Abstract Introduction Constrictive pericarditis is a chronic inflammatory entity that may progress with thickening and calcification in the pericardial tissue, resulting decreased elasticity subsequent increase ventricular filling pressures1,2. This rare treatable cause of HFpEF, associated various aetiologies, depending on development level countries. Several algorithms have been developed for diagnosis, whereas studies evaluating prognostic factors are limited3–6. Our study aimed to...
Abstract Objectives Myocarditis, a leading cause of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, has increased in prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic1. Although imaging is vital for diagnosing myocarditis, its prognostic value not well understood2,3. The sphericity index, which assesses roundness left ventricle, may help both diagnosis and prognosis various diseases4–6. This study examines significance index myocarditis patients. Methods We analyzed clinical data from 30 patients diagnosed using...
Abstract Objectives ARVC, a rare form of cardiomyopathy associated with dismal prognosis, involves the replacement cardiac myocytes fibrofatty tissue1,2. Multiple criteria are utilized for diagnosis and risk assessment3–5. The right ventricular scalloping index has emerged as newly proposed parameter ARVC diagnosis, yet its prognostic implications remain unexplored in literature6. Our study seeks to investigate impact MRI derived (RVSI-MR) alongside other parameters. Material Methods...
Background/Objectives: Secundum-type atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart defects, with an incidence 5.64 per 10,000 live births worldwide. In our study, long-term follow-up results children who underwent percutaneous ASD closure and patients surgical treatment were evaluated using right ventricular strain echocardiography electrocardiography. Methods: 30 transcatheter provided prospectively compared 50 healthy similar demographic characteristics. ECG...
Objectives: Syncope is a common cause of the transient loss consciousness, with neurally mediated syncope (NMS) and particularly vasovagal (VVS) being most prevalent types among older children adolescents. VVS primarily caused by heightened parasympathetic activity triggered emotional or postural stimuli, resulting in temporary disruption circulation. Although anamnesis physical examination play key roles diagnosing VVS, additional diagnostic methods are necessary unclear cases. This study...

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, laboratory and genetic characteristics outcomes of patients with AA amyloidosis. Methods Patients followed up in a tertiary referral centre Turkey diagnosis inflammatory rheumatic diseases immunohistologically proven amyloidosis were included retrospectively analysed. Results Among 184 amyloidosis, 174 (83 female, 91 male) analysis. The most common cause was FMF (78.7%), 91% FMF-AA carrying p.M694V variant (74.1% homozygous)....
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is widely used to assess functional capacity and prognosis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, studies on oxygen saturation recovery after the 6MWT IPF are rare. In our study, we investigated relationship between time dyspnea, fatigue, quality of life, prognostic markers hypertension (PH). this cross-sectional diagnosed according current guidelines followed up Interstitial Lung Disease Outpatient Clinic 2021 2022 were included....
Mutations in LTBP3 are associated with Dental Anomalies and Short Stature syndrome (DASS; MIM 601216), which is characterized by hypoplastic type amelogenesis imperfecta, hypodontia, underdeveloped maxilla, short stature, brachyolmia, aneurysm dissection of the thoracic aorta. Here we report a novel (p.Arg545ProfsTer22) recurrent (c.3107-2A > G) variants, Turkish family affected DASS. The proband, who carried compound heterozygous variant c.3107-2A G, p.Arg545ProfsTer22, was most severely...
Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is a common disease that occurs in all stages of life. A growing number studies call attention to the relationship between VD and cardiovascular disease. The aim this study was investigate effect on subclinical left ventricular (LV) function diabetic non-diabetic patients with no significant coronary artery disease.We recruited 140 (80 diabetics 60 non-diabetics) symptoms stable ischemic heart who underwent angiography had our clinic. 25(OH)D3 levels were measured...
The novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) disease has spread rapidly and posed a great threat to global public health. laboratory parameters clinical outcomes of the in discharged patients remain unknown. In this study, we aimed investigate echocardiographic findings with COVID-19 after discharge relation between left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVGLS) inflammatory patients.A total 75 recovering from as study group were prospectively recruited outpatient clinic for their follow-up...
