Hypoalbuminemia is associated with a poor prognosis in patients end-stage renal disease, chronic ischemic heart failure (HF), and stroke. We aimed to investigate its prognostic value acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI).We retrospectively enrolled 1706 STEMI p-PCI. prospectively followed up the for median duration of 40 months.On admission, hypoalbuminemia (<3.5 g/dl) was present 519 (30.4%) patients. The...
The aim of this study was to evaluate left atrial deformations using speckle tracking echocardiography for predicting appendage ( LAA ) thrombus in patients with suspected cardioembolic stroke who were normal sinus rhythm. A total 153 ischemic (89 males, 64 females) rhythm having cardioembolism included the study. underwent conventional two‐dimensional (2 D echocardiogram and 2 atrium. Left peak strain LA ‐4 C ‐ RES precontraction PUMP measured. Patients divided into groups according...
Abstract Objectives : The aim of this pilot study was to compare intracoronary bolus‐only with standard intravenous bolus plus maintenance infusion tirofiban respect improvement in myocardial reperfusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p‐PCI). Background Changes clinical practice may obviate the need for a small molecule glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors current practice. Methods Forty‐nine patients undergoing p‐PCI were randomized either ( n = 25) or 24) tirofiban. end...
Objectives: The SYNTAX score (SXscore) has emerged as a reproducible angiographic tool to quantify the extent of coronary artery disease based on location and complexity each lesion. aim this study was evaluate whether SXscore is an independent predictor long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients treated with primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: A total 2993 STEMI who underwent PCI were stratified into 4 groups...
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has been traditionally associated with increased mortality and adverse cardiovascular events. We sought to determine whether CIN a negative impact on the long-term outcome of patients non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).A total 312 consecutive (mean age 59 years, 76% male) who presented NSTEMI had undergone an early invasive procedure were retrospectively included. was defined as either 25% or 0.5-mg/dl increase in baseline serum...
Background Right ventricular ( RV ) function is known to be impaired in the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Epicardial adipose tissue a metabolically active organ that generates various bioactive molecules, which might affect cardiac and morphology. Thus, we hypothesized dysfunction patients with MetS may related increased epicardial fat thickness EFT these patients. In MetS, aimed assess relation using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE )‐derived strain rate...
It has been suggested that successful percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) decreases the intensity of spontaneous left atrial contrast, reduces size atrium, and improves function in patient with stenosis. However, mechanical functions immediately after PMV have not extensively evaluated yet. The aim this study was to evaluate effects on functions. Twenty patients critical stenosis who normal sinus rhythm (male/female: 4 16; mean age: 33 ± 8 years) were included study. Left before...
To investigate safety and efficacy of left Judkins (JL) catheter as a single multipurpose in transradial coronary angiography (TRA).Most operators use standard femoral catheters instead special during TRA.Patients undergoing TRA through right radial artery (RRA) were randomized into single-catheter approach with JL3.5 two-catheter 4.0 catheters. Primary outcome measures rate success selective stable engagement both arteries JL catheter, procedure fluoroscopy times.Of 314 patients enrolled,...
A combination of warfarin and aspirin is associated with increased bleeding compared monotherapy. The aim the study was to investigate incidence appropriateness in patients atrial fibrillation (AF) or mechanical heart valve (MHV).This cross-sectional included consecutive AF MHV on chronic therapy (>3 months) without acute coronary syndrome have not undergone a revascularization procedure preceding year. Medical history, concomitant diseases, treatment data were acquired through patient...
Transthoracic echocardiography of a 27-year-old male with past medical history stroke revealed severely dilated left ventricle and multiple prominent trabeculations in both ventricles (Fig. 1).Cardiac MRI confirmed the diagnosis biventricular noncompaction 2, Videos 1 2).He is still on our heart transplant list.
Double-orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by two separate orifices of varying sizes in association with the abnormalities subvalvular apparatus. It has been reported to be associated variety other malformations. We report case incomplete form Shone's complex composed complete bridge-type DOMV and bicuspid aortic valve, well demonstrated both transthoracic transoesophageal echocardiography cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
In contrast to its membrane-bound form, soluble endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR) expresses procoagulant activity through binding C. We aimed investigate the relationship between sEPCR levels and in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).The study population included 60 STEMI who had undergone a primary percutaneous coronary intervention 29 stable angina pectoris (SAP) significant stenosis on angiography. Preprocedural were determined all patients.In group,...
The management of anticoagulated patients with warfarin during dental extraction is an intricate issue. We carefully designed the current study so that amount bleeding was measured objective methods and data from same patient in different appointments could be compared, eliminating diathesis differences patients.This prospective controlled conducted 36 adult prosthetic valve requiring multiple tooth extractions. first performed without discontinuation therapy, second procedure a bridging...
Vasodilatory function of radial artery (RA) declines following the transradial catheterization. However, it is uncertain whether impaired vasodilatory develops in every patient. The aim this study was to investigate incidence and predictive factors procedures.Consecutive patients undergoing elective procedures were prospectively enrolled. Ultrasound examination RA recorded just before 1 week after procedure. diameters flow velocities measured at baseline, mediated vasodilation (FMD) nitrate...
