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). ...
Tissue Doppler Echocardiography Can Be A Useful Technique To Evaluate Atrial Conduction Time
(Via Medica, 2012)
Background: The main purpose of this study is to determine the correlation of inter- and intraatrial conduction times between the electrophysiological and tissue Doppler echocardiographic measurements, and to evaluate the ...
Transcatheter Coil Embolization Of A Coronary Artery-Left Ventricular Fistula Associated With Single Coronary Artery Anomaly
(2014)
Single coronary artery anomaly associated with coronary fistula is a rare entity. Transcatheter coil embolization is the treatment of choice for coronary artery fistulas. In this case report, we describe a patient with ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nonsustained Atrial Fibrillation In Ischemic Stroke Patients And Stroke‐Free Controls From The Perspective Of Stroke Pathophysiology
(2016)
Background Short‐lasting (<30 s), nonsustained episodes of atrial fibrillation (NS‐AF) are considered a risk factor for future development of paroxysmal or persistent AF. Nonetheless, their causal role in stroke pathogenesis ...
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. ...
Chemerin Is Not Associated With Subclinical Atherosclerosis Markers In Prediabetes And Diabetes
(2016)
Objective: Chemerin is a novel adipokine that is correlated with adipocyte differentiation, glucose metabolism, and inflammation. We aimed to investigate the relation between serum chemerin level and subclinical atherosclerosis ...
