Background: Osteoporosis, a prevalent bone disease characterized by reduced mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk, poses significant public health challenge. Magnesium, an essential involved in metabolism, has emerged as potential therapeutic agent. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of magnesium supplementation on turnover markers, incidence, quality life individuals with osteoporosis. Methods: A systematic search PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases was...
The optimal treatment of symptomatic paravalvular leak (PVL) remains controversial between transcatheter closure (TC) and surgery. This large-scale study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the long-term outcomes patients who underwent reoperation or TC PVLs.
There are many studies demonstrating deteriorated ventricle and endothelium functions in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients. As FMF is an autoinflammatory disease with ongoing inflammatory activity inflammation plays important role the development progression of atherosclerosis some rheumatic diseases, we aimed to investigate early markers patients by measurements serum paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity, mean platelet volume (MPV) malondialdehyde (MDA) level.This study a...
The precise etiology of hypoplasia the posterior mitral valve leaflet (PMVL) remains incompletely elucidated; however, it has been hypothesized to stem from genetic mutations occurring during fetal development. Herein, we present anatomical characteristics and associated cardiac pathologies in patients with hypoplastic PMVL. This single-center retrospective study involved who presented between 2015 2021 at a tertiary healthcare facility. Among cohort, 44 individuals had PMVL were divided...
Objective . The aim of the study was to determine an association between plasma YKL-40 level and echocardiographic left ventricle systolic diastolic function parameters in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Subjects Methods included 46 Serum brain natriuretic protein (BNP) levels were analyzed on admission after one month. Left functions Tei index computed by transthoracic echocardiography. Results Plasma significantly higher infarction (AMI) (101.7 μ g/L versus 34 g/L,...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To test the potential role of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in detecting increased perioperative cardiac risk comparison with troponin I (cTnI) early postoperative period. <b><i>Subjects and Methods:</i></b> Sixty-seven patients who had clinical factors underwent elective intermediate - or high-risk noncardiac surgery were included this study. Serum specimens analyzed for H-FABP cTnI levels before at 8...
Background: Epicardial fat reflects abdominal visceral adiposity and plays an important role in the development of unfavorable metabolic atherosclerosis risk profile. Intracoronary thrombus burden is factor affecting success procedure particularly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, determining factors predicting has great importance adverse cardiovascular events as well most appropriate treatment strategy to prevent failure PCI. Aim: The aim current...
Sweet's syndrome is characterized by skin lesions and fever. One of the rare extracutaneous manifestations cardiovascular involvement including coronary artery occlusion. In this article, we present a case acute myocardial infarction associated with exacerbation syndrome. Coronary angiography has demonstrated normal left arterial system occlusion distal right artery. The patient underwent successful balloon angioplasty subsequent stenting. presence ectasia, aneurysm caused us to hypothesize...
Thymosin beta4 (Tβ4) has been shown to have an important role in healing of damaged tissues and promoting cardiomyocyte survival acute coronary syndromes. We evaluated endogenous Tβ4 levels patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) before after successful primary percutaneous intervention (PCI).The study included 24 consecutive (7 females, 17 males; mean age 55.0±10.9 years) who underwent PCI for STEMI age- sex-matched healthy controls (13 11 57.5±11.7...
Background Carotid artery stenting (CAS) with a carotid protection device (CPD) has become the standard practice in patients severe stenosis and high surgical risk. However, clinical efficacy safety of CPDs are still controversial issues. We aimed to compare outcomes CAS without CPD combined CPD. Methods This is multicenter randomized prospective study registered http://clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02781181). After exclusion, 279 were enrolled (139 group 140 group). The primary outcome was...
A 42-year-old female patient was referred our clinic for investigation of a history acute retinal artery occlusion. Transthoracic echocardiography showed cyst-like, mobile formation on posterior mitral valve leaflet. 2D and real time 3D transesophageal flexible circular structure which attached to Echocardiographic appearance morphological characteristics were suggestive accessory tissue.
is a gram-negative bacterium that rarely leads to infective endocarditis. We presented an interesting case of late dehiscence aortic valve conduit, eight years after the Benthall-DeBono procedure, because anastomotic leakage from distal end conduit and resultant large pseudoaneurysm severe paravalvular insufficiency in setting endocarditis caused by
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. The between ischemia myocardial perfusion scanning not yet...
We presented a 77‐year‐old man with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy applied flail tricuspid leaflet and severe regurgitation leading to right heart failure 2 months after the failed septal ablation. The ruptured anterior papillary muscle resulted from infarction of base ventricle (RV) confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. As septomarginal band is frequently lit up intracoronary contrast that particular attention should be paid RV muscles. And, if muscles or free wall brightened,...
Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis is extremely rare, accounting for <2% of cases. Major predisposing factors are intravenous drug use, implanted cardiac devices, congenital heart diseases, and central venous catheters. Most patients respond well to appropriate antibiotherapy.We report a case with an isolated native due methicillin-resistant staphylococcus-aureus infection which developed after tooth abscess in previously healthy non-drug user young male. After one week antibiotherapy,...
