Narrow fragmented QRS (fQRS) has recently been recognized as a significant predictor of prognosis in various cardiovascular diseases.We hypothesized that the presence narrow fQRS on admission electrocardiogram (ECG) patients with decompensated systolic heart failure (HF) any cause would be associated long-term prognosis.Patients hospitalized for HF due to ischemic or nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ejection fraction <35%) were retrospectively analyzed. The primary...
Abstract Background Although previous studies reported frequent premature atrial contractions(fPACs) increased the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, especially fibrillation(AF), there is a substantial inconsistency between reports concerning definition fPAC. In this study, we aimed to investigate relationship fPAC and AF. We further searched for cutoff value prediction Methods retrospectively analyzed ambulatory 24‐hr Holter monitoring records 392 patients included. Frequent PAC was...
Aerobic capacity, defined as peak oxygen uptake (peakVO2), is a marker for aerobic fitness and associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic diastolic function. The aim of the study was to explore relation between atrial (LA) volume index (LAVI) capacity in healthy young male adults. One hundred three subjects (mean age: 34.2 ± 5.5years) were consecutively included study. All underwent echocardiography assess LAVI, LV functions. assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. patients had...
ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] plasma level is a well‐known risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Existing data regarding the influence of sex on Lp(a)‐CAD relationship are inconsistent. Objective To investigate between Lp(a) and CAD in men women to elucidate any sex‐specific differences that may exist. Methods Data patients with measurements who were admitted tertiary university hospital, Koc University Hospital, analyzed. The levels was explored all subgroups created...
Amaç: Ateroskleroz dünyada görülen en sık ölüm sebebidir. inflamatuar bir hastalık olup, damar duvarı hücrelerinde belirgin şekil ve fonksiyon değişikliklerine neden olur. Damar duvarındaki ana hücreler olan endotel hücreleri ile düz kas hücrelerinin ateroskleroz sırasında iletişim halinde oldukları bilinen gerçek olmakla beraber, bu iletişimin mekanizmaları net değildir. PCSK9 ise hiperlipidemi etyolojisinde yer alan molekül birlikte, duvar ateroksleroz artar hücrelerine direk...
Abstract Background Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been clearly demonstrated to be associated with lower rate of new-onset heart failure(HF) in patients under risk HF. In addition, due rehospitalisation and better functional status HF patients, SGLT-2 became the cornerstone treatment regardless diabetes status. New-onset is very common survivors anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) requires preventive strategies, however role inhibition this...
Purpose:The aim of the study was to demonstrate a possible interaction between COPD and CHA2DS2-VASc in predicting incident AF large cohort Caucasian outpatients, participating Catanzaro Atrial Fibrillation Project.Methods: We conducted an observational prospective that included 4322 outpatients (2270 males 2052 females) with mean followup 59.4+22.7months.All patients were referred University Hospital for clinical evaluation treatment one or more their CV risk factors.All underwent physical...
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most important causes ischaemic stroke according to TOAST classification.The CHA 2 DS -VASc score a widely used scoring system for estimating systemic thromboembolism in patients with non-valvular AF.TOAST classification indicates that an may also be due large artery atherosclerosis.Since some atherosclerotic risk factors occur system, we hypothesised this can predict presence complex aortic plaques and their risk.Methods: We...
