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 ...
Prasugrel Versus Clopidogrel for Acute Coronary Syndromes without Revascularization
(Massachusetts Medical Soc, 2012)
Background The effect of intensified platelet inhibition for patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation who do not undergo revascularization has not been delineated. Methods In this ...
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 ...
P-Wave Dispersion: What We Know Till Now?
(2016)
P-wave dispersion is defined as the difference between the maximum and the minimum P-wave duration recorded from multiple different-surface ECG leads. It has been known that increased P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion ...
