Infection is a serious complication of cardiac devices. We aimed to describe predisposing factors and outcome permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) infections.We reviewed device infections diagnosed at the Yuksek Ihtisas Hospital Ankara, Turkey, between 2004 2010 retrospectively. Demographic clinical data were collected, descriptive analysis was performed.From 2010, total 1916 devices implanted. Thirty-four cases confirmed identified giving an infection rate...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been shown to be associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Prolongation of inter- and intraatrial conduction times during sinus rhythm also related AF generation. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment modality OSA.Twenty-four OSA patients diagnosed through polysomnography 18 controls were included in the study. The basal electromechanic delays prior onset therapy measured using tissue Doppler imaging. P-wave dispersion...
Abstract HeartMate 3 (HM3) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a compact, intrapericardial, centrifugal flow pump with fully magnetically levitated rotor and wide range of operation (2–10 L/min) to accommodate broad clinical needs. We analyzed our experience Heartware VAD (HVAD) HM3 implantation through minimally invasive thoracotomy (MILT) upper minimal J sternotomy. Between March 2015 October 2016, 31 patients who underwent LVAD MILT were included in this study. Twenty‐three had HVAD...
Collaterals, which develop in response to ischemic stimuli derived from coronary artery disease (CAD), contribute reduction of infarct size, left ventricular dysfunction, and mortality. However, there is considerable variation among patients with heart regarding the extent collateral development (CCD). In this study, we aimed investigate association degree platelet activation via mean volume (MPV) circulation. Therefore, 210 who underwent angiography had stenosis ≥50 % at least one were...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of troponin levels in predicting long-term survival patients IE.A retrospective analysis medical database Yuksek Ihtisas Education Research Hospital was performed reach that received diagnosis definite IE according Duke criteria. Out 84 cases, 48 (mean age 45.6 ± 17.3, 39.6% female) had T measured upon hospital admission were included. The status study subjects...
Metabolic syndrome (MS) comprises a group of factors that are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events. Acute coronary syndromes account the most important part events considerable morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate association MS extension artery disease in patients presenting non-ST segment elevation (NSTE) acute (ACS).Three hundred six consecutive (220 men, 86 women patients) diagnosis NSTE ACS, who were hospitalized within first 24 h their chest pain care...
Abstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the haemodynamic effects preoperative levosimendan infusion in patients who underwent left ventricular assist device implantation and evaluate prognoses. METHODS Between May 2013 October 2018, 85 adult were included; 44 41 suffered from dilated cardiomyopathy ischaemic cardiomyopathy, respectively. Patients divided into 2 groups: group A (58 patients) included those received addition other inotropes B (27 inotropic agents than...
Heart failure (HF) is a growing public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. Recently, angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) has emerged as promising treatment for HF reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Here, we shared our experience the use of ARNi in HFrEF from multiple centers Turkey.The ARNi-TR multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective, observational study. Overall, 779 patients 22 Turkey who were prescribed sacubitril/valsartan examined. Initial clinical...
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and presence extent coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who underwent angiography for stable chest pain.A total 540 (350 male, 190 female; age: 59.6±11.4 years) were consecutively included study. divided into four groups according their CAD as follows: Group 1 - with no significant CAD, group 2 one vessel disease, 3 two diseases, 4 three disease. Also, Gensini score each angiogram calculated.There...
Management of electromagnetic interference in the form magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patients with pacemakers (PMs) may be challenging. Serious consequences, especially PM‐dependent patients, encountered. Changes device programming, asynchronous pacing, heating lead tip(s), and increased thresholds or even dislocation experienced. We report a patient DDD PM who underwent an emergent MRI, after which there was increase ventricular impedance as well cardiac biomarkers. (PACE 2012; 35:e251–e253)
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is related to the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Increased γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity associated with atherosclerosis. We assessed relationship between EAT and serum GGT in addition cardiovascular risk factors patients stable anginal symptoms. Consecutive (n = 120) who underwent angiography were included. thickness was measured by echocardiography. Serum enzymatic colorimetric assay. higher CAD 83). Patients metabolic syndrome 83) found...
To detect the prevalence of alternative herbal medicine and nutritional complementary product intake in patients admitted to outpatient cardiology clinics determine demographic characteristics, comorbidities medical properties those patients.Patients between June 2011 March 2012 were given questionnaires involving age, gender, education, occupation, chronic illness, medication, herbs, products, index purpose motivation for using herbs products. The data analyzed.A total 454 collected. mean...
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the method of choice in treatment patients with hemodynamically significant stenosis. We aimed to analyze acute and long-term clinical echocardiographic consequences PMBV.In this retrospective cohort study; 311 who underwent PMBV our Cardiology Clinic at Türkiye Yüksek İhtisas Education Research Hospital between January 2000 March 2004 were evaluated for procedural outcomes primary endpoints (death, rePMBV, valve replacement (MVR)). All...
Background: Due to an increasing number of cardiac device implantations, the leads that need be extracted because infection or lead failure is consistently rising. We present our experience in percutaneous removal a single tertiary center. Methods: From December 2009 August 2010, 12 patients underwent extraction procedure by Evolution™ mechanical dilator sheath (Cook Medical Inc., Bloomington, IN, USA) system after manual traction and locking stylet. Results: Ages ranged between 7 86 years...
In this study, we aimed to identify the factors influencing use of ambulance among patients admitted two Turkish hospitals with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Overall, 330 a mean age 55±13 years, hospitalized ACS at 2 different were included in prospective cohort study. The hospital investigated through questionnaire. comparisons made between groups regarding ambulance. predictors determined using multiple logistic regression analysis.Despite high rate knowing emergency service number "112",...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, including ischemic stroke. Prolonged atrial electromechanical interval (EMI) related to fibrillation (AF) risk. The aim of the study evaluate EMI and electrocardiographic P-wave indices AF risk in patients PCOS.Forty PCOS diagnosed on basis Rotterdam criteria 20 age-matched controls were prospectively included. atrioventricular or intraventricular conduction abnormalities, dysrhythmia taking antiarrhythmic...
