Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a novel group of oral antidiabetic drugs, have demonstrated cardioprotective benefits and positive metabolic effects in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The cardiac electrophysiological balance index (ICEB) is an eletrocardiographic ratio that provides information about the equilibrium between left ventricular depolarization repolarization duration, offering valuable insights into predisposition to arrhythmias. aim this study analyze...

Imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines secreted from visceral adipose tissue (VAT) contributes to the pathogenesis of certain cardiovascular metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance. Epicardial (EAT) is a form VAT mainly concentrated along coronary arteries. It has been shown in various studies that EAT thickness positively correlated with disease. Due its high worldwide prevalence, prevention management type 2 diabetes (T2D) become major public health challenge....

Background The relationship between cardiovascular diseases and the diurnal blood pressure (BP) rhythm was researched in many studies. It has been demonstrated that nondipping pattern associated with target organ damage worsened outcomes. aim of our study to assess aortic elasticity parameters carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT) diastolic dysfunction terms “dipper” “nondipper” hypertension subtypes. Methods A total 60 hypertensive patients without known coronary heart disease were...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infection resulting in very high morbidity and mortality rates globally. Limited data are available on the cardiovascular manifestations these patients. The aim of this study was to analyse daily troponin I D-dimer levels their impact need for intensive care COVID-19-infected patients.Two-hundred five patients who were hospitalised between 20 March 5 May 2020, with a diagnosis moderate-to-severe COVID-19 pneumonia, analysed retrospectively. Serum...

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been shown to reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). In this prospective study, we aimed analyze effect SGLT-2 as an add-on therapy metformin on P wave indices and electromechanics type DM.A total 144 enrolled. Electrocardiographic were recorded admission at 3rd 6th month combination therapy. electromechanical coupling intervals measured compared.Although decrease dispersion...

To compare surgical risk scores including Euroscore II, STS and Logistic for their predictive ability about postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).Prospective cohort study.Istanbul Yeni Yuzyil University, Gaziosmanpasa Hospital Istanbul Mehmet Akif Ersoy Thoracic Cardiovascular Surgery Center, from June to December 2018.One hundred four patients, undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting operation, were enrolled. Surgical scores, clinical, laboratory echocardiographic parameters...

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death, worldwide. Diagonal earlobe crease (DELC) has been suggested as simple, noninvasive marker cardiovascular disease. Although epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and carotid intima media (CIMT) are closely related to atherosclerosis, the relation between EAT, CIMT, DELC had yet be studied. The present objective was analyze this association.Subjects were apparently healthy individuals referred cardiology outpatient...

Abstract Background Venous thromboembolism clinically presenting with a deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is among the most commonly seen cardiovascular syndromes. The aim of this case presentation to emphasise typical electrocardiographic findings that are detected massive along S1Q3 and S1Q3T3 accompanied by T negativity at D3 derivation based on prevalent negativity. Case We present an adult male who presented was associated tachycardia, haemoptysis findings. Tomographic showed...

Introduction–patients: Takayasu arteritis may involve various parts of the aorta and its major branches. It leads to occlusive or aneurysmal disease vessel. can be treated either with surgery percutaneous intervention. We report a successful endovascular treatment stenosis descending thoracic abdominal in 19-year-old female.Methods–results–conclusions: Self-expandable nitinol stent was deployed adequate opening obtained this patient. Long-term durability approach is matter debate. also...

Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has traditionally been indicated for the treatment of stenosis. However, in this case report, we describe a successful TAVI procedure 46‐year‐old male patient who had previously undergone David valve‐sparing root replacement type 1 dissection. The presented with insufficiency 4 years after initial surgery and was subsequently treated 34 mm Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R prosthesis via TAVI. This highlights feasibility as viable option...

Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the number one cause of death globally.Emergency cases related to CVDs have an important place among all emergency applications.This study was conducted determine competencies intern physicians studying at Faculty Medicine in Republic Türkiye regarding their perspective on cardiology education and expertise, ability diagnose treat cardiovascular emergencies manage these cases. Materials Methods:The included 286 physicians, 149 whom were women...

ST2 receptor is a member of toll-like/interleukin-1 family. After the activation IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway clinically detectable amount soluble form (sST2) released into circulation. Previous studies showed that sST2 levels were significantly higher in hypertension patients than controls. In this prospective study, we aimed to analyze relation and test predictive accuracy level diagnosis nondipping newly diagnosed patients.

Plants belonging to the Ericaceae family, which grow endemically in some parts of world, contain grayanotoxin, causes fatal bradyarrhythmia and circulatory collapse. Mad honey, comes from plants with has various uses, namely, as an aphrodisiac, alternative therapy for GI disorders such peptic ulcer, dyspepsia, gastritis, a treatment hypertension. However, GI, neurological cardiac side effects may arise its ingestion due grayanotoxin contained by this type honey. Cardiac rhythm disturbances,...

Abstract Introduction Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by that infection resulted in a very high morbidity and mortality rates globally. Purpose The aim of this study is to analyses the daily Troponin-I D-dimer levels their impact on need for intensive care COVID-19 infected patients. Methods 206 patients who were hospitalized between 20.03.2020–05.05.2020 with diagnosis moderate-to-severe pneumonia analyzed retrospectively. Serum recorded at least 10 days. Results Average age was...

Kontext: Pro stratifikaci rizika pacientů se srdečním selháním začaly používat hemodynamické parametry. Srdeční výkon (cardiac power output, CPO) je ukazatelem výkonnosti srdce. Index srdeční síly index, CPI) vyjadřuje vztah srdečního výkonu a plochy tělesného povrchu. Cílem studie bylo prokázat prognostickou úlohu klidového CPI u s pokročilým chronickým selháním. Metody: Do byli zařazeni pacienti v pokročilém stadiu chronického selhání, ejekční frakcí levé komory < 30 % ve funkčních třídách...

Introduction As the prevelance of end stage heart failure increases clinicians are left without enough allografts to meet growing need for transplantation.[1] This incompatible difference between number patients and supply suitable organs transplant has increased use marginal donor hearts.[2][3] Reduced ventricular ejection fraction in traditionally been a significant predictor graft non utilization. However, there is evidence accept that some hearts do not initially optimum criteria may be...
