In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), though aspirin inhibits platelet activation and reduces atherothrombotic complications, it does not always sufficiently inhibit function, thereby causing a clinical situation known as resistance. As hyperuricemia activates turnover, resistance may be specifically induced by increased serum uric acid (SUA) levels. this study, we thus investigated the association between SUA level in CAD. We analyzed 245 consecutive stable angina pectoris (SAP)...

A total 201 consecutive COVID-19 were enrolled. Demographic data, laboratory parameters, medications, electrocardiographic (ECG) findings, clinical outcomes recorded. Patients without f-QRS compared, predictors all-cause mortality analyzed.A 135 (mean age 64 years, 43% women) 66...

Aim . This study was designed to assess the effect of patient education on knowledge safety and awareness about living with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) within context phase I rehabilitation. Methods The conducted 28 newly implanted CIED patients who were included in “education group (EG)”. Patients questioned a survey CIEDs electromagnetic interference (EMI) before 1 month after an extensive constructed interview. Ninety-three had been “without (woEG)”. Results EG improved...

Sewing needles, albeit a rare case of penetrating cardiac injury, are potentially life-threatening. We report self-inflicted remnant intracardiac sewing needle which is diagnosed with nonspecific chest pain and successfully extracted 23 months after its insertion.

Inflammation is a critical participant in mediating all stages of cardiovascular disease. Studies related with chitotriosidase that was recently found to be relevant arterial inflammation. In this study we evaluated activity serum acute coronary syndrome patients and its relationship events, cardiac enzymes inflammatory indicators.We prospectively analyzed consecutive 30 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, non unstable angina pectroris who were admitted our intensive care unit...

Coronary artery perforations are one of the most feared, rare, and catastrophic complication percutaneous coronary intervention. Despite remarkable increase in angiography intervention, there is no large database that collects perforation for Turkish population. Our study aimed to report our experience over a 10-year period clinical angiographic characteristics, management strategies, outcomes during intervention at different cardiology departments Turkey.The data came from retrospective...
