The aim of this study is to investigate the association between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and severity coronary atherosclerosis. A total 172 patients undergoing angiography were included in study. Control group consisted with normal arteries. Patients stenosis divided into 2 groups by use Gensini scores. NLR was higher severe atherosclerosis compared mild control ( P < .001). In correlation analysis, showed significant score. cutoff value 2.5 for predicted a sensitivity...
Background: Increased epicardial fat thickness (EFT) has been proposed as a new cardiometabolic risk factor. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) predictive and prognostic value in several cardiovascular diseases. aim of this study was to explore the association between EFT NLR patients with pre-eclampsia.Methods: Hundred eight pregnant mean age 30.6 ± 6.3 years were included study. Patients divided into two groups based on presence pre-eclampsia. All participants underwent transthoracic...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hematologic indices and Global Registry Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A total 800 who consecutively retrospectively presented STEMI within 12 hours symptom onset. After accounting for exclusion criteria, a 379 remained study. We enrolled (mean age 61.7 ± 13.6 years; men 73%). Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet (PLR), red cell distribution width...
Background: It is unclear whether warfarin treatment with high time in therapeutic range (TTR) as effective and safe non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs). crucial to compare TTR NOACs predict long-term adverse events patients atrial fibrillation. Aims: We aimed the follow-up results of fibrillation (AF) who use vitamin antagonists (VKAs) NOACs. Methods: A total 1140 were followed at 35 different centers for five years. During period, international normalized ratio (INR)...
The aim of the study is to investigate association between severity rheumatic mitral valvular disease (RMVD) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). A total 227 patients were enrolled in divided into 3 groups. Patients group 1 had stenosis (RMS), those 2 RMVD without stenosis, served as control group. Group was further groups, severe (MS) mild moderate MS. NLR significantly higher with MS when compared (P = .002) while lymphocyte count lower .034). Using a cutoff level 2.56, predicted RMS...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is composed of a heterogeneous group disorders marked by increased pulmonary artery resistance leading to right heart failure, with high mortality. Evidence increasing propose that inflammation plays significant role in the pathophysiological mechanism. Increased prevalence PH patients systemic inflammatory diseases already known. Herein, we sought evaluate association between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (N/L ratio) and arterial (PAH).Twenty-five PAH 25 controls...
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is acute kidney failure that occurs after exposure to contrast agent. There no sensitive biomarker predict the development of CIN. In a retrospective study, we investigated predictive value fibrinogen albumin ratio (FAR) determine risk CIN in patients (N = 246) who underwent carotid angiography. was defined as 0.5 mg/dL or 25% increase serum creatinine levels 48 72 hours following radiocontrast Patients were grouped according whether they developed not, is,...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Objectives:</bold> The relationship between hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, platelet (HALP) score, and various cancers cardiovascular diseases has been tested previously. However, the HALP score non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) not adequately tested. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate mortality in patients with NVAF. <bold>Methods: </bold>This included 2,592 NVAF from 35 centers Turkey. Patients were divided into two groups: those scores ≤ 58.96...
The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet/lymphocyte (PLR), and uric acid (UA) are inflammatory markers in cardiovascular disease. However, there not enough data on infarct-related artery (IRA) patency ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to investigate association of NLR, PLR, UA with IRA before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) STEMI.
The present study aimed to examine the association of C-reactive protein albumin ratio (CAR) with short-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). We included 539 STEMI patient treated pPCI this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according MACE development. had higher CAR than those without (1.18 [0.29-1.99] vs 0.21 [0.09-0.49], P < .001). Multivariate...
The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency oral anticoagulant drugs and time in therapeutic range patients receiving warfarin addition epi-demiological trial non-valvular atrial fibrillation previously conducted Turkey (The Atrial Fibrillation: Epidemiological Registry trial). Furthermore, prevalence major adverse events mortality rates were evaluated during long-term follow-up period.We created a national data registry for patients, reflecting all geographic regions by...
The thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score is calculated as the sum of independent predictors mortality and ischemic events ST elevation acute (STEMI). Several studies show that neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) a prognostic inflammatory marker. In preliminary studies, platelet (PLR) has been proposed pro-thrombotic relationship between NLR, PLR TIMI for STEMI never studied.To evaluate association TIMI-STEMI other biochemical indices STEMI.In this retrospective study, we...
Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common rhythm disorders observed in clinical practice, a multicenter epidemiological study has not been conducted our country. This aimed to assess approach AF based upon records first prospective Atrial Fibrillation Turkey: Epidemiologic Registry (AFTER) study.Taking into consideration distribution population country, 2242 consecutive patients with at least attack determined by electrocardiographic examination 17 different tertiary health...
Background: AFTER (Atrial Fibrillation in Turkey: Epidemiologic Registry) is a prospective, multicenter study designed with the aim of describing prevalence and epidemiology AF practice Turkey. This aims to evaluate stroke risk non-valvular atrial fi brillation (AF) anticoagulant drug utilization within conformity guidelines. Methods: Patients were recruited 17 referral hospitals refl ecting all population 7 geographical regions 2242 consecutive patients who had been admitted on ECG included...
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between serum thyroid hormone levels that are within normal range and presence severity coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients referred for angiography.In observational study, we enrolled 119 consecutive (77 men, mean age 60.7±13.8 years) who underwent angiography. Blood samples were tested stimulating (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3) thyroxine (FT4) concentrations. Additionally, risk factors, clinical characteristics angiographic...
Objective. Epicardial fat has been proposed as a new cardiometabolic risk factor. Although epicardial thickness (EFT) is associated with hypertension, the relationship between diurnal blood pressure profiles and EFT still unknown. The purpose of this study to investigate association echocardiographic in hypertensive patients. Methods. After ambulatory pressures 123 patients were monitored, they divided into three groups according clinical diagnoses: 41 (33.3%) normotensive group, 40 (32.5%)...
Previous studies have reported a relationship between serum bilirubin levels and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, data are rare up to now regarding the relation of with infarct-related (IRA) patency in setting ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Moreover, previous that increased was related impaired post-intervention flow. To our knowledge, association total (TB) pre-primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) IRA flow STEMI patients has not been investigated.To evaluate...
Background: Arterial stiffness (AS), the term describes rigidity of arterial walls, and its hemodynamic results have been shown to be associated with increase in future cardiovascular events. Women pre-eclampsia their past pregnancies a higher risk developing disease later life. The goal this study was assess AS using non-invasive simple oscillometric method pregnant women without pre-eclampsia.Methods: Ninety women, forty-five which had pre-eclampsia, were included study. vascular...
