Circadian Blood Pressure Pattern And Cardiac Autonomic Functions: Different Aspects Of Same Pathophysiology
(Aves Yayincilik, 2011)
Arterial blood pressure fluctuates with a pattern that follows a circadian rhythm, with a peak in the early morning hours and a trough during nighttime. Nocturnal dipping of arterial blood pressure is part of this normal ...
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 And Clinical Utility Of Echocardiographic Indices For Detecting Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction In Patients With Coronary Artery Disease And Normal Ejection Fraction
(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2011)
Objective: The aim of present study was to assess the clinical utility and diagnostic accuracy of diastolic dysfunction criteria that were recommended in current American Society of Echocardiography and European Association ...
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 ...
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 ...
Risk Stratification in Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Current Perspectives
(Via Medica, 2010)
The clinical goals of risk stratification of sudden death are to identify subjects who are at high risk of and eventually to reduce the incidence of sudden death. Numerous studies have described risk stratification techniques ...
Güncel Kılavuzlar Işığında Pulmoner Hipertansiyonda Tedavi Algoritmaları
(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2010)
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a clinical syndrome that is often diagnosed late and is associated with a progressive clinical deterioration and death. However, over the past ten years there has been a dramatic ...
