Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), which is an autoimmune condition and the primary cause of hypothyroidism, has numerous impacts on cardiovascular system. This research aimed to compare TIMP-1 levels LV strain values in euthyroid HT, hypothyroid healthy control persons. Materials Methods: study included 40 HT patients, 42 patients who became with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, controls. All subjects had conventional echocardiography STE. Global segmental longitudinal (LVGLS)...
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and a major cause of morbidity mortality. The upregulation TRP channels believed to mediate progression electrical remodelling arrhythmogenesis diseased heart. However, there limited data about contribution development AF. aim this study was investigate leukocyte gene expressions non-valvular atrial (NVAF) patients. included 47 NVAF patients sex age matched controls. mRNA extracted from blood samples,...
Objective: Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is a novel cardiac marker used in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which shows myocyte injury.Our study aimed to compare bedside H-FABP measurements with routine creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and troponin I (TnI) tests for non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI), as well determining its exclusion capacity.Methods: A total 48 patients admitted emergency room within first 12 hours onset ischaemic-type chest pain lasting more...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors predicting maintenance sinus rhythm in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) who underwent cryoablation pulmonary veins (PVs).Methods: Fifty-one (54.6±10.4years) AF PVs were prospective trial.The clinical risk and echocardiographic parameters [left (LA) diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction dimensions, spontaneous echo contrast (LASEC), mitral annulus calcification (MAC), appendage emptying peak flow...
Objective Myocardial performance index ( MPI , Tei index) has been described as a noninvasive measurement of left ventricle LV ) function. Our aim was to investigate the influence preload on obtained by pulsed‐wave tissue Doppler imaging PWTDI and determined flow waveforms in patients with end‐stage chronic renal failure CRF ). The second this study relationship between indices both methods. Methods Eighty‐four regular hemodialysis HD treatment were included (mean age 45.3 ± 14.5 years)....
Background Nondipping blood pressure pattern carry a high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications due to higher cumulative overload. We aimed define the role strain analysis for detecting subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in recently diagnosed nondipper dipper hypertensive patients with normal function. Methods Study population consisted two groups patients, Group 1: 45 2: 43 patients. Global segmental two‐dimensional longitudinal were measured by speckle...
Objectives Infl ammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Some studies suggest a link between chronic infections, infl ammatory state, and endothelial dysfunction. However, data related to acute infections are scant. We have investigated: (i) eff ect infection on function; (ii) potential mediators dysfunction.Methods Forty patients ≥ 40 years old with (mean age 53.9 ± 8.8 years), without coronary artery disease or its equivalents were enrolled. Endothelial...
Key Clinical Message This report illustrates a feasible and anatomical solution aiming to improve the success decrease possible hazards such as atrioventricular block during ablation of parahisian PVC s. We tried illustrate specific anatomy pertaining region explain retrograde subvalvular catheter technique overcome these procedural obstacles.
Abstract Background Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVA) from the coronary venous system (CVS) has been increasingly performed, but real effect lesions CVS on epicardial myocardium not studied. Objective To compare effects RF delivered inside distal during IVAs originating left summit (LVS) with ablated right outflow tract (RVOT) using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). Methods Twenty consecutive patients who underwent acutely successful at initial...
Graves' disease has a multitude of effects on the cardiovascular system. In detection subclinical left ventricular dysfunction, speckle-tracking echocardiography is more useful than conventional echocardiography. The aim present study was to compare longitudinal global strain values and venous blood concentration (tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1) TIMP-1, regulator extracellular matrix, among hyperthyroid patients with disease, euthyroid healthy control subjects.The enrolled 40 newly...
ABSTRACT Background Identifying patients who are vulnerable to development of contrast‐induced nephropathy ( CIN ) is essential because its association with prolonged hospitalization, increased cost, and in‐hospital long‐term mortality rates. Hypothesis Individual components metabolic syndrome MetS well‐established risk factors for kidney injury. Nondiabetic diagnosed might be at an developing after elective percutaneous coronary intervention PCI ). Methods A total 599 nondiabetic were...
Ablation of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) originating from left outflow tract (LVOT)/left summit (LVS) is challenging with considerable rate failure. Recently, in a novel approach to ablation these arrythmias, application radiofrequency energy anatomically opposite sites presumed origin arrythmia, has been associated moderate procedure success. Although late elimination PVCs that are persistent following an previously reported, this observation not studied sufficiently. In report,...
Coronary artery fistulas ( CAF ) are a rare cardiac anomaly that can be either congenital or acquired. s have clinical significance because of complications such as dyspnea on exertion, congestive heart failure, and tamponade. The literature also contains case reports presenting bacterial endocarditis. We describe 31‐year‐old man who presented with native valve infective endocarditis related to an unusual form between the circumflex coronary left ventricle. He had giant arteries, which were...
Objective Transradial coronary angiography (TRCA) may lead to endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, this study investigated the TRCA-related dysfunction and its relation operator experience, number of punctures procedure duration. Methods results A total 57 patients (42 males 17 females) who underwent TRCA were included in single-centre study. Nine months after procedure, all radial artery B-mode ultrasound imaging, flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) nitroglycerin-mediated (NMD) techniques...
