It has been shown that speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is a feasible and reproducible method to assess left atrial (LA) function. The relationship between ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) with LA deformation parameters not studied comprehensively. Therefore, we propose investigate the effects of invasively obtained LVEDP BNP level on assessed by STE show them.The study population consisted 62 patients who underwent cardiac catheterization....
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of the heterogeneity size in peripheral blood and has been shown to be an independent correlate adverse outcomes healthy participants some cardiac conditions. We examined association between RDW complexity coronary artery disease (CAD).The study population included 193 nonanemic patients who had undergone angiography for stable angina pectoris. Baseline was measured as part automated complete count. Patients were classified depending on whether...
We examined the association between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and complexity of coronary artery disease assessed by SYNTAX score (SS).The study population included patients with chest pain who had undergone angiography for stable angina pectoris. Patients were classified depending on whether SS was 0 or > 0.Left ventricular ejection fraction, estimated glomerular filtration rate, NLR found be independent predictors high in multivariate analysis. The area under receiver-operating...
We sought to determine the prognostic value of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina pectoris (UAP). A total 308 (mean age 59.22 ± 11.93) patients with NSTEMI UAP were prospectively evaluated. The study population was divided into tertiles based on admission NLR values. followed for clinical outcomes up 3 years after discharge. In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, 3-year mortality 21.6% high versus 3% low-NLR group (P < .001)....
The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been investigated as a new predictor for cardiovascular risk. Admission NLR would be predictive of adverse outcomes after primary angioplasty ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).A total 2410 patients with STEMI undergoing were retrospectively enrolled. study population was divided into tertiles based on the values. A high (n = 803) defined value in third tertile (>6.97), and low 1607) lower 2 (≤6.97).High group had higher incidence...
Syntax score is a significant tool in the management of complex coronary artery disease (CAD). This based on visual assessment lesions via angiograms. It has some limitations due to its assessment. Therefore, interobserver and intraobserver agreement should be tested.One hundred twenty-two angiograms were examined, 76 whom critical detected arteries included study. Coronary assessed by 2 independent interventional cardiologists. After 8 weeks, same cardiologists reassessed randomly choosing...
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) has been defined as a dilated luminal diameter that is at least 50% greater than the of normal portion artery. Isolated CAE without significant coronary stenosis and isolated more pronounced inflammatory symptoms. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) widely used marker inflammation an indicator cardiovascular outcomes in patients with disease. We examined possible association between NLR presence CAE.In this study, 2345 who underwent angiography for suspected or...
It has been shown that mitral stenosis (MS) impairs left ventricular (LV) systolic function; however, this issue not studied comprehensively. We aimed to evaluate the role of 2D strain in assessment subclinical LV dysfunction patients with MS.Seventy-two isolated MS (mild, moderate and severe) 31 healthy control subjects constituted study population. echocardiography images were obtained from apical 4-chamber (4C), long axis (LAX), 2-chamber (2C) views. Peak longitudinal rate (Sr) 4C, LAX,...
Aim We aimed to compare the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) between atorvastatin versus rosuvastatin in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary coronary angioplasty.Methods One hundred ninety-two consecutive patients, who underwent percutaneous intervention (p-PCI) diagnosis STEMI, were included study. The randomized take 80 mg (n = 98) or 40 94) before procedure. Biochemical and complete blood count measurements done at baseline 48...
We aimed to investigate the association between baseline red cell distribution width (RDW) level and risk of stroke in patients with heart failure (HF).A total 153 consecutive HF (New York Heart Association [NYHA] I-III left ventricular ejection fraction <40%) were included this prospective study. All followed up for 1 year, during period cerebrovascular disease was questioned.In matched population, using propensity score matching comparing having without stroke, we found significantly...
Slow coronary flow (SCF) is characterized by delayed opacification of epicardial vessels. SCF can cause ischemia and sudden cardiac death. We investigated the association between presence extent SCF, cardiovascular risk factors hematologic indices.In this study, 2467 patients who received angiography for suspected or known ischemic heart disease were retrospectively evaluated April 2009 November 2010. Following application exclusion criteria, our study population consisted 57 (experimental...
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an index that has been shown to be independent correlate of adverse outcomes in some cardiac conditions. Isolated coronary artery ectasia (CAE) abnormality the anatomy and can cause ischemia. We hypothesized increased RDW would associated with isolated CAE because both are inflammation. In this study, 2345 patients who received angiography were retrospectively evaluated. After exclusion, 75 96 consecutive normal included study. The severity was determined...
Although various risk stratification models are available and currently being used, the performance of these in different populations is still controversial. We aimed to investigate relation between Framingham SCORE presence severity coronary artery disease, which detected using SYNTAX score.The observational cross-sectional study population consisted 227 patients with a mean age 63.3±9.2 years. The were classified into low- high-risk groups separately. Following angiography, SYNTAX=0...
Objectives We sought to determine in-hospital and intermediate-term outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in young adults. Methods reviewed 2424 consecutive patients treated with angioplasty acute MI; 465 were aged 45 or less (young group) 1959 46–74 years age (nonyoung group). Clinical characteristics, PCI analyzed. Results Compared nonyoung patients, the had significantly lower mortality (for mortaliy: 5.4 vs. 1.2%,...
Conflicting datas exist regarding the outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) when is performed during night hours.2,644 consecutive patients with STEMI (mean age 56.7 +/- 11.9, years, 2,188 male) undergoing PCI between October 2003 and March 2008 were retrospectively enrolled into this study (single high-volume center: >3,000 PCIs/year). Day time was defined according to 08:00 am 06:00 pm as am. 1,141 (43.2%)...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect admission hyperglycaemia and/or diabetes mellitus (DM) on outcomes primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).2482 consecutive patients with STEMI (mean age 56.5 +/- 11.9, years, 2064 men) undergoing PCI between October 2003 and March 2008 were retrospectively enrolled into present study. Hyperglycaemia defined as a venous plasma glucose level > or =200 mg/dl admission....
Background: It is well known that right ventricular (RV) dysfunction occurs early before clinical systemic congestion in patients with mitral stenosis (MS). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the role of two‐dimensional (2D) strain imaging assessment subclinical RV dysfunction. Methods: Fifty‐nine isolated MS (mild and moderate) 31 healthy control subjects constituted study population. peak longitudinal (RV‐LS) rate (RV‐LSr) measurements were obtained from apical four‐chamber view. Results:...
