Several studies have shown an association between psoriasis and atherosclerotic risk factors. In this study, we aimed to evaluate endothelial function by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) insulin resistance Homeostasis model assessment-insulin (HOMA-IR).We examined 75 consecutive patients 50 healthy controls. All subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiography brachial artery imaging for detecting FMD. Fasting blood samples were drawn from all measuring insulin, C-peptide, fasting glucose....
Aspirin resistance (AR) is increased in diabetic patients. It not known whether glycemic control has effect on AR.To test the hypothesis that might have influence aspirin resistance, we measured and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) We also nondiabetic subjects compared results with group.We examined AR 108 patients 67 impedance platelet aggregometry. Glycemic was evaluated according to both fasting blood glucose (FBG) HbA1c levels.According analyses, had significantly higher (P < 0.01), alanine...

Background: Although predictive value of heart rate recovery (HRR) has been tested in large populations, the reproducibility HRR treadmill exercise test not assessed prospectively.This prospective study examined whether index test-retest stability short term.Methods: A total 52 healthy volunteers without cardiovascular risk factors (mean age, 30 ± 10 years, females) underwent standardized graded test, and was repeated on 7th 30th days.The subjects' maximal rates decrease from peak level to...
Functional dyspepsia (FD) can be described as the presence of symptoms such bothersome postprandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain, and burning without any evidence structural disease. The aim this study was to evaluate autonomic nervous system using heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with distress syndrome pain syndrome.The population included 64 consecutive a diagnosis FD 62 age-matched sex-matched healthy control individuals no clinical gastrointestinal, systemic, or...
The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to evaluate heart rate recovery (HRR) in normotensive and hypertensive individuals with either nondipper or dipper type circadian rhythm blood pressure. Eighty-five patients were divided into 4 groups according presence hypertension pattern pressure as follows: (1) normotensive/dipper, n=20; (2) normotensive/nondipper, n=21; (3) hypertensive/dipper, n=22; (4) hypertensive/nondipper, n=22. HRR indices calculated by subtracting first, second,...
Atrial arrhythmias are common problems in hypertensive patients. electromechanical delay (AEMD) can be used to evaluate development of atrial arrhythmias. The authors aimed assess inter- and intra-AEMD study population consisted 200 medically treated patients 151 normotensive controls. Inter-AEMD intra-left AEMD were measured from parameters Doppler tissue imaging. There 72 (36%) with diastolic dysfunction, 128 (64%) without healthy (59 ms [36-104 ms] vs 42 [36-68 46 [30-82 ms]) was...
The aim of the study was to investigate relationship between atrial septal aneurysms (ASAs) and cardiac arrhythmias via signal-averaged P-wave duration (SAPWD) dispersion (Pd).Sixty-six patients with ASA served as group (group 1; 28 men 38 women; mean age, 34 +/- 10 years) 62 healthy volunteers control 2; 29 33 31 8 in current study. ASAs were diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography based on criteria a minimal aneurysmal base > or =15 mm; an excursion =10 mm. All subjects evaluated...
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between microalbuminuria (MA) and presence extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Four hundred two consecutive patients were divided into 4 groups based on diabetes mellitus (DM) MA: DM(+)/MA(+), DM(+)/MA(-), DM(-)/MA(+), DM(-)/MA(-). Severity CAD was assessed by Gensini scoring system. Results: The score 57 ± 38.2 vs 16.5 19.5 (P < .001) in DM(+)/MA(+) DM(+)/MA(-) 45 39.8 9.9 16.6 DM(-)/MA(+) DM(-)/MA(-) groups.
