Objective Identification of patients at risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence with using simple and objective parameters may be helpful in tailoring the treatment. In this study, we investigated whether E/(Ea×Sa) Ea/(Aa×Sa) could a predictor AF after cardioversion. (E = early diastolic transmitral velocity, Ea mitral annular Aa late Sa systolic velocity). Methods total, 127 persistent were evaluated study 73 included according to criteria. Sinus rhythm (SR) was achieved 70 electrical...

Gender-related differences have been described in the clinical characteristics and management of patients with chronic heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, published data are conflictive this regard.We investigated variables between male female from ATA study, a prospective, multicentre, observational study that included 1462 outpatients HFrEF January June 2019.Study population was predominantly (70.1%). In comparison to men, women were older (66 ± 11 years vs 69 12...

Abstract Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a factor that causes an increase in mortality and morbidity. Therefore, predicting post‐CABG AF development important for treatment management. In this study, we investigated the value of ratio E/(Ea × Sa) as combined systolic‐diastolic index development. Methods This prospective study included 102 patients who underwent only isolated bypass. Preoperative demographic features, biochemical,...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect cardiac rhythm on echocardiographic mitral valve area (MVA) and transmitral gradient calculation in relation net atrioventricular compliance (Cn).Patients (n=22) with mild or moderate pure rheumatic stenosis (MS) (MVA <2 cm2 MVA >1 cm2) atrial fibrillation (AF) were evaluated. All patients underwent transthoracic electrical DC cardioversion under amiodarone treatment. Nineteen 22 successfully converted sinus (SR). evaluated echocardiography...

Circumflex coronary artery anomalies are the most common type so far observed. However, a dual origin of circumflex is an extremely rare anomaly. We describe two different patients admitted to our clinic with acute syndrome at same day. Angiography revealed twin arteries: one from left main and other proximal right artery.

Constrictive pericarditis is characterized by thick pericardial fibrosis and frequent calcification that progressively impairs diastolic filling of the heart. The diagnosis constrictive has been challenging even though multiple diagnostic modalities have developed. constructive especially difficult in localized which extremely rare. We report a case with 3D multislice cardiac computed tomography ( CT ) finding band causing strangulation hourglass shaping right ventricle.

Increased Tp-e interval (from the peak-to-the-end of electrocardiographic T wave) and Tp-e/QT ratio are associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias. We aimed to evaluate acute effects levosimendan on interval, ratio, Tp-e/QTc QRS in patients severe heart failure. Methods. The study included 85 decompansed failure, who were treated our cardiology department. evaluated retrospectively. QT assessed precordial leads. duration was determined single lead which had longest QRS....

Right ventricle perforation is an uncommon, but potentially fatal, possible complication of pericardiocentesis. We presented a case right ventricular that developed during urgent pericardiocentesis due to tamponade. This was successfully treated with the incremental removal drainage catheter, replacing it smaller catheter at 10-minute intervals. may be alternative option treat iatrogenic puncture occurring without cardiac surgery or vascular closure device.

Abstract Background To evaluate the diagnostic utility of basal and post‐exercise QRS‐T angle in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods This cross‐sectional observational study analyzed 190 angina. The is measured on 12‐lead electrocardiograms at baseline just after stopping treadmill stress test undergoing conventional angiography (CAG). pre‐ ΔQRS‐T were analyzed. Results Of patients, 66 (34.7%) assigned to group 1 (patients lesion) 124 (65.3%) 2 without CAG. There was...

Aim: The Selvester QRS score (SSc) on surface electrocardiogram (ECG) has prognostic value in various cardiac events related to myocardial scarring. Furthermore, the SSc system been validated by post-mortem studies. In this cohort, we assessed utility of for prediction re-hospitalization patients with ischemic heart failure (HF). Methods: retrospective cohort study, data fifty-four consecutive HF were analyzed. ECGs collected at first day admission and SScs calculated. primary endpoint was...

Today, percutaneous coronary treatment and anticoagulation therapies are commonly used worldwide, which is why the incidence of reported left ventricular (LV) thrombus decreased. Despite modern methods, we still encounter thromboembolic complications resulting in morbidity mortality a large number patients, especially after silent infarctions. Because high embolism risk, early detection LV crucial. We present rare interesting case 34-year-old patient diagnosed with large, fragmented, very...

Background and objective Eosinophils are associated with thromboembolic events. Since eosinophils eliminated in the pulmonary vasculature, right-to-left shunt (RLS) through patent foramen ovale may increase peripheral blood. In this report, we evaluated of patients regard to presence RLS its quantity. Patients methods retrospective observational study, analyzed complete blood cell count (CBC) (n=47) without (n=31) diagnosed by contrast echocardiography (CE). was identified as mild (5-10...
