Delayed admission of myocardial infarction (MI) patients is an important prognostic factor. In the present nationwide registry (TURKMI-2), we evaluated treatment delays and outcomes with acute MI during Covid-19 pandemic compaired a recentpre-pandemic (TURKMI-1).The pre-pandemic studies were conducted prospectively as 15-day snapshot registries in same 48 centers. The inclusion criteria for both aged ≥18 years final diagnosis (AMI) positive troponin levels. only difference between 2 was that...
Atherosclerosis is a complex process mediated by leukocytes, macrophages and various inflammatory markers. Galectin-3 secreted activated involved in cardiac fibrosis, remodeling, inflammation. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between presence severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) serum galectin-3 levels. included 82 patients with CAD confirmed via angiography healthy participants as control group. Angiographic was defined ≥50% luminal diameter stenosis at least one...
This study aimed to investigate the potential misuse of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and physicians' adherence current European guideline recommendations in real-world using a large dataset from Real-life Multicenter Survey Evaluating Stroke Prevention Strategies Turkey (RAMSES Study).RAMSES is prospective, multicenter, nationwide registry (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02344901). In this subgroup analysis RAMSES study, patients who were on NOACs classified as appropriately treated...
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a novel inflammatory marker that released from neutrophils. In this study, we evaluated the correlation between serum NGAL level and clinical angiographic risk scores in patients diagnosed with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).Forty-seven random NSTE-ACS 45 normal arteries (NCA) who underwent angiography were enrolled study. GRACE score SYNTAX Gensini used, respectively, for purpose of assessment scoring. Serum was...
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a new reliable marker of insulin resistance (IR) and has recently been reported to be associated with renal dysfunction contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Our aim in this study investigate the relationship between TyG CIN non-diabetic non-ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. included 272 patients who applied NSTEMI underwent coronary angiography (CAG). Patient data were divided into quartiles according index: Q1: < 8.55; Q2:...
Abstract Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the treatment of choice for patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes as it reduces mortality prevents recurrent thrombotic complications. The assessment both ischaemic burden bleeding risk crucial in deciding which DAPT to choose how long should be continued. Objectives aim our study was perform prospective clinical follow-up receiving fixed-dose combination (ASA 75 mg + clopidogrel mg). Our a multicentric, cross-sectional,...
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with cardiovascular diseases; however, the relationship between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and GDM remains unclear. The present study evaluates compares EFT using transthoracic echocardiography in pregnant women GDM. This cross-sectional included 129 third trimester: 65 (GDM group) 64 uncomplicated pregnancies (control group). As defined by World Health Organization, diagnosis of was based on an abnormal 2-h oral glucose tolerance test...
Objective Ulcerative colitis ( UC ) is a common inflammatory bowel disease causing systemic inflammation, which may also affect the cardiovascular system, as well other organ systems. The aim of current study was to evaluate left atrial LA mechanical functions and duration electromechanical delay AEMD with echocardiography in patients . Method A total 91 patients, 45 (Group 1) 46 healthy individuals control 2) were included study. demographic laboratory data recorded, echocardiographic...
Inflammatory mechanisms are known to play an important role in coronary artery disease. The present study aimed investigate the importance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) terms in-hospital mortality and its association with currently used risk scores patients non-ST-elevation acute syndrome (NSTE-ACS).Three hundred seventeen NSTE-ACS were included. divided into tertiles according their NLR values (NLR <2.6, NLR=2.6-4.5, >4.5). Clinical angiographic was evaluated by SYNTAX GRACE...
Background: Delay on admission of myocardial infarction (MI) is an important prognostic factor. In this nationwide registry, we compared treatment delays and outcomes patients with acute MI in Covid-19 pandemic period a recent pre-pandemic registry conducted at the same centres. Methods: A (TURKMI-1) enrolled consecutive November 1-15, 2018 Turkey, assessed time delay each step from symptom-onset to outcomes. Fifty centres were selected using probability sampling. present study (TURKMI-2),...
The aim of this study was to establish the degree aortic stiffness and levels neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with stable ischemic heart disease.Patients who were found have stable, noncritical lesions on coronary angiography included [noncritical artery disease (CAD)]. control group consisted those had similar risk profiles metabolic parameters without atherosclerosis angiography.A total 101 which 56 CAD. Whereas strain (9.11 ± 3.4 vs. 14.01 4.1%, p < 0.001)...
Increased frequency of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been demonstrated in psoriasis cases. Prolongation the duration electromechanical delay (AEMD) is a well-known characteristic atrium, which vulnerable to AF. In current study, our aims are investigate AEMD durations and mechanical functions left atrium (LA) patients with psoriasis.A total 90 patients, 45 vulgaris as control group, were included study. Atrial coupling (PA) intra- inter-atrial (IA-AEMD) measured tissue Doppler...
Apixaban, a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants, is Factor Xa inhibitor that prescribed for the treatment of non valvular atrial fibrillation. Rectus sheath hematoma rare but significant complication anticoagulant treatment. The important causes rectus include with hematologic diseases, trauma, intense physical activity, coughing, sneezing and pregnancy. In this report, we describe case 71-year-old woman undergoing apixaban fibrillation who presented spontaneous hematoma.
Background:Although myocardial bridging (MB) is defined as an angiographic phenomenon with a benign course, it has also been associated adverse cardiovascular events.The effects of exercise on repolarization in patients MB were tested this study, Tp-e and Tp-e/QT indexes. Material/Methods:A total 50 whom isolated was diagnosed at coronary angiography (CAG) (Group I) 48 normal CAG results II) included study.The participants underwent treadmill stress testing according to the Bruce protocol.QT...
In this study, we aimed to analyze the TURKMI registry identify factors associated with delays from symptom onset treatment that would be focus of improvement efforts in patients acute myocardial infarction (AMI) Turkey.The study is a nation-wide was conducted 50 centers capable 24/7 primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). All consecutive (n=1930) AMI admitted care units within 48 hours were prospectively enrolled during predefined 2-week period between November 1, 2018, and 16,...
Azathioprine, a purine analogue that competitively inhibits the biosynthesis of nucleotides, is used in wide range conditions. Although its side-effects are well known, cardiac side effects like paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) based on only few case reports. We describe here 55-year-old woman with primary biliary cirrhosis who presented first-detected, symptomatic AF 2 h after azathioprine therapy which resolved discontinuation drug no predisposing factors for supraventricular...
Objective: To evaluate the short-and mid-term effects of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) on right ventricular functions in stenosis.Methods: A prospective study was conducted 61 patients who had stenosis normal sinus rhythm (68% female, age: 42±11-16 years).Right were measured before, immediately after, and at 3 months 1 year after PMBV by conventional tissue Doppler echocardiography imaging methods.Additionally, evaluated two groups (PAP≥40 mm Hg, n: 46; PAP<40 15)...
