The neutrophil -to- lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a new predictor for cardiovascular risk and mortality. SYNTAX score an angiographic tool used in grading the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, its relation with CAD severity not yet known. We hypothesized that NLR would be associated greater as assessed using score.This cross-sectional observational study included 106 patients who had undergone angiography stable angina pectoris 69 normal angiogram. Baseline was measured by...

Coronary ischemia can lead to myocardial damage and necrosis. The pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases often includes increased oxidative stress decreased antioxidant defense. study aimed assess levels modified albumin (IMA), malondialdehyde acid (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase in individuals diagnosed with ST elevated infarction (STEMI) non-STEMI.The present prospectively included 50 STEMI patients, 55 NSTEMI healthy subjects.

Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the most common skin disorders. Patients with psoriasis carry an excessive risk coronary artery disease. Visceral adipose tissue around heart affects and coronaries by secreting proatherogenic mediators. It can be evaluated easily measurement epicardial fat thickness (EFT). The aim this study was to investigate EFT in patients vulgaris.One hundred fifteen adult (62 male; mean age 33.6±6.0 years) (Group 1) 60 age- sex-matched healthy individuals (28 age, 32.5±8.3...

Index of cardio-electrophysiological balance (iCEB) has been described as a novel risk marker for predicting malignant ventricular arrhythmia. There remains limited evidence on the effects amiodarone and propafenone used sinus rhythm maintenance iCEB in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim this study was to evaluate AF antiarrhythmic-drug therapy.A total 108 (68 using 40 propafenone) 50 healthy subjects were included study. All groups underwent standard 12-lead surface...

The exaggerated morning blood pressure surge (MS) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Inflammation associated with the pathogenesis of hypertension. We aimed to investigate association between fibrinogen, albumin, fibrinogen albumin ratio (FAR), and MS, which those variables better predictor identifying an MS in newly diagnosed treatment-naive hypertensive patients.The study included 249 patients who were hypertension both clinical ambulatory (BP) monitoring measurements. Morning...

AIM: The aim of the current study was to evaluate index Cardiac Electrophysiological Balance (iCEB) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients receiving Hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin (HCQ AZ) combination therapy determine susceptibility ventricular arrhythmia among these patients.METHOD: Sixty-seven admitted ward were included study.Electrocardiograms (ECGs) obtained from all before initiation treatment and on day 5. QT/QRS QTc/QRS (iCEBc) ratios calculated.RESULTS: QRS, QT QTc intervals signifi...

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is associated with hemodynamic and metabolic abnormalities that cause endothelial dysfunction atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Aortic velocity propagation (AVP), epicardial fat thickness (EFT), carotid intima-media (CIMT) may provide additional information in SH patients. This study aimed to evaluate thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), AVP, EFT, CIMT patients, determine the associations among these parameters. Eighty patients 43 euthyroid (EU)...

Background and Objectives: Epilepsy patients have a higher risk of sudden unexplained death compared to the rest population. Cardiac repolarization abnormalities might be seen in epilepsy during interictal periods. We aimed evaluate changes electrocardiography (ECG) parameters generalized tonic-clonic seizure treated with carbamazepine or valproic acid (VPA) drug. Materials Methods: A totally 129 subjects (66 patients, 63 healthy subjects) were enrolled study. Of 36 on 30 VPA. There 12-lead...

Background and Objectives: Little is known about the upfront two-stent strategy (U2SS) for true coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) in acute syndrome (ACS). We aimed to present our two-year follow-up results on U2SS by using different techniques CBL with a large side branch (SB) ACS patients, including unstable angina (UA), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), ST-segment (STEMI), identify independent predictors of presence major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) after...

Intermedin (IMD) is involved in the prevention of atherosclerotic plaque progression, possessing cardioprotective effects from hypertrophy, fibrosis and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Elevated plasma IMD levels have been demonstrated patients with acute coronary syndromes. No human study has examined role stable who underwent diagnostic angiography suspicion artery disease (CAD). Thus we investigated as a biomarker to discriminate CAD predict those severe require early intensive therapeutic...

Inflammation and platelet activation play a central role in the initiation progression of atherosclerosis process. The Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is new prognostic marker coronary artery disease. PLR significant independent predictor long-term mortality after none-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to evaluate relationship between no-reflow (NR) patients with NSTEMI.

The coagulopathies that present with COVID-19 are thrombotic microangiopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). Procalcitonin (PCT) levels have been shown to be significantly increased in patients comparison healthy subjects/asymptomatic coronavirus-positive patients. In this report, our aim was assess the associations of PCT level DIC severity infection.In cross-sectional, retrospective study, 71 consecutive severe (21 50 without DIC) were enrolled study. obtained from...

AIM: A useful tool for determining the presence of systemic infl ammation is neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).Chronic causes more microvascular resistance, which known to be involved with coronary slow fl ow (CSF).Aortic propagation velocity (APV) can used evaluate aorta's rigidity.We hypothesized that NLR and APV might related CSF.Therefore, we aimed in CSF patients.METHOD: Eighty-six patients 43 subjects normal were enrolled this study.We utilized Thrombolysis Myocardial Infarction...

An isolated single coronary artery is extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.024% to 0.066% in the general population (1), and many patients anomalies are asymptomatic. However, some these can lead sudden death. In this report, we describe a rare case using three different imaging methods.

Objective:  Oxidative stress status in subgroup of heart failure (HF) syndrome still remains unknown. We aimed to study Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), Oxidant (TOS) and Oxidative Stress Index (OSI) both systolic diastolic HF, also ischemic non-ischemic HF. Materials Methods: Consecutive 123 chronic HF patients were included this cross-sectional study. Group 1 consisted 73 (50 23 patients) group 2 50 patients. As a control (group 3), 37 healthy subjects included....

Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) is associated with aortic stiffness in diabetic patients. In this study, we aimed to determine if there an association among the parameters of EFT, velocity propagation (AVP), and carotid intima-media (CIMT) patients non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

The values found be...

Atherosclerosis plays an essential role in the etiopathogenesis of coronary artery ectasia (CAE). The mean platelet volume/platelet count (MPV/PLT) ratio is a new biomarker, and increased MPV/PLT was predictor cardiovascular mortality patients with acute syndrome. We aimed to assess association between CAE ratio.
