Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia following coronary artery by-pass graft surgery (CABG). The value of SYNTAX score to predict postoperative atrial (PoAF) has not been clearly addressed. We aimed evaluate this relationship in patients undergoing isolated CABG.This study was designed as a single-center, non-randomized, observational, prospective study. Ninety-four on-pump CABG, who had sinus rhythm and were older than 18 years, enrolled. Demographic characteristics...

Estimation of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures is a clinical challenge in patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF). In the present study, we investigated whether LV and atrial longitudinal strain rate (SR) parameters derived by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) could be used to predict invasively measured end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) this patient population. LVEDP was before coronary angiography performed 65 EF (≥50%) referred elective cardiac catheterization; besides,...

Endocardial cushion defect (ECD) can be partial (with two distinct valves) or complete (only one atrioventricular valve), and surgical therapy is usually required. The optimal technique controversial but De Vega's annuloplasty widely performed. Tricuspid valve thrombosis are rarely seen after surgery. We present a 39-year-old male patient with tricuspid without the use of ring.

<title>Abstract</title> Coronary collateral flow (CCF) plays a protective role in myocardial viability. Pulse pressure (PP) is defined as the difference between systolic blood (SBP) and diastolic (DBP), has been associated with various cardiovascular diseases. However, relationship wide PP (WPP) CCF ST elevation infarction (STEMI) patients remains limited. Our objective was to assess how WPP impacts STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI). This retrospective,...

Objectives: Naples prognostic score (NPS) is a recently established that measures inflammation and nutritional conditions. This includes lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte total cholesterol levels, serum albumin levels. Initial studies have shown the NPS has more value than other inflammatory parameters in some cancer diseases. Recently, association of with various cardiovascular diseases started to be evaluated.
