Abstract Background Mechanical prosthetic heart valve implantation is a surgical treatment method used in the of severe and symptomatic valvular disease. Regular follow-up functions, clinical laboratory parameters great importance patients who have undergone implantation. Chronic subclinical intravascular hemolysis frequently seen this patient group, but its management long-term adverse effects are uncertain. In study, it was aimed to determine on endothelium by comparing frequency events...
COVID-19 is a multi-systemic infectious disease. Nearly 20%-30% of hospitalized patients have evidence acute myocardial involvement, portending poorer prognosis. However, information about the long-term effects disease on cardiac functions sparse. As result, there growing concern sequelae among survivors. This study aimed to investigate prior mild-moderate infection functions, using speckle tracking echocardiography.Patients who been diagnosed with within previous 6 months and age-, sex-,...
Aim . Vitamin D deficiency has a high prevalence in the population and is highly associated with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate subclinical left ventricular (LV) function using strain analysis healthy individuals vitamin deficiency. Material methods 113 volunteers were enrolled (age, 44.1±7 yrs, 34 male). All underwent two-dimensional (2D) three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking echocardiography after conventional echocardiographic evaluation. subjects divided...
Background:The present study aimed to identify the frequency of Fabry disease in patients with cardiac hypertrophy unknown etiology and evaluate demographic clinical characteristics, enzyme activity levels, genetic mutations at time diagnosis.Methods: This national, multicenter, cross-sectional, single-arm, observational registry was conducted adult a echocardiographic diagnosis left ventricular and/or presence prominent papillary muscle.In both genders, analysis performed by DNA Sanger...
Energy drink consumption is increasing among the population, especially adolescents and young adults. The health effects of energy drinks are unknown. In this study, we investigate low caffeine on endothelial functions assessed by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) brachial artery.Thirty healthy volunteers (15 men, 15 women) aged 19 to 46 years participated in study. Flow-mediated measurements artery were performed recorded per protocol. asked 355 mL containing 53.25 mg after baseline...
Abstract Purpose An elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressure is the main finding in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction, which estimated an algorithm using echocardiographic parameters recommended by recent American Society of Echocardiography (ASE)/European Association Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) guidelines. In this study, we sought to determine efficacy LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) predicting pressure. Methods and Results A total 73 prospectively...
Abstract Background The majority of cases significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are secondary to annular dilation and leaflet tethering in the context RV remodeling due pressure or volume overload, as seen patients with pulmonary hypertension (primary left-sided heart disease) dilated cardiomyopathies. Secondary TR induced by valve dilatation right atrial is referred functional TR, while caused ventricular TR. In current guidelines, GDMT (Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy) effective for...
Visual estimation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is still used in routine clinical practice. However, most the studies evaluating agreement between visually estimated LVEF (ve-LVEF) and quantitatively measured (qm-LVEF) either have not appropriate statistical methods or gold standard imaging modality. In this study, we aimed to assess ve-LVEF qm-LVEF using contemporary cardiac magnetic resonance (CMRI).In 54 subjects who underwent 1.5-T CMRI, echocardiographic images were...
ÖzetObjectives: It is suggested that drug eluting stents (DES) may have systemic anti-inflammatory properties and this can play a role in decreased restenosis rates.We aimed to compare bare metal (BMS) DES for their effects on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, good marker of inflammation.We also investigate the relationship between inflammation levels myonecrosis adverse cardiac events.Materials Methods: Patients undergoing elective stent implantation were grouped as BMS (n=70) (n=42).Basal...
Abstract Aims: An elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressure is the main finding in patients with heart failure preserved ejection fraction, which estimated an algorithm by recent ASE/EACVI guideline. In this study, we sought to determine efficacy of LA global longitudinal strain estimate LV pressure. Methods and Results: Consecutive who underwent catheterization between January 2016 December 2018 were included. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed within 24hrs before...

Entrapment of equipment during coronary angiography is an uncommon but serious complication invasive procedures. Percutaneous extraction trapped material the accepted method treatment. This case report a description diagnostic catheter retained as result collapsing into O-shape in right common iliac artery while trying to engage tip with ostium. rationale and unique wire-balloon method, requiring no specifically designed device, can be simply safely performed similar cases.
The use of prosthetic valves and intracardiac devices has steadily increased in recent years. In this group patients with or devices, infective endocarditis could not be easily diagnosed, general, endocar- ditis can missed many patients. purpose study was to evaluate the diag- nostic performance clinical, laboratory, imaging parameters a pre-diagnosis endocarditis.Ninety-four diagnosed valve device during 2008-2019 were included study. patients' data evalu-ated according modified Duke...
Congenital coronary artery abnormalities are rarely observed.Their incidence ranges from 0.6 to 1.3% in different series.The most common abnormality is the left anterior descending (LAD) and circumflex (CX) arteries originating separate ostia sinus valsalva.Double right (RCA) constitutes a very small group, regarding total number of cases.Although quite rare, majority case reports that have been published Turkey.In series Turkey, this increased frequency was also addressed, even an...
