Doppler-derived myocardial performance index (MPI) has been described as a noninvasive measurement of LV function. Our aim was to investigate the effect hemodialysis related volume reduction and heart rate changes on MPI, Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) derived left right ventricular MPI.The study group comprised 32 consecutive patients (mean age: 43 +/- 18 yrs) undergoing hemodialysis. Patients underwent echocardiography before immediately after session. Left MPI from conventional pulsed-wave...
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of systemic inflammation that correlates with cardiac events. This study assessed the association between NLR and presence chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO).The population included 225 patients, control group (n = 75), artery disease CTO 75). was compared in three groups.NLR levels were significantly higher than other two groups (p < 0.001). Bivariate correlation analysis showed positive SYNTAX Score, multivariate logistic regression...
Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients are markedly higher. In addition, plasma NGAL were increased with and chronic heart failure as a complication of infarction. this study, we investigated whether there is difference between the prognostic use ST-elevation (STEMI) preserved reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).235 consecutive STEMI enrolled study. Patients divided into groups according to LVEF. NGAL,...
Objectives The results of the studies in which effect hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on cardiac function have been evaluated are rather disputable. In these studies, was with conventional echocardiographic methods. This study planned order to investigate effects HRT myocardial velocities and performance index (MPI) healthy early postmenopausal women.Method a prospective, controlled study, 60 women were assigned two groups (32 group 28 control group). After parameters measured, tissue...
Objective Atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive, inflammatory disease. Recognition of subclinical atherosclerotic vascular changes before clinical manifestation in an asymptomatic population important for risk stratification and optimal management, which finally leads to the prevention cardiovascular We aimed determine premature atherosclerosis by evaluating epicardial adipose tissue thickness (EATT) arterial stiffness parameters patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods...
Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare entity with fatal complications. Its silent course contributes to large aneurysms compression symptoms. We present 39-year-old female idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patient giant PAA causing severe regurgitation (PR) and symptomatic left main coronary (LMCA). Since she had failed LMCA stenting attempt, underwent surgery. A valve-sparing David-like trunk reconstruction bypass were performed. This case illustrates that procedure can be...
<i>Objective:</i> In this study, our aim was to evaluate the effect of a higher dose atorvastatin on recurrence rate atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrical cardioversion (EC) in addition antiarrhythmic therapy. <i>Subjects and Methods:</i> 48 patients with persistent AF were included study. The randomized an 40-mg treatment group control group. Atorvastatin started 3 weeks before EC continued for 2 months EC. performed using biphasic shocks orally administered...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic disease that affects many organ systems and manifests broad spectrum of laboratory clinical features. SLE patients have an increased risk developing cardiovascular disease. The aim this study was to evaluate inhomogeneities repolarization by using Tpeak -Tend (Tp-e) interval Tp-e/QT ratio were measured from the 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) in with SLE.This included 69 (69 females; mean age 35.8 ± 10.2) 57 control subjects (57 34.5...
Background:We investigated the relationship between peripheral neuropathy and parameters of arterial stiffness carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Material/Methods:The study included 161 (80 females 81 males), 69 whom had neuropathy.All underwent 24-h blood pressure monitoring, were measured.The CIMT was measured using B-mode ultrasonography also transthoracic echocardiographic examination. Results:Patients neuropathy, compared those...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with variety of clinical features. Cardiac involvement present in more than half the patients SLE. Fragmentation QRS (fQRS) presumed marker cardiovascular risk and has not been previously evaluated SLE.A total 56 women diagnosed SLE were recruited. In addition, control group consisting 51 healthy people was formed. complexes also terms fragmentations. All subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiographic examination....
Current guidelines recommend administration of high-dose statins in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It has been reported that upregulate proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) mRNA expression and increase circulating PCSK9 levels. We aimed to compare the effects atorvastatin rosuvastatin on serum oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxidized-LDL) levels statin-naive patients with ACS.One hundred six ACS were enrolled this study. The assigned randomly receive (80 mg/day) or (40 by using...
This study was planned to investigate the parameters detecting risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with sinus rhythm structural heart disease. Forty-five AF and 37 without but disease (Group I) were included this study. Thirty-eight II) had successfully undergone medically or electrically cardioversion after transesophageal echocardiography. The restoration could not be achieved 7 who excluded from After providing rhythm, amiodarone given orally prevent recurrences. Left...
This study was designed to examine the effect of left bundle branch block (LBBB) on systolic and diastolic function ventricle (LV) in patients with heart failure normal subjects. Thirty-six LBBB (group I), 36 conduction II), 41 subjects isolated III) were compared. Coronary angiography performed LV end pressure calculated. Echocardiography all patients. ejection fraction mean rate circumferential shortening The following Doppler parameters evaluated: peak rapid filling velocity (E wave),...
It is known that the QT interval longer in women than men. Estrogen reported to account for prolongation several studies conducted with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) postmenopausal women. Along this, there are conflicting data as regards effects of HRT on and dispersion. Moreover, no evidence about effect exercise parameters. We compared parameters obtained from surface electrocardiograms during resting peak before after 6 months consisting estrogen plus progesterone healthy Twenty-four...
To compare the value of exercise electrocardiography with dobutamine stress echocardiography and technetium-99m isonitrile single-photon emission computed tomography for coronary artery disease, 70 patients either suspected or proven disease underwent echocardiography, (mibi-SPECT) treadmill (ECG). Dobutamine mibiSPECT revealed a higher overall sensitivitiy than testing (90 vs 57%, p0.001; 96 p0.001, respectively). showed specificity both mibi-SPECT 71%, p>0.05; 90 62% p0.05, respectively)...
