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 ...
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 ...
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- ...
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 ...
Evaluating The Effects Of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy On Pathophysiological Pathways Of Heart Failure Using Surrogate Biomarkers
(Via Medica, 2018)
Background: Several studies have investigated the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on heart failure (HF), but none have evaluated the pathophysiological pathways involved in a single group of patients. ...
Permanent Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Infections: Seven Years of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Experience of a Single Center
(Wiley, 2010)
Background: Increasing evidence-based indications for the implantation of permanent pacemakers (PMs) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have led to an increase in the rate of device infections. The aim of ...
The Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of First Hour Glycogen Phosphorylase Isoenzyme BB Level in Acute Coronary Syndrome
(Via Medica, 2011)
Background: Evaluating patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a time consuming, expensive and problematic process in the emergency department. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and ...
Total White Blood Cell Count Is Associated With The Presence, Severity And Extent Of Coronary Atherosclerosis Detected By Dual-Source Multislice Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography
(Via Medica, 2011)
Background: Total white blood cell (WBC) count has been consistently shown to be an independent risk factor and predictor for future cardiovascular outcomes, regardless of disease status in coronary artery disease (CAD). ...
The Use Of Amplatzer Vascular Plug (R) To Treat Coronary Steal Due To Unligated Thoracic Side Branch Of Left Internal Mammary Artery: Four Year Follow-Up Results
(Via Medica, 2012)
Left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is the most commonly used graft during coronary bypass surgery. LIMA side branches are clipped during surgery in order to prevent coronary steal. In cases of patent LIMA side branches, ...
