Faecal calprotectin is an important biomarker used in the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease. The aim this study was to establish value faecal concentration as a predictor remission ulcerative colitis and its correlation with laboratory, endoscopic clinical findings.The single centre included 126 adult patients established diagnosis consecutively visiting our Day clinic from March 2017 2019. We measured serum biomarkers- CRP, haemoglobin, leukocytes platelets. determined stool,...
To determine the association between number of thymine-adenine (TA)n dinucleotide repeats in promoter region gene coding for estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) and prevalence lone atrial fibrillation (AF) men.We conducted a case-control study involving 89 men with AF 166 healthy male controls. The ESR1 genotype was established by polymerase chain reaction capillary electrophoresis. assess AF, logistic regression models were built as outcome.Men had significantly greater single alleles than...
Background—Current guidelines do not recommend routine use of transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim our study was to identify predictors for left thrombosis (LAT) AF that would require TOE despite anticoagulation therapy, using clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic data which are usually obtained those a real-world setting. Methods—We analyzed from electronic medical records (EMR) consecutive referred two university...
As has been shown previously, patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have left thrombus (LAT) also elevated plasma concentrations of fibrinogen. In this study, we tried to determine if is the consequence a genetic trait and whether fibrinogen could be used predict LAT in AF. We recruited 181 consecutive scheduled for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) or direct current cardioversion. The primary endpoint was presence on transesophageal echocardiography (TOE). recorded routine clinical...
One of the primary causes death worldwide is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Women typically have a lower incidence CVD than men, however after acute events, women higher mortality and worse prognosis. Different CVDs, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, failure, aortic diseases, exhibit these sex variances. These differences raised serious concerns so consideration significant for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, management CVD. In order to highlight need taking into account when...
The survey's aim was to examine the significance of infarct-related artery (IRA) occlusion (verified angiographically) on very long-term outcomes patients with acute myocardial infarction, within STEMI and NSTEMI diagnosis.
SAŽETAK: Tijekom pandemije COVID-a 19 smanjio se broja pregleda te dijagnostičkih i terapijskih zahvata u bolesnika s kardiovaskularnim bolestima.U nekoliko zemalja zabilježen je porast mortaliteta iste skupine bolesnika, kako od 19, tako samih kardiovaskularnih bolesti.Važno nastaviti liječiti takve bolesnike spriječiti nedostupnost zdravstvene zaštite
Seasonal variation in the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy adults with atrial fibrillation: is international normalized ratio value higher summer time?The and safety treatment warfarin are critically dependent on maintaining (INR) therapeutic range.Besides dose warfarin, many factors which interact metabolism may influence stability time patients' INRs range. 1,2Aim: To establish whether there a significant seasonal fibrillation Croatian population. Patients Methods:We conducted an...
The goal: Electrical storm (ES) is a life-threatening syndrome that involves recurrent episodes of ventricular arrhythmias. Data on its prognostic significance strongly suggest these patients have poor outcome and had an increased risk non-sudden cardiac death. goal this case report to show the importance clinical judgment in treatment post myocardial arrhythmia complex patients, such as those with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Case presentation: A 61-year-old male patient...
CROATICACase presentation: A 40-year-old man presented with shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain and tachycardia.Five weeks before, the patient was admitted to hospital due fracture fifth metatarsal bone left foot.The put in a cast for 4 weeks.Pulmonary embolism (PE) confirmed by ventilation/perfusion lung scan.Immediately after admission, started complain about sharp his right lumbar region.Echocardiography revealed dilated ventricle pulmonary hypertension 70 mmHg (Figure 1).A CT-angio...

IntRODuCtIOn: Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is established treatment method for symptomatic patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who do not respond to medical treatment.LV diastolic dysfunction one of the causes symptoms in these also atrial (LA) enlargement. 1-3Since LA size provides important prognostic implications, we wanted evaluate impact SAA on function function. MethODs AnD Results:We analyzed retrospectively...
device-related TR although it has limitations.
Aims: According to research published so far, severe mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with reduced prevalence of left atrial thrombosis (LAT) in patients fibrillation (AF), while moderate MR doesn't seem affect the rate thromboembolic complications. 1,2Our aim was assess relationship between severity and LAT AF.PAtients And Results: We conducted a retrospective observational study involving 450 AF who underwent pre-cardioversion transesophageal echocardiography our department from...
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) refers to any vascular lesion causing narrowing of the renal artery.Two most common causes are fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and atherosclerotic disease with atherosclerosis being that affect arteries.Patients commonly older have multiple cardiovascular risk factors. 1 The diagnostic algorithm for RAS includes Doppler ultrasonography, computed tomography angiography magnetic resonance angiography.According current guidelines, routine revascularization is not...
