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 ...
Effect Of Age And Plaque Morphology On Diagnostic Accuracy Of Dual Source Multidetector Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
(2014)
Background Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography represents one of the most exciting technological revolutions in cardiac imaging and it has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of coronary artery ...
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- ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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). ...
