The incidence and nature of cardiac involvement in Behçet's disease are not yet clearly documented. We first used transesophageal echocardiography combination with resting signal averaged electrocardiography to define patients. Transthoracic multiplane echocardiography, were performed 35 patients (9 women 26 men, mean age: 38 +/- 12 years) 30 normal subjects. Higher incidences interatrial septum aneurysm (31% 6%), mitral valve prolapse (25% 3%), regurgitation (40% 6%) aneurysmal dilatations...
Background: The study was designed to evaluate the severity of mitral regurgitation by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We proposed a new measurement signal void MRI and tried define threshold values for with different sequences. Methods: Twenty‐one patients were evaluated echocardiography MRI. measured length, width, area jet flow from long‐axis four‐chamber views. regurgitant TrueFISP, FLASH sequences, phase images tracing signal‐void in left atrium parallel annulus. This...
Background: Heart failure (HF) secondary to myocardial iron loading remains the leading cause of death in β‐thalassemia major (β‐TM) patients. The early diagnosis and treatment HF these patients is related survival. We aimed evaluate performance using conventional tissue Doppler echocardiography its relation plasma NT‐proBNP levels overload indices β‐TM with preserved systolic function. Methods: study population included 49 (24.0 ± 4.2 years) 48 age‐matched healthy controls....
Secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH) and cor pulmonale are the major clinical cardiovascular complications affecting prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD). It is also known that endothelin-1 (ET-1) a potent vasoconstrictor peptide produced by vascular endothelium, ET-1 may be implicated pathogenesis of PH.The purpose this study was to investigate presence COPD assess correlation levels plasma bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid (BALF) or without PH.Twenty-two 15...
We evaluated the associations among well-known atrial fibrillation (AF) predictors including P-wave dispersion (PWD), intra- and inter-atrial electromechanical dyssynchrony (EMD), left (LA) phasic functions, plasma N-terminal prohormone of B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Seventy HCM age sex matched 70 subjects were enrolled. PWD, LA total emptying fraction (LATEFr), active (LAAEFr), passive (LAPEFr), expansion index (LAEI) EMD...
In this study, efficacy of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker telmisartan given as monotherapy was compared with that perindopril in patients mild-to-moderate hypertension. After a 2-week, single-blind, placebo run-in period, 60 were randomised to double-blind, once-daily treatment 80 mg or 4 for 6 weeks. Clinic and ambulatory blood pressure measurements clinical laboratory evaluation performed at end active phases. Both significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced clinic systolic (SBP)...
Abstract Aims Left ventricular non‐compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a poorly understood entity resulting in heart failure. Whether it distinct form of or an anatomical phenotype subject discussion. The current diagnosis based on morphologic findings by comparing the compacted to non‐compacted myocardium. study aimed compare demographic and prognostic variables patients with dilated (DCM) LVNC. Emphasis was given cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging analysis. Data survival were also...
An increase in intraocular pressure following cataract surgery is very common. The main reason for this condition viscoelastic agent remaining the eye, which leads to mechanical obstruction of trabecular meshwork. Prophylaxis with oral acetazolamide frequently practised prevent early rise preoperative and postoperative periods. We report a case an 81-year-old man acute pulmonary oedema due prophylactic intake after surgery. presented order draw attention serious complication.
This study compared the efficacy and safety of warfarin in specialized international normalized ratio (INR) outpatient clinic (INR-C) general cardiology (General-C).Herein, 381 consecutive patients with a regular follow-up at INR-C (n=233) or General-C (n=148) for least 1 year were retrospectively included. While followed by single experienced trained nurse, different cardiologist who worked rotational principle every month. During controls, demographic characteristics, INR levels, bleeding...
A 45-year-old man presented with dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, and cough. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a large apical thrombus in the left ventricle. The laboratory results prominent eosinophilia blood smear, elevated acute phase reactants D-dimer serum levels. Bone marrow examination Fip1-like platelet-derived growth factor receptor alfa fusion gene mutation. case was diagnosed as myeloproliferative variant hypereosinophilic syndrome. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography...
Early surgery is recommended for asymptomatic severe mitral regurgitation (MR), because of increased postoperative left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with late surgery. On the other hand, recent reports emphasized a "watchful waiting" process determination proper time valve In our study, we compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate LV atrial (LA) remodeling; better definitions that may benefit from early Twenty-one moderate MR were...
