Recently, mean platelet volume (MPV) was reported to predict venous thromboembolism. Moreover, MPV correlates with reactivity and indicates poor outcome in acute coronary syndromes.To examine the hypothesis that pulmonary embolism (APE) is elevated may mortality.The study included consecutive 192 patients APE, (79M/113F, 64+/-18 years) 100 controls matched for age, sex concomitant diseases. On admission blood samples were collected troponin measurements. Although did not differ between APE...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. One most important in this group is myocardial infarction (MI). According to universal definition developed by European Society Cardiology (ESC), MI divided into five main types based on its cause. Type 2 secondary ischaemia due either increased demand or decreased supply oxygen (for example coronary artery spasm, anaemia, arrhythmia, embolism, hypertension, hypotension).To assess occurrence and aetiology type acute (AMI),...
Prior studies suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) promotes recurrence of arrhythmia in patients after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. In this prospective, long-term, observational study, we enrolled 290 consecutive admitted for AF to the ablation, all underwent a polygraphy study diagnosis OSA. After procedure, were followed up mean time 30 months reoccurrence. OSA was diagnosed when apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5. Patients subsequently divided into groups according severity: mild...
Abstract Aims Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is often performed before catheter ablation or cardioversion to rule out the presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAT) in patients on chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC), despite associated discomfort. A machine learning model [LAT-artificial intelligence (AI)] was developed predict LAT based clinical and transthoracic (TTE) features. Methods results Data from a 13-site prospective registry who underwent TOE were used. LAT-AI...
Assessment of thromboembolic risk is crucial for proper management atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Currently used score base only on scarce clinical data and do not take into consideration parameters including echocardiographic findings. The aim this study was to evaluate if left atrium (LA) enlargement associated with higher assessed by CHADS2 CHA2DS2-VASc scores in a cohort unselected non-valvular AF Data from 582 hospitalizations occurring between November 2012 January 2014 were...
Assessment of stroke risk and implementation appropriate antithrombotic therapy is an important issue in atrial fibrillation patients. Current scores do not take into consideration the comorbidities associated with elevated thromboembolic like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim study was to establish whether patients coexisting OSA have higher according CHADS2 CHA2DS2-VASc scores.
According to the present guidelines, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) before scheduled catheter ablation (CA) for atrial arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation [AF] or flutter [AFL]) is not deemed obligatory optimally anticoagulated patients. However, daily clinical practice significantly differs from recommendations.
The presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a novel cardiovascular risk factor, contributes to the development peripheral arterial diseases (PAD). There is lack data showing how often these coexist.The aim study was determine prevalence OSA in population patients with PAD.Patients previously qualified for first revascularization due PAD were included study. All underwent an overnight detect OSA. Diagnosis made when apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5 per hour.From 141 (60% men, age 69.6 ± 9.5...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFl) increase the risk of thromboembolism. The aim study was to assess prevalence left atrial thrombus (LAT) in AF/AFl relation oral anticoagulation (OAC). Methods: LATTEE (NCT03591627) a multicenter, prospective, observational enrolling consecutive patients with referred for transesophageal echocardiography before cardioversion or ablation. Results: Of 3109 enrolled, 88% were on chronic, 1.5% transient OAC 10% without OAC. chronic OAC, 39%...
Sexual dysfunctions, especially erectile dysfunction (ED), are a major problem in cardiovascular patients. They caused by risk factors including low-grade inflammation process, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and hemodynamic vascular alterations. The same mechanisms some of the main causes and/or consequences atrial fibrillation (AF). To this day, literature provides no cross-sectional data on prevalence sexual AF. study aimed to determine consecutive, young male patients with...
Abstract Aims The aim of the study was to evaluate prevalence left atrial thrombus (LAT) on transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in patients with fibrillation or flutter (AF/AFl) reference presence heart failure (HF) and its subtypes. Methods results research is a sub‐study multicentre, prospective, observational Left Atrial Thrombus Transoesophageal Echocardiography (LATTEE) registry, which comprised 3109 consecutive AF/AFl undergoing TOE prior direct current cardioversion catheter...
The issue of self-perceived health control and related sense self-efficacy has not received any attention in patients with heart failure (HF), although these psychological features have been established to determine the patients' approach towards healthcare professionals their recommendations, which strongly affects compliance.A total 758 systolic HF (age: 64 ± 11 years, men: 79%, NYHA class III–IV: 40%, ischaemic aetiology: 61%) were included a prospective Polish multicentre Caps-Lock-HF...
The NOD2 gene has been associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease and individuals are at increased risk for cancer a number of organ sites. We studied the association between 3020insC allele among 2604 patients 1910 controls from Poland. Patients were diagnosed one twelve types in Szczecin region 1994 2004. Significant associations found colon (OR = 1.8; 95% CI 1.2 2.6), lung 1.7; 1.1 2.5) ovarian 1.6; 2.3). In addition, significant was early-onset laryngeal 2.9; 1.4 6.2) breast...
Knowledge of thrombosis (T) risk predictors and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are important tools in appropriate qualification patients for safe electrical cardioversion.
Cardiac arrest (CA) is a complex event with dismal survival rate. The aim of this study was to determine whether N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels measured on admission and serial cardiac troponin I determination in patients in-hospital (IHCA) are predictive 30-day mortality.Out 9877 hospitalized the intensive care unit during study, we enrolled consecutive experiencing within 12 hours admission. Baseline characteristics, information about circumstances CA...
