stunning after atrial fibrillation. Methods and results Twenty-two consecutive patients ...
Demographics, Treatment And Outcomes Of Atrial Fibrillation In A Developing Country: The Population-Based Turkish Atrial Fibrillation (Traf) Cohort
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)
Aims Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly common in developed countries, there is limited information regarding its demographics, co-morbidities, treatments and outcomes in the developing countries. We present ...
Diagnostic Accuracy of 16- Versus 64-Slice Multidetector Computed Tomography Angiography In The Evaluation of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts: A Comparative Study
(Oxford Univ Press, 2012)
OBJECTIVES: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography, which is used for native coronary vessels and bypass graft (CABG) imaging is a non-invasive test. Here, we aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 16- ...
Increased Myocardial Vulnerability And Autonomic Nervous System Imbalance In Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2007)
Background: Obstructive steep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by the repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during steep, leading to significant hypoxia. Noninvasive evaluation of autonomic nervous system ...
Predictors of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation with Cryoballoon
(Via Medica, 2013)
Background: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is recommended for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) despite anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs). Radiofrequency ablation is widely accepted as an ...
Prolonged Tp-E Interval and Tp-E/Qt Correlates Well with Modified Rodnan Skin Severity Score in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
(Via Medica, 2016)
Background: Ventricular arrhythmias can be seen in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients and are thought to be a result of fibrosis or ischemia of the ventricular myocardium. Tp-e interval and Tp-e/QT ratio are electrocardiographic ...
Successful Fibrinolytic Treatment in an Old Patient with Acute Aortic Prosthetic Thrombosis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2008)
Thrombosis of mechanical heart valve prosthesis is a rare fatal complication after heart valve replacement. This report describes an old female patient with aortic prosthetic valve thrombosis who had a successful fibrinolytic ...
