Objective This study examines the predictive value of novel systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods A total 1660 STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) were enrolled study. In-hospital and 3-year outcomes compared between four groups (Q1–4). The SII was calculated using following formula: neutrophil*platelet/lymphocyte. Results frequency in-hospital cardiogenic shock, acute...
Aims In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between EAT thickness in patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and development of new-onset atrial fibrillation during hospital follow-up. Material methods Four hundred thirteen consecutive [284 men (69%) 129 women (31%)] a mean age 59 ± 11 years diagnosed were included study.

Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are frequent in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Myocardial fibrosis is one of the components diabetic cardiomyopathy secondary to DM. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) on electrocardiography (ECG) has been shown be a marker myocardial fibrosis. In this study, we aimed investigate association between fQRS and complex VAs patients with DM.Three hundred thirty-six consecutive who were diagnosed DM included study. The control group consisted 275 age- sex-matched healthy...
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence microvascular and macrovascular diabetic complications associated comorbidities in newly diagnosed pre-diabetic individuals.This cross-sectional includes 100 individuals. Fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, oral glucose tolerance (OGTT) were tested according American Diabetes Association's diagnostic criteria for pre-diabetes, besides anthropometric measurements, lipid profiles, demographic biochemical parameters. Comorbidities like...
BACKGROUND: Although mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a benign disease, several studies have indicated its association with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Some histopathological pointed to left fibrosis as the underlying cause of arrhythmia in MVP patients. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) on electrocardiography (ECG) has been shown be marker myocardial fibrosis. This study aimed investigate between fQRS and complex VAs patients MVP.METHODS: A total 230 consecutive who were diagnosed included study. The...
Abstract Background We aimed to assess atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) in patients who had undergone heart transplantation. Methods A total of 32 underwent biatrial anastomosis transplantation (24 men, 8 women; mean age: 42±11 years) and 30 healthy volunteers (20 10 36±13 were included the study. Atrial coupling (PA), intra‐AEMD, inter‐AEMD measured. Results PA lateral (68±7 vs. 51±11 ms, p <0.01), septal (50±5 42±8 < 0.01) tricuspid (39±6 36±9 (PA lateral–PA tricuspid) (27±7...
Abstract Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac rhythm disorder, affects approximately 2% of general population and is associated with increased risk stroke mortality as well reduced exercise capacity quality life. After restoring normal sinus rhythm, a portion these patients develops recurrent AF despite optimal medical treatment. In this study, we aimed to assess relationship between presence fragmented QRS (fQRS) recurrence following successful electrical...
In recent years, epicardial fat tissue (EFT) has been found to be strongly associated with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). It was also reported a predictor cardiac arrhythmias in different clinical situations. However, current literature, role EFT thickness AF patients non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) not studied. this study, we aimed investigate relationship between and new-onset NSTEMI during in-hospital follow-up.We enrolled 493 consecutive who were...
We aimed to observe the effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on left ventricular diastolic function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).82 were enrolled study; 42 who participating a CR program, 40 did not maintain program as control group. Measurements mitral inflow included peak early filling (E-wave) late (A-wave) velocities, E/A ratio, deceleration time (DT) velocity A-wave duration. The annular has been...
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the awareness of pneumococcal vaccination (PCV13, PPSV23) in general cardiology outpatient clinics and impact physicians’ recommendations on rates. Methods: This was a multicenter, observational, prospective cohort study. Patients over age 18 from 40 hospitals different regions Turkey who applied clinic between September 2022 August 2021 participated. The rates were calculated within three months follow-up admitting patient clinics. Results: 403 (18.2%) patients...
Background: Anabolic androgen steroid (AS) use has adverse effects on left ventricular functions, such as fibrosis development. Fragmented QRS is an important marker of myocardial fibrosis, while speckle-tracking echocardiographyis a method used to show subclinical ventricle dysfunction. In this study, we examined the ability fQRS + detect by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in AS users.Methods: The study included total 181 healthy athletes. Athletes were divided into two groups users...
Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic multisystem that presents with recurrent oral and genital ulceration uveitis. The patients are often diagnosed in the range of 20-30 years age BD more common men.[1] has worldwide distribution, but it mainly observed Mediterranean areas Japan.[2] Involvement skin, joints, nervous, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular systems also recognised.[34] Although vascular lesions frequently this disease, cardiac involvement rare associated poor prognosis.[5].
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an early form of atherosclerosis and subclinical myocardial dysfunction. Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) associated with impaired left ventricular (LV) function, even in the absence cardiovascular disease. The aim this study was to investigate association between EFT LV systolic function patients erectile ED by speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) method.A total 129 consecutive were compared 145 age- sex-matched control subjects. evaluated using International...
Eustachian valve ( EV ) is a vestige of the inferior vena cava which directs umbilical vein blood through open foramen ovale in fetal life. Following birth it gradually regresses, but may persist variable size, shape, and thickness as functionless benign structure. However, there are reports suggesting that persistent not be completely innocent. It has been accused being predisposing cause patent paradoxical embolism also interfering with transseptal interventional procedures. serve site...
Aim: Severely obese patients are known to be at risk of malignant arrhythmias.The frequency ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death is increasing in morbidly patients.Ventricular depolarization repolarization parameters on the electrocardiogram can predict mortality morbidity.Electrocardiographic (ECG) markers like QT, QTc, QTd, QTdc, JT, JTc Tp-e intervals Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc, Tp-e/JT Tp-e/JTc ratios were evaluated before after sleeve gastrectomy surgery.Material Methods: ECG recordings 35...

The presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been linked to many illness, including cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attack, migraine, platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome and decompression sickness in scuba divers. Transesophageal echocardiography is the gold standard technique for visualization atrial septal anatomy, but it a secondary level exam, not always available, with additional associated costs completely free from procedural risks. Standard transthoracic (TTE) too low sensitivity...
