This was a multi-center cross-sectional observational study. The study population included 1788 from 15 centers were divided into two groups: era (March 11st–May 15st, 2020; n = 733) or pre- group 2019; 1055). Also, grouped as (n 65)...
Heart failure (HF) is an important health issue of the 21st century and prevalence in Turkey has been reported as 2.9%. A national profile, frequency data, characteristics different phenotypes, risk factors have not yet well established. The Snapshot Evaluation Failure Patients (SELFIE-TR) was analysis a representative sample HF patients from Turkey.A total 23 centers with at least 2 cardiologists 12 NUTS-1 regions were invited to participate research. contributing shared data consecutive...
Post-operative atrial fibrillation is an important complication after coronary bypass surgery. As inflammation and oxidative stress were makedly encountered in the etiology, high cholesterol was also defined to provoke fibrillation. In this present study, relationship between postoperative preoperative serum lipid levels evaluated. A total of 100 patients, who operated at department Cardiovascular Surgery our hospital included study analysis. Patients, had fibrillation, thyroid dysfunction,...
Objective: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after trastuzumab treatment in erb-2 breast cancer cases has been fully investigated.However, there is not enough data about the effect of on right (RV) functions.This study designed to evaluate heart changes by performing echocardiography patients with cancer.Methods: Forty-two consecutive overexpression mean age 50.4±11.6years who were decided receive enrolled.Echocardiographic examinations including 2-D, spectral, and tissue Doppler...
Heart failure (HF) is a growing public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. Recently, angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) has emerged as promising treatment for HF reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Here, we shared our experience the use of ARNi in HFrEF from multiple centers Turkey.The ARNi-TR multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective, observational study. Overall, 779 patients 22 Turkey who were prescribed sacubitril/valsartan examined. Initial clinical...
Epicardial fat tissue is a visceral depot with anatomical and functional contiguity to the myocardium coronary arteries. The objective of this study was evaluate association between epicardial thickness (EFT) cardiac changes in healthy female subjects. population consisted ninety-six consecutive (mean age 31.1 ± 6.7 years) who underwent transthoracic echocardiography. EFT measured by Subjects were divided into two groups according EFT; < 6 mm ≥ mm. structural changes, increased left atrial...
Abstract Introduction Quality of life has become an important outcome measure in addition to mortality and morbidity patients with congenital heart disease. Atrial septal defect is a common disease, transcatheter atrial closure accepted treatment modality. The aim this study assess the quality who underwent percutaneous closure. Materials methods We examined 69 healthy controls matched according age, sex, educational level, economic, marital, employment status. was investigated using Turkish...
We evaluated the effect of radiotherapy (RT) on elastic properties aorta using echocardiography in patients with breast cancer (BC). A total 105 women left-sided epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (erb-2) BC were divided into groups, group 1 who did not receive RT and received RT. In all patients, echocardiographic examination serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels determined. significant decrease aortic distensibility (AD) increase hs-CRP seen from to 2. The AD was...
The bioresorbable vascular scaffold system (BVS) is the latest fully absorbable therapy that used to treat coronary artery disease. BVS has been in different lesion subsets, such as acute thrombotic lesions, bifurcation ostial lesions and originating from bypass grafts. However, data about use of chronic total occlusions (CTO) are limited. We report our experience for treatment CTOs terms procedural features one-year clinical follow-up results.An analysis was made 41 consecutive patients...
The quality of life (QoL) is impaired in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the data on perceived QoL different types AF limited. In this study, we investigated intermittent and chronic AF.The study was designed as an observational cross-sectional 135 consecutive documented admitted to cardiology outpatient clinic a tertiary hospital were recruited. pattern classified or AF. European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) classification symptom severity score used quantify symptoms...
Obesity has been linked to a spectrum of minor cardiovascular changes. The aim this study was determine the effect obesity on cardiac functions and its relations with subclinical hypothyroidism in healthy women.Eighty-eight consecutive "healthy" females (mean age: 31.2±6.6 years) were included study. Thyroid function tests echocardiography studies performed all patients. Height, weight, waist hip circumference also measured. A body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2 considered obese.Left...
