Although myocardial ischemia is known to be significantly related the development of coronary collateral vessels (CCVs), there considerable variation between patients with ischemic heart disease in presence development. The nature this variability not well known. Likewise, it remains unclear whether diabetes mellitus (DM) has any effect on CCVs. aim study was evaluate DM CCVs.Of who underwent angiography during interval March 1, 1993, and June 20, 1998, our institution, 306 were diabetic....
Background —The potential factors that introduce variability into TIMI frame count (TFC) have not been systematically investigated. The goal of this study was to determine if nitrate use, dye injection rate, catheter size, the phase cardiac cycle in which is injected, or heart rate affect TFC and investigate reproducibility TFC. Methods Results increased 1 mL/s, angiography repeated. A coronary angiogram taken first with an 8F then a 6F catheter. After taking angiograms, intracoronary given...
We aimed to elucidate the relation between serum uric acid (SUA) level and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in nondiabetic, nonhypertensive patients (n = 246) with acute syndrome (ACS). Severity CAD was assessed by Gensini score. One, 2, 3 or more diseased vessels were identified 87 (35.4%), 55 (22.4%), 104 (42.2%) patients, respectively. Patients hyperuricemia had higher score, high number vessels, critical lesions, total occlusion. Serum significantly associated vessels. an...
<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Because both high red cell distribution width (RDW) and non-dipping hypertension are closely related to adverse cardiovascular outcomes higher inflammatory status, we aimed investigate whether there is any relationship between RDW dipping/non-dipping status. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The present study involved 123 hypertensive patients 65 age- gender-matched healthy, normotensive subjects. Hypertensive were divided into...
Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) has been proposed as a tool for the evaluation of diastolic function. Controversy exists regarding whether DTI measurements are influenced by preload. Changes in circulating volume associated with hemodialysis result preload reduction. To determine influence reduction on and standard pulsed‐Doppler transmitral velocities, 30 patients (mean age 41 ± 14) chronic renal insufficiency without overt heart disease were studied pulsed before after hemodialysis. From...
The aim of this study was to investigate the value partial oxygen pressure (PO2) changes measured in left atrium (LA) during transient pulmonary vein (PV) closure patients undergoing cryoablation and its relationship with diameter closed PV. carried out on a total 25 cases. grouping PVs made separately as superior, inferior, common, right common PVs. PV measurement from angiographic images obtained after balloon inflated opaque. From LA, difference between PO2 values blood gases before...
The role of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in the progression atherosclerosis is controversial. We investigated relation between HP IgG antibody titres and severity intensity coronary also clinical presentation artery disease (CAD).The patient group consisted 353 patients with angiographically proven CAD, which contains 3 different subgroups: 163 myocardial infarction (MI), 106 unstable angina (USAP) 84 stable (SAP). Control included subjects normal arteries. were measured by an enzyme immunoassay...
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults is associated with a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors. Some abnormalities cardiac structure and function have been reported adult patients GHD, but there are few data related to autonomic tone. Non-invasive assessment status can be achieved by heart rate variability (HRV), which measured using time-domain or frequency-domain variables. To our knowledge, short-term (6 months) effects GH replacement therapy (GHRT) on HRV limited number evaluated...
Aortic dissection (AD) is a disease characterized by tear of the aortic intimal layer and separation arterial wall. Some risk factor such as hypertension Marfan syndrome well known in AD. However, role genetic factors AD largely unknown. Insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene associated with cardiovascular diseases; patients D allele have higher serum tissue ACE levels. We investigated relationship between I/D non-syndromic acute Sixteen diagnosed were...
This study was undertaken to determine right ventricular (RV) function as assessed by colour Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) in patients with RV infarction.During the period, 35 were evaluated: 14 had an inferior myocardial infarction (MI) and 21 MI without involvement. Twenty age-matched healthy subjects served controls. The diagnosis of defined ST segment elevation >0.1 mV lead V4R. Systolic early late diastolic velocities acquired from apical four-chamber view at lateral tricuspid annulus,...
We hypothesized that the change in aortic elastic properties could directly be shown with color Doppler tissue imaging (CDTI), these findings related to stiffness and distensibility that, through these, coronary artery disease (CAD) predicted. One hundred twenty six patients (group I: 83 CAD, mean age 54+/-10 years, 18 female, 65 male; group II: 43 without 53+/-10 27 16 male) having been evaluated for by angiography were examined echocardiography. Arterial pressure was measured immediately...
Impairment of endothelial functions has been shown to occur after acute and chronic exposure passive smoking (PS), as assessed by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) the brachial artery. A total 61 participants, 30 male 31 female, mean ages 26 (18-36) were enrolled in study. All clinically well nonsmokers. participants stayed for minutes room. Carbon monoxide (CO) level was 7.42 ± 0.98 ppm (4.71-10.50). Mean carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels significantly elevated PS. FMD 18.6% 9% decreased 12.4%...
Two‐dimensional color Doppler tissue imaging (CDTI) has so far been used, in general, to evaluate ventricular function. In this study, the left atrial appendage (LAA) velocity was measured by CDTI. LAA function 38 patients with mitral stenosis sinus rhythm (SR) and 19 healthy subjects undergoing transesophageal echocardiography were examined Systolic (SaV, m/s) at tip of basal short‐axis view. emptying (LAAEV) filling (LAAFV) velocities (m/s) also recorded 1 cm below orifice appendage....
Several studies have evaluated a relationship between increased red cell distribution width (RDW) and morbidity mortality of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the association serum RDW levels development collateral vessel (CCV) in patients with ACS.We 226 ACS prospective cross-sectional study. Traditional laboratory clinical parameters were measured on admission. All underwent angiography first day after admission >80% stenosis included The CCV was graded...
Electrocardiographically, the QT interval is shortened, ST segment depressed, and T wave becomes negative in hypercalcemia. The use of diuretics cases with hyperparathyroidism decreases excretion calcium, causes changes bone-calcium turnover parathyroid hormone activity, forms A 67 year-old Turkish female patient whom we electrocardiographically observed a J presented as hypercalcemic case primary, aggravated by thiazide diuretic.
Two-dimensional color Doppler tissue imaging (CDTI) has so far been used, in general, to evaluate ventricular function. This study examined if the left atrial appendage velocity could reproducibly be measured with CDTI and they have any predictive value for (LAA) function former thromboembolism. Thirty-six patients (24 women, 12 men; mean age 45 +/- years; 18 AF; 11 thromboembolic stroke) mitral stenosis undergoing transesophageal echocardiography were CDTI. Peak systolic (m/sec, peak [PSV])...
