Impact Of Diabetes Mellitus And Chronic Kidney Disease On Cardiovascular Outcomes And Platelet P2Y(12) Receptor Antagonist Effects In Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes: Insights From The Plato Trial
(2019)
Background-There are limited data on how the combination of diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects cardiovascular outcomes as well as response to different P2Y(12) receptor antagonists, which ...
Antithrombotic Treatment Patterns And Stroke Prevention In Patients With Atrial Fibrillation In Turkey: Inferences From Garfield-Af Registry
(2019)
Objective: The corner stone of atrial fibrillation therapy includes the prevention of stroke with less adverse effects. The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD–Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) study provided data ...
Heart Failure In Cardiomyopathies: A Position Paper From The Heart Failure Association Of The European Society Of Cardiology
(2019)
Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of heart muscle diseases and an important cause of heart failure (HF). Current knowledge on incidence, pathophysiology and natural history of HF in cardiomyopathies is limited, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Brugada Syndrome with Aborted Sudden Cardiac Death Related to Liquorice-Induced Hypokalemia
(Karger, 2010)
Objective: It was the aim of this study to report an aborted cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation and electrocardiographic changes consistent with Brugada syndrome due to liquorice-induced hypokalemia. Clinical ...
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 ...
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- ...
Improved Risk Stratification Of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: An Integrated Garfield-Af Tool For The Prediction Of Mortality, Stroke And Bleed In Patients With And Without Anticoagulation
(2017)
Objectives To provide an accurate, web-based tool for stratifying patients with atrial fibrillation to facilitate decisions on the potential benefits/risks of anticoagulation, based on mortality, stroke and bleeding risks. ...
