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...
Atherosclerosis is a complex process mediated by leukocytes, macrophages and various inflammatory markers. Galectin-3 secreted activated involved in cardiac fibrosis, remodeling, inflammation. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between presence severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) serum galectin-3 levels. included 82 patients with CAD confirmed via angiography healthy participants as control group. Angiographic was defined ≥50% luminal diameter stenosis at least one...
Objectives There is accumulating evidence that inflammation plays a major role in the development of slow coronary flow (SCF) phenomenon. In this study, we aimed to study biomarker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as it relates SCF. Materials and methods Patients who underwent angiography before had no significant epicardial disease were included study. Thrombolysis Myocardial Infarction frame counts (TFCs) above normal cutoffs considered have SCF those within limits (NCF)....
Background The coronary slow flow phenomenon ( CSFP ) is defined as a delayed distal vessel contrast opacification in the absence of obstructive epicardial artery disease during angiography. There conflicting data medical literature regarding effects on left ventricular functions assessed by conventional echocardiography or tissue Doppler imaging. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether there any abnormality myocardial deformation parameters (strain, strain rate SR ), rotation, twist)...
The aim of this study was to investigate the role adrenergic activity in patients with slow coronary flow (SCF) and its relationship TIMI frame count on pathogenesis SCF. Plasma noradrenalin adrenalin concentrations at rest were compared 51 diagnosed SCF through angiography count; 44 healthy controls normal (NCF). Furthermore, between levels investigated. (127.9 +/-9.2 79.3 +/- 7.3 ng/mL, p < 0.0001) (63.9 2.6 44.7 2.8 higher when NCF. Noradrenalin effected SCF-dominant vessels respect (p =...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the complications human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Despite emergence effective therapies, pulmonary arterial commonly seen, especially at advanced stages. At time diagnosis, a majority patients are New York Heart Association-Functional Class III or IV. Many current screening modalities dependent on detecting rise in pressure (PAP). However, high capacitance circulation implies that early microcirculation loss not accompanied by change...
Aims: Many cardiac and hemodynamic alterations occur after acute consumption of cigarettes. The aim this study is to evaluate the effect chronic smoking on longitudinal myocardial functions left ventricle in young, healthy people by using color tissue Doppler imaging modalities. Methods Results: Ninety‐nine participants were studied. There 65 smokers 34 nonsmokers. All subjects between 20 35 years old. Sample volumes placed mid inner half myocardium at septum, lateral, inferior, anterior...
This study has attempted to evaluate the relationship between aortic stiffness, blood pressure (BP) and serum endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in patients with essential HT. Totally 152 subjects, consisting of 103 diagnosed HT at least 1 year previously 49 healthy individuals, were enrolled this study. They subdivided, on basis BP measurements made home, into three groups as hypertensives dysregulated (n = 56), regulated 47) normotensive controls 49). Statistically significant differences observed...
To analyze the coronary angiograms of patients with symptomatic heart disease in order to determine frequency and characteristics coronary-cameral communications (CCCs) a single center.The 16,573 performed from November 2001 January 2011 were analyzed. The diagnosis fistula microcommunications (CCMCs) was made according previously defined criteria.Of patients, 15 (0.09%; 8 males 7 females, mean age 63 ± 12 years) had CCCs, while fistulas identified 2 (0.01%). In first patient, arose branches...
The aim of this study was to establish the degree aortic stiffness and levels neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with stable ischemic heart disease.Patients who were found have stable, noncritical lesions on coronary angiography included [noncritical artery disease (CAD)]. control group consisted those had similar risk profiles metabolic parameters without atherosclerosis angiography.A total 101 which 56 CAD. Whereas strain (9.11 ± 3.4 vs. 14.01 4.1%, p < 0.001)...
We evaluated the effect of a nationwide media campaign on hypertension awareness in population, which was implemented with aim spreading key messages related to optimal blood pressure levels and encouraging measurements.A project called "12/8 Awareness Campaign" between October 2005 January 2006 using all available mass outdoor aiming improve knowledge people normal values encourage regular measurements. Four survey questions inquire level levels, hypertension, hypertension-related disease...
The goal of this study was to develop a national database patients hospitalized in Turkey with acute heart failure (AHF) using evaluations diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.Patient data were collected an Internet-based survey. A total 588 enrolled from 36 participating medical centers across the country.Mean age 62±13 years 38% female. Ratio de novo AHF cohort 24%. Coronary disease hypertension found 61% 53% patients, respectively. Valvular underlying cause 46% patients. most frequent...
Inadequate expansion of coronary stents is associated with stent thrombosis in early stage and restenosis later stages. Postdilatation (postD) performed using non-compliant balloons improves expansion. However, use this ballooning strategy primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI) has not been evaluated adequately. Patients who presented ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent PPCI were included the present study. randomized into two groups as those for whom postD was...
