Sudden death is common in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiac arrhythmia observed frequently patients with ESRD and thought to be responsible for this high rate of sudden death. This study investigated the prevalence predictors on maintenance dialysis.Ninety-four hemodialysis program were enrolled study. Routine laboratory results noted. Arrhythmia, periods silent ischemia, heart-rate variability analyses obtained from 24-hour Holter monitor recordings. Corrected QT (QTc) dispersion was...
Beta-blockers have unfavorable effects on metabolic parameters in hypertensive treatment. New generation beta-blockers with vasodilatory capabilities are superior to traditional beta-blockers, but studies examining their still lacking. This study aimed compare the of 2 new carvedilol and nebivolol, insulin resistance (IR) lipid profiles patients essential hypertension.This was a prospective, randomized, open-label, single-center clinical trial. A total 80 were randomized into groups: group...
Adenosine is widely used for the diagnosis and termination of supraventricular arrhythmias. There are many case reports few series about proarrhythmic potential adenosine. We sought to evaluate adenosine terminate arrhythmias.The records all patients that received tachycardia were reviewed retrospectively those with a continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) recording during administration included study.Our search identified 52 episodes 46 ECG administration. Following administration,...
Though atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia permanently; there not enough data about prevalence, frequency of risk factors, and adequacy anticoagulant therapy. We aimed to investigate prevalence AF, therapy in patients who were admitted our outpatient tertiary cardiology clinic according current guidelines.Patients, Cardiology between January - June 2010 had a history AF included study retrospectively. Patients' demographic findings, clinical classification,...
Abstract Background : Cardiac troponins are very sensitive and specific indicators of myocardial damage; however, they sometimes found to be increased in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). Hypothesis The aim this study was determine cardiac troponin I (cTpI) creatine kinase isoform (CK‐MB) levels assess their diagnostic prognostic importance before after transplantation. Methods Thirty‐four ESRD (mean age 31.8 ± 8.6 years, 11 women) were enrolled. Serum cTpI CK‐MB measured pre‐...
Brugada syndrome (BS) is characterized by ST segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1–V3), ventricular tachycardia (VT), fibrillation (VF), and sudden cardiac death (SCD) individuals without structural heart disease. The aim of this study to contribute the controversial issue finding most valuable marker that can predict poor prognosis during follow-up patients with a diagnosis BS. A total 68 diagnosed BS or had Brugada-type ECG change between January 1997 July 2012 at Department...
Both Brugada syndrome (BrS) and arrhythmogenic right ventricle dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) can cause repolarization abnormalities in precordial leads predispose to sudden cardiac death (SCD) due ventricular arrhythmias. Although there is controversy over whether BrS distinct from ARVD/C, it believed that both are different clinical entities with respect the presentation genetic predisposition. The coexistence of these two relatively rare also reported, but, some hypothesized more...
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of niacin on high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and cholesterol levels in non-ST elevated acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients.In prospective, open label 48 NSTE-ACS were randomized or control group. Patients continued their optimal medical therapy group patients assigned receive extended-release 500 mg/day. contacted 1 month later assess compliance side effects. Blood samples for hs-CRP obtained upon admittance care unit,...
Mechanical heart valve replacement has an inherent risk of thromboembolic events (TEs). Current guidelines recommend international normalized ratio (INR) at least 2.5 after mechanical mitral (MVR). This study aimed to evaluate the effects a low INR (2.0–2.5) on and bleeding complications in patients with MVR warfarin therapy. One hundred thirty-five who underwent were enrolled this study. The end points defined as TEs (valve thrombosis, transient ischemic attack, stroke) (all minor major...
There are conflicting data in the literature about clinical significance of aspirin resistance.We aimed to prospectively evaluate prevalence biochemical resistance patients on therapy who were admitted emergency clinic with chest pain. We also relation between acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and resistance.A total 338 included study. Platelet reactivity was measured PFA-100 system (Dade Behring Inc, Deerfield, IL). Aspirin determined by defined as a normal collagen and/or epinephrine closure...
