Introduction Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary intracardiac tumors. Although histologically benign, they potentially dangerous due to potential risk of systemic and cerebral embolism. In this study, we aimed investigate predictors embolism in patients with left atrial myxoma. Methods This single‐center retrospective study enrolled 93 (mean age: 52.9 ± 15.3 years, female: 70 [75.3%]) between 2014 2018. The were classified into two groups (embolic vs nonembolic) possible Demographic,...
Objective: The new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread rapidly all over the world and caused anxiety disorders. Recent studies have also shown that prevalence of depression increased during COVID-19 outbreak. We aimed to evaluate levels pandemic identify effect pandemic-related stress on blood pressure (BP) control in primary hypertensive patients. Method: A total 142 patients with hypertension (HT) who continued use same antihypertensive drugs before were included study. Twenty-four...
Abstract Aim Current literature lacks a definitive threshold of idiopathic premature ventricular complex (PVC) burden for predicting cardiomyopathy (CMP). The main objective the present study was to evaluate relationship between PVC and left ejection fraction (LVEF). Method This multicenter, cross‐sectional included 341 consecutive patients with more than 1,000 in 24 hr Holter monitoring admitted cardiology clinics January 2019 May nineteen different centers. primary outcome LVEF measured...
Aortic dilatation due to inflammation may lead an increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. We investigated the possible relationship between CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and presence progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The study included 150 patients previously diagnosed with AAA (diameter 40-54 mm) 100 normal controls. Clinical laboratory parameters maximal cross-sectional diameters (measured by computed tomography angiography) were obtained from all participants at baseline...
Several clinical trials have assessed predictors for atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon catheter ablation. With these predictors, a practical and new scoring system can be developed to evaluate recurrence. The present study aimed analyze the predictive value of age, creatinine, ejection fraction-left atrium score potential ablation in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent fibrillation.We retrospectively analyzed records undergoing cath-eter was defined as an...
Background: Epicardial fat reflects abdominal visceral adiposity and plays an important role in the development of unfavorable metabolic atherosclerosis risk profile. Intracoronary thrombus burden is factor affecting success procedure particularly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, determining factors predicting has great importance adverse cardiovascular events as well most appropriate treatment strategy to prevent failure PCI. Aim: The aim current...
Endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM-1 or endocan) is an immunoinflammatory marker strongly associated with inflammation, vascular endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. We explored the relationship between serum endocan concentrations coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR).Fifty consecutive patients ISR 50 control subjects were included in this study. Clinical data angiographic characteristics collected. Serum measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.All divided into four...
The aim of present study is to evaluate the predictive value QTc dispersion, Tp-Te interval and Tp-Te/QT ratio for idiopathic monomorphic outflow tract ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurrence in patients with frequent premature complexes (PVCs).A total 180 (49.2 ± 13.6 years, 74 male) who had undergone PVC ablation between 01 January 2015 November 2018 constituted our population. Patients isolated without any VT recording on Holter recordings inducible at EPS were classified as group....
Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BVT) is a rare arrhythmia that generally observed in patients with catecholaminergic or digoxin overdose. Herein, we present case of BVT and electrical storm (ES) an acute ischemic heart failure patient typically induced by hypokalemia. The was invasive mechanical ventilator (MV) support hypokalemia related to respiratory alkalosis caused refractory despite intravenous (IV) potassium replacement. We also discuss our approach solve alkalosis.
Right ventricular (RV) perforation is a rare but life-threatening complication of pericardiocentesis and usually treated surgically. We presented case RV free wall perforation, which occurred during tried to be closed percutaneously with the Amplatzer vascular plug-III (AVP-III) device. The occluder device sealed it was in an insecure position; therefore, patient underwent surgical repair. As AVP-III device, middle disk thicker than myocardium, may cause myocardium stretch outwards, so...
Background Left ventricular apical thrombus (LVAT) formation is a well-known complication of acute anterior myocardial infarction (AMI). The CHA2DS2VASc scoring system that has been used to estimate the risk thromboembolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. This score also for other clinical conditions. aim this study was investigate relationship between and development LVAT AMI.Method population included 378 (mean age: 56.5 ± 12.3 years, male: 318) presenting AMI January...
The association between hypertensive retinopathy and left atrial (LA) impairment is unknown. Accordingly, it was aimed to investigate the possible relationship LA phasic functions by means of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE).A total 124 patients 27 control subjects were included in study. reservoir strain (LAS-S ), conduit (LAS-E booster (LAS-A ) parameters used evaluate myocardial functions.Hypertensive (with without retinopathy) displayed an obvious reduction )....
