Background: Major cardiovascular events (MACE) are more common in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, and early diagnosis can prevent significant morbidity mortality.The aim of this study was to investigate the predictiveness fragmented QRS (fQRS) showing MACE T2DM patients.Methods: A total 227 patients (mean age 52, 51% male) without any disease who came cardiology outpatient clinic between March 01 July 31, 2019, were included study.The divided into groups according fQRS on...

<i>Objectives:</i> Increased homocysteine (HCY) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Plasma HCY is in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients, and previous studies suggest that hyperhomocysteinemia causes adverse cardiac remodeling affects pump function. We aimed to evaluate the patients diastolic preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). <i>Methods:</i> prospectively studied 68 (39 females 29 males) who were hospitalized for...

Prolongation of the peak-to-end interval T wave (Tp-e) has been reported as associated with ventricular arrhythmias. The aim this study was to investigate repolarization by using Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/ QTc in patients subclinical hypothyroidism (SH).We studied 56 volunteers: These were 28 SH (mean age 45 ± 11 years) healthy subjects 34 8 years). All basic biochemical parameters analyzed electrocardiograms (ECGs) recorded. RR QT intervals, QTc, intervals Tp-e/QTc ratios...

: It is established that hyperglycemia directly effects the platelet functions and fibrin structure. In this study, we aimed to investigate predictive value of on thrombus burden in nondiabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primer percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). We enrolled 619 STEMI received PPCI. Patients were divided two groups according burden. Stress was determined as blood glucose concentration more than 180 mg/dl angiographic...

Background Correlation of increased copeptin levels with various cardiovascular diseases has been described. The clinical use in patients hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) not investigated before. Hypothesis In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value (HCM). Methods HCM was defined as presence left ventricular wall thickness ≥15 mm a subject without any concomitant disease that may cause hypertrophy. Levels and plasma N‐terminal probrain natriuretic peptide ( NT‐proBNP ) were...

Vitamin D regulates calcium and bone homeostasis, parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. Cross-sectional associations between lower vitamin levels cardiovascular diseases have been reported, but the relationship collateral arteries in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) has not reported before.Two hundred fourteen patients with above 95% stenosis at least one epicardial were consecutively recruited after angiography (CAG) during winter season. The circulation (CCC) was graded using Rentrop...

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To investigate the association between serum omentin-1 levels and adverse cardiac events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). <b><i>Subjects Methods:</i></b> This prospective, observational study included 87 HCM 50 age- sex-matched control subjects. Serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured all subjects, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay electrochemiluminescence, respectively. Patients...

SYNTAX score (SxS) has been demonstrated to predict long-term outcomes in stable patients with coronary artery disease. But its prognostic value for acute syndrome remains unknown.To evaluate whether SxS could in-hospital admitted ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who undergo primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI).The study included 538 STEMI underwent pPCI between January 2010 and December 2012. The were divided into two groups: low (< 22) high (> 22). of all was calculated from...

Patients with atrial myocardial infarction (ATMI) have frequent cardiac and noncardiac complications. However, ATMI is uncommonly diagnosed because of its nonspecific ECG changes. Our objective was to analyze the characteristics in patients inferior STEMI.Electrocardiographic P wave parameters can help diagnosis ATMI.We evaluated 932 who underwent coronary angiography recruited 39 33 without STEMI for a retrospective study. Twelve-lead ECGs were obtained measure P-wave ATMI. PR-segment...

Although left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a major cause of morbidity in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, there limited data on cardiac functions these patients. Compared to the conventional echocardiography, global longitudinal strain (GLS) can detect subclinical myocardial at an earlier stage.In our study, we aimed evaluate using GLS HIV-infected patients and investigate effect cluster differentiation 4 T-cell values LVSD.This prospective, case-control...

The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been reported to have a prognostic ability in various cardiovascular diseases and tumours. In this study, we aimed investigate whether there was an association between SII gender age newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve, hypertensive patients.A total of 153 participants, whom 93 were men 60 women, included retrospective study. Retrospective evaluation the patients performed using electronic medical records. calculated according following formula...

Objective: To determine the relationship between nutritional status evaluated via COntrolling NUTritional Status (CONUT) score and in-hospital mortality in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.

As the feasibility of obtaining health care has improved in last decade, there is an increase number performing unnecessary coronary angiogram. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), which shows erythrocyte dispersion volume, associated with artery disease. The present study aims to evaluate relationship between RDW value and severity disease patients who undergo myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) as evaluation for ischemia after had a angiography.This retrospective included 452 diagnosed...

Although smoking is an established risk factor for coronary artery disease, cessation efforts, as part of a lifestyle change, have been disappointing so far. Therefore, assessing current trends and identifying patients who are at continuation paramount importance. In this study, our aim was to assess rates after revascularization 2017, define factors that potentially affect cessation.Overall, 350 had undergone revascularization, either by percutaneous intervention or bypass surgery were...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) plays an important part in all-cause mortality patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The T-peak to T-end (Tp-e) interval, corrected Tp-e (Tp-ec) and Tp-e/QT ratio on the ECG are parameters used stratify risk for SCD. objective of this study was investigate differences between HIV-infected healthy individuals terms Tp-ec ratio, as well other influencing factors. Ninety-eight 62 controls were included prospective case-control study. measured all...

The pathophysiology of an early and accelerated atherosclerotic process is complex multifactorial in HIV-infected men compared with HIV-non-infected men. Several biomarkers have been well studied the detection stage atherosclerosis, but studies are limited objective this study was to investigate association between serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) carotid intima-media wall thickness (CIMT) asymptomatic This a case-control group comprising 118 60 age-matched gender-matched...

BACKGROUND Although there are several electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnostic criteria for identifying left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the sensitivity of these remains low. Recently, Peguero-Lo Presti criterion provides a higher than current criteria. We aimed to test this ECG prospectively, in octogenarian population. METHODS prospectively enrolled outpatients over 80 years age who were referred our echocardiography laboratory. The was assessed along with other established Left mass...
