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,...
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether YKL-40 levels and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness were associated with non-dipping pattern in essential hypertension (HT). Age- sex-matched 40 dipper hypertensive patients non-dipper included study. Non-dippers had significantly increased EAT higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein than dippers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum independent predictors HT. In HT, presence is inflammatory response.
The inflammatory process plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular complications patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). YKL-40/chitinase 3-like protein 1 is a novel biomarker systemic inflammation. This study aimed to investigate whether carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), useful marker for early atherosclerosis, associated serum levels normotensive and nondiabetic OSAS.The included 40 OSAS age- sex- body mass index-matched healthy controls. Serum YKL-40...
OBJECTIVES:The aim of our study was to evaluate the total atrial conduction time and its relationship subclinical atherosclerosis, inflammation echocardiographic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.METHODS: A 132 mellitus (mean age 54.5¡9.6 years; 57.6% male) 80 age-and gender-matched controls were evaluated.The measured by tissue-Doppler imaging carotid intima-media thickness B-mode ultrasonography.RESULTS: The significantly longer than control group (131.7¡23.6 vs....
We aimed to evaluate the relation among epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, angiographic presence of thrombus, and no-reflow in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The study population consisted 229 patients. EAT thickness neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher thrombus than those without (6.1 ± 1.1 vs 5.1 1.3 mm, P < .001 3.4 0.9 2.5 0.7, .001, respectively) compared reflow. was...

The monocyte/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) reflects the proatherogenic and antiatherogenic balance, a high is associated with severity of atherosclerosis. We measured MHR patients critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to peripheral artery disease (PAD) requiring amputation. Patients diagnosed PAD were divided into 2 groups; those who underwent an amputation CLI without any sign infection treated surgical or percutaneous revascularization followed up medically. A healthy control...
Abstract Background In this study considering the relationship between serum endocan and CHA 2 DS -VASc score, we assumed that level could be a new biomarker for stroke risk in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). It was examined an alternative to determine of anticoagulation strategy PAF. The scores were calculated 192 PAF, their levels measured. divided into two groups as those low moderate (0-1) high (≥ 2) scores, compared these groups. Results significantly higher score...
A high-fat diet is associated with the development of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), but whether hyperlipidemia BPE remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate a risk factor for BPE.This included 265 patients lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and 248 age-matched healthy individuals without LUTS. The patient control groups in were compared terms fasting serum glucose, lipid values, prostate specific antigen (PSA), size measured by abdominal ultrasonography.The sizes group 59.4 ± 12.6...
No study on dual energy computed tomography (DECT) has been found in the literature to evaluate possibly fatal cardiac/myocardial problems corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Myocardial perfusion deficits can be COVID-19 patients even without any significant coronary artery occlusion, and these shown via DECT with a perfect interrater agreement.To assess lung alterations To our knowledge, no using performed cardiac/ myocardial The purpose of this is role detection COVID-19-related...
Objective The purpose of this study is to assess the parameters heart rate variability, which an indicator change in autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, individuals with premature ejaculation (PE). Material and Methods This was performed by comparing 40 patients PE (mean age, 31.2 ± 4.1 years) healthy 30.4 4.8 without from May 2018 December 2019. HRV were compared between men controls 24-hour rhythm Holter examination. Results In time domain analysis, a subgroup HRV, square root...
Ventricular Septal Defect, also known as VSD is a rare and life-threatening complication associated with MI. Therefore, it should be immediately diagnosed treated. Transcatheter closure of the ventricular septal defect new alternative treatment approach compared to surgery. In this case, we presented patient post-infarct basal whose was closed using an atrial device. The ability successfully close such large via catheter promising for patients VSD.
Cíl: Protože kardiovaskulární onemocnění jsou příčinou závažné morbidity a mortality, je třeba zjišťovat jejich přítomnost začít včas léčit. Proto byla pro stanovení rizika vypracována řada stupnic, v současnosti se však rutinně nepoužívá žádný biochemický marker kardiovaskulárního rizika. Ateroskleróza nejzávažnější rozvoje kardiovaskulárních patofyziologii aterosklerózy hraje jistou úlohu zánět cév. Řada studií prokázala, že mnoho kroků procesu tohoto zánětu ovlivňují hodnoty YKL-40 séru....
To investigate the association of aortic propagation velocity (APV) with coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients stable angina pectoris (SAP) through SYNTAX scores (SS).The study population comprised 214 SAP subjects who received a angiography. The APV and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were examined SS was calculated. Subjects grouped following specific criteria: less than 22 (low) greater or equal to (high).High had lower compared low [39.0 (32.0-51.7) vs. 55.0 (45.0-62.0) cm/s,...
