Postoperative atrial fibrillation ( POAF ) is common after cardiac surgery and associated with increased morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital stay. Speckle tracking echocardiography STE has been applied recently for evaluation of LA function. The purpose this study was to examine whether left longitudinal strain measured by a predictor the development following mitral valve severe regurgitation. We studied 53 patients undergoing in sinus rhythm at time surgery. Echocardiography...
In this study, we investigated whether mechanical dispersion which reflects electrical abnormality and other echocardiographic clinic parameters predict appropriate ICD shock in patients undergone implantation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Sixty-three who received primary or secondary prevention were included the study. Patients' clinical, electrocardiographic, 2D classic, speckle tracking data collected. Mechanical was defined as standard deviation of time to peak negative strain 18 left...
In this single-centre study, we aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term efficacy safety outcomes of ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis (USAT) performed in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) at intermediate high risk (IHR, HR).The study group comprised 141 retrospectively evaluated PE who underwent USAT. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) dosage was 36.1±15.3 mg, infusion duration 24.5±8.1 hours. USAT associated improvements echocardiographic measures right ventricle systolic...
Angiojet Rheolytic thrombectomy (ART) has been utilized as a catheter-based treatment in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). In this study based on our seven-year experience ART patients with PE, we evaluated efficacy and safety outcomes of ART.Our is retrospective evaluation 56 high- intermediate-high-risk age (62 years; interquartile-range (IQR): 50-73) who underwent ART.High- were noted 21.4 % 78.6 patients, respectively. duration was 304(IQR: 246-468) seconds. Measures obstruction, right to...
In patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), we investigated the relation of left atrial (LA) deformational parameters evaluated by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) conventional echocardiographic diastolic dysfunction and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level. Ninety STEMI who were treated primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) 22 healthy control subjects enrolled. had examination 48 hours after PCI procedure venous blood samples drawn...
Although left main coronary artery (LMCA) compression (Co) by pulmonary (PA) aneurysm (A) has been reported in some hypertension (PH) series, clinical importance and management of this complication remain to be determined. In single-centre prospective study, we evaluated correlates, impact, strategies LMCA-Co patients with PH.Our study group comprised 269 (female 166, age 52.9 ± 17.3 years) out 498 confirmed PH who underwent angiography (CA) because the PAA on echocardiography, angina or...
Abstract Early determination of changes in myocardial functions is essential for the protection cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate work parameters healthy individuals who developed an exaggerated hypertensive response during treadmill exercise test procedure. The included a total 64 patients whom electrocardiography was planned functional capacity evaluation. population divided according presence (EBPRE) (SBP/DBP ≥210/105 mmHg males ≥190/105 females) and normal blood...
There is limited data on moderate-dose with slow-infusion thrombolytic regimen by ultrasound-asssisted-thrombolysis (USAT) in patients acute pulmonary embolism (PE).In this study, our eight-year experience USAT moderate-dose, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) PE at intermediate-high- and high-risk was presented, short-, long-term effectiveness safety outcomes were evaluated.Our study based the retrospective evaluation of 225 having multiple comorbidities who underwent USAT.High-...
Purpose Postoperative LV dysfunction is associated with poor prognosis and increased mortality in patient mitral regurgitation undergoing surgery. With this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of classic speckle tracking echocardiographic ( STE ) deformational parameters for estimating postoperative dysfunction. Methods Fifty‐nine asymptomatic patients severe MR due valve prolapse, who had sinus rhythm ejection fraction EF ≥50%, were included. Patients underwent comprehensive...
The relation between body mass index (BMI) and coronary artery disease (CAD) extension remains controversial. A new score was developed to estimate fat percentage (BFP) known as Relative Fat Mass (RFM) Index. This study aimed evaluate the value of RFM Index in predicting severity CAD, compared with other anthropometric measurements.A total 325 patients chronic CAD were investigated. RFM, BFP, BMI characteristics measured before angiography. determined by SYNergy percutaneous intervention...
Background Malnutrition reflects the general condition of a patient including physical condition, protein turnover, and immune competence. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is disorder that adversely affects prognosis older adults. In our study, we aimed to show relationship between CI-AKI malnutrition status in elderly patients over 65 years age with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Study enrolled 360 consecutive angiography performed because disease. Patients...
Right ventricular (RV) failure is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with left (LV) end-stage heart (ESHF). Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) RV stroke work (RVSWI) are invasive parameters related to function. This study aimed investigate the prognostic impact PAPi RVSWI these patients.In this study, 416 ESHF were included. The adverse cardiac event (ACE) was defined as LV assist device implantation, urgent transplantation, or mortality. There 218 ACE cases 198...
Estimation of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures is a clinical challenge in patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF). In the present study, we investigated whether LV and atrial longitudinal strain rate (SR) parameters derived by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) could be used to predict invasively measured end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) this patient population. LVEDP was before coronary angiography performed 65 EF (≥50%) referred elective cardiac catheterization; besides,...
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and risk acute myocardial infarction in young adults.A total 621 patients, who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) due Myocardial Infarction (MI) at our hospital were included study. Demographic characteristics, factor profile, laboratory test results, electrocardiographic CAG findings assessed selected groups.Total cholesterol, (Tg/HDL) ratio, Tg levels, higher younger...
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) can occur after coronary interventions despite protective measures. We evaluated the effect of urinary system contrast blush grading for predicting post-procedure CI-AKI in 486 patients with chronic artery disease. Patient characteristics and blood samples were collected. Urinary grade was recorded during angiography interventions. Post-procedure third to fourth day collected diagnosis CI-AKI. The median age 61 years (53-70, interquartile range),...
Pulmonary embolism severity index, its simplified version, and shock index have been used for risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism. In this study, we proposed a modification evaluated the correlates prognostic value of setting.The study group comprised retrospectively 181 patients with Systematic workup including biomarkers, echocardiographic multidetector computed tomography assessments was performed all patients. Moreover, calculated by multiplying original (heart rate/systolic...
The Voronoi diagram has been investigated intensively throughout the last decades. This done not only in context of Euclidean geometry but also curved spaces. Except for [KWR97] these methods typically make use some fast marching cube algorithms. In this work we will focus on computation diagrams including objects that are contained a Riemannian manifold M. Further, assume paper M differentiable structure consisting smooth parametrisation functions fi, i 2 I. is reason why approach presented...
