Background and Aim Stable angina pectoris is a common disease that may cause disability. Some noninvasive new methods can be useful for the detection of early‐stage coronary artery disease. The relationship between ( CAD ) severity resting 3‐dimensional‐speckle tracking echocardiography (3D‐ STE in stable patients was evaluated this study. Methods One hundred twenty consecutive 18–80 years age without history to whom elective angiography planned after positive stress test or myocardial...

Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in the form of frequent, monomorphic premature contractions (PVC) can cause PVC-induced cardiomyopathy (PICMP). The aim this study was to determine baseline echocardiographic characteristics and time course degree recovery left (LV) systolic dysfunction patients with PICMP.Study population consisted 348 consecutive (205F/143M, 44 ± 19 y/o) frequent PVCs and/or tachycardia. PICMP defined as LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <55% absence any detectable underlying...

Frequent, monomorphic premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and/or tachycardia (VT) in patients with structurally normal heart usually arise from the right outflow tract (RVOT). The underlying arrhythmogenic substrate for genesis of RVOT tachycardias is largely unknown. aim this study was to investigate genome-wide transcriptional profiling septal wall and control subjects.Transcriptional Affymetrix 3' IVT microarray analysis (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) performed on endomyocardial...

A 33-year-old woman presented to her primary care physician with a 4-year history of palpitations. Twelve-lead electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm frequent, monomorphic premature atrial contractions (PACs) ( Panel ). Premature contraction load …

Right ventricular (RV) function has great impact on the survival of heart transplantation recipients; therefore, careful evaluation is high clinical importance. However, there no standard conventional echocardiographic parameter to assess RV systolic function. Herein, we evaluated correlation between parameters and ejection fraction assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI RVEF) in recipients.Forty-three patients with at least 6-month history were included this study. Each patient...

A 44-year-old female undergoing radiofrequency ablation in the right ventricular outflow tract for symptomatic, frequent premature contractions developed stress cardiomyopathy (Tako-Tsubo). Stress was probably due to hyperadrenergic state induced by procedure itself, dobutamine infusion, sympathetic nerve stimulation at site, and parasympathetic withdrawal with atropine administration.

Allograft rejection is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality after heart transplantation (HTx). Many techniques in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) were investigated to diagnose acute cellular (ACR). However, there not enough information about late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) the myocardium ACR.We prospectively analyzed our consecutive 41 transplant recipients who admitted for routine endomyocardial biopsies. CMR was performed maximum 6 h before scheduled biopsy....

Objective: In this study, we aimed to identify the reasons for and perceived challenges associated with use of digital health technologies (DHT) in cardiology. Method:We distributed an online survey Turkish Society Cardiology member cardiologists (n = 2789) between January 10 March 3, 2022.Results: A total 308 subjects responded (27.6% females, 62.0% aged 30-44 years).Of these, 42.5% worked at university hospitals, 44.8% state hospitals.Smart devices were used by 44.2% (136/308) personal...

Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) ia s devastating hyperinflammatory syndrome. Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) status is closely correlated increased inflammation, both systemic and intramyocardial.This study sought to determine mortality predictors reliable follow-up parameters in HPS that developed HFpEF during the clinical course.Thirty-nine patients, diagnosed as HPS, according HLH 2004 diagnostic criteria, an HScore of ≥169 proven bone marrow aspiration or...

Spontaneous or inducible atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) may coexist with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs). The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and clinical electrophysiologic characteristics patients spontaneous AVNRT among IVAs.Nine hundred eighty-seven consecutive IVA (n = 398), 327), preexcitation syndrome 262) were prospectively included in study.Spontaneous present 36 (9.0%) 398 IVA. most common (97%) mode presentation palpitation due...

This study compared the efficacy and safety of warfarin in specialized international normalized ratio (INR) outpatient clinic (INR-C) general cardiology (General-C).Herein, 381 consecutive patients with a regular follow-up at INR-C (n=233) or General-C (n=148) for least 1 year were retrospectively included. While followed by single experienced trained nurse, different cardiologist who worked rotational principle every month. During controls, demographic characteristics, INR levels, bleeding...

Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare condition that may result from several heterogeneous eosinophilic diseases, including parasite infection, hypersensitivity reaction, vasculitis, and hypereosinophilic syndrome. Regardless of etiology, the disease present with various cardiac conditions, such as acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, or arrhythmia. Irreversible endomyocardial fibrosis, which causes restrictive cardiomyopathy, occurs in late phase disease. Early diagnosis treatment...
