Background The aim of the study was to identify clinical factors, angiographic findings, and procedural features that predict no-reflow phenomenon (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade ≤2) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Results A series 382 consecutive AMI underwent PCI within 12 h symptom onset. Patients ischemic symptoms continuing for more than were also included. Clinical, data...
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence heart failure (HF) in adult residents Turkey based on echocardiography and N-terminal B type natriuretic factor.4650 randomly selected aged ≥ 35 years were enrolled. Height, weight, waist hip circumference, blood pressure measurements taken, a 12-lead ECG performed. Advanced age, hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, chronic renal (CRF) assessed. History any disease, abnormal ECG, or an NT-proBNP 120 pg/mL accepted as...
Lifelong anticoagulation is the cornerstone of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) treatment regardless additional endarterectomy, balloon angioplasty, or medical alone. Aim this study was to evaluate rate oral anticoagulant preferences and document direct anticoagulants' (DOACs') safety, efficacy in CTEPH population.Patients' demographic data obtained from database between September 2011 April 2018. In-hospital events, death, venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence,...
Diastolic tissue Doppler (TD) parameters allow prediction of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) at risk sudden death, ventricular tachycardia, or cardiac arrest. The aim this study was to assess the value TD imaging in predicting clinical course HC.Eighty-six HC were prospectively included and followed-up for endpoints (cardiovascular death hospitalization due worsening heart failure symptoms). Patients (n = 25) had larger left atrium diameters, thicker ventricle (LV) walls, more...
Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The aim this study was to review our initial experience since implementation program. Data were collected prospectively on all who underwent PEA between March 2011 and 2012. Forty-nine (20 male, 29 female, mean age 47.7 years) surgery. preoperative New York Heart Association class distribution showed majority be in III or IV (n = 40). Mortality rate 14.2% 7)...
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of heart rate reduction by intravenous esmolol in patients who are assigned for coronary angiography with 64-slice computed tomography (CT).Five hundred consecutive were prospectively analyzed. Patients an initial less than 65 beats per minute (bpm) did not receive esmolol. a between 80 bpm received bolus dose 1 mg/kg 90 2 An additional was given to when target reached first dose. more 50 mg atenolol PO, reevaluated after h.A total 391 > or =65 before...
Abstract Purpose Right ventricular (RV) function is an important factor in the prognosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients. In our study, we aimed to evaluate timing and magnitude regional RV before after balloon angioplasty (BPA) using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) their relation clinical hemodynamic parameters patients with CTEPH. Material Method We enrolled 20 CTEPH 19 healthy subjects study. Enrolled underwent echocardiography, right heart...
Behçet's syndrome (BS) is a multisystem disorder and not known as risk factor for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which the treatment of choice endarterectomy (PEA). The aim this study was to review our experience in surgical CTEPH patients with BS.Data were collected prospectively consecutive BS who underwent PEA over 6-year period.We identified nine (seven males, two females, mean age: 34.7 ± 9.9 years) BS. disease duration before 88.0 70.2 months. All but one...
Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) is an attractive noninvasive alternative to assess overall coronary artery disease (CAD) burden and may reveal plaques, which be underestimated by conventional angiography. The aim of this study was determine whether brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) might accurately predict patients with occult plaques whose angiographies revealed normal arteries (NCA).Thirty-five angiographically NCA were consecutively...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential utility tissue Doppler echocardiography in assessment left ventricular systolic and diastolic function obese population.96 (48 male, 48 female) patients 50 normal weight (25 25 control subjects were enrolled. Obese subgrouped into mild (25-29.9 kg/m2), moderate (30-34.9 kg/m2) significant (> or =35 according their body mass index (BMI). Left functions evaluated by imaging with conventional transthoracic echocardiography. Peak...
Intraventricular dyssynchrony is associated with worsening systolic function, adverse remodeling, and clinical events. The aim of this study to investigate whether intraventricular assessed by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) can predict left ventricular (LV) remodeling after first ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated successfully primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI).Fifty-two consecutive patients who presented acute STEMI were included in the study. All...
The study evaluates the alterations in exercise capacity of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients after endarterectomy (PEA) and investigates echocardiographic parameters associated with degree functional recovery.Thirty consecutive diagnosis CTEPH (17 males; mean age, 45.9 ± 15.1 years) who had been referred for PEA operation were included study. Each patient underwent transthoracic echocardiography 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) before 6 months PEA.After PEA, 6-MWT...
