Aim The Naples prognostic score (NPS) simultaneously evaluates inflammation and malnutrition, which are two main factors that play a role in the pathophysiology prognosis of heart failure (HF). In this study, we aimed to examine relationship NPS with in-hospital mortality hospitalized patients diagnosis HF.Material Methods A total 496 HF included study. were divided into groups as deceased living. clinical demographic characteristics each patient recorded. was calculated.Results...

Upper airway obstruction (UAO) can result in cardiac complications, including arrhythmias and sudden death. Nasal septum deviation (NSD) is a common cause of UAO. The aim this study was to assess the risk patients with NSD. To risk, we measured noninvasive indicators atrial arrhythmia (P-wave dispersion [Pd]) ventricular (corrected QT [QTcd]) compared these values between NSD healthy subjects.Prospective study.Tertiary referral center.This included 53 consecutive who had underwent...

Inflammation plays a critical role in atherosclerosis. This study examines the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on inflammatory parameters, obtained from complete blood count (CBC) biochemical measurements, patients with acute coronary syndrome.One hundred syndrome (ACS) were included grouped according to (n = 50) or usage as an anti-aggregant (with acetylsalicylic acid). All underwent percutaneous intervention. On admission, at third- sixth-month after ACS, white cell (WBC) count,...

Inflammation plays a key role in the initiation and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is novel inflammatory parameter that has been shown to be associated with CAD.This study aimed investigate relationship between SII collateral circulation (CCC) patients stable CAD chronic total occlusion (CTO).The were divided into two groups, poor CCC good CCC, according Rentrop Classification. Ninety-four had 81 CCC. parameters calculated from...

With recent advances in genome sequencing technology, a large body of evidence has accumulated over the last few years linking alterations microbiota with cardiovascular disease. In this study, we aimed to compare gut microbial composition using 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) techniques patients coronary artery disease (CAD) and stable heart failure (HF) reduced ejection fraction CAD but normal fraction. We also studied relationship between systemic inflammatory markers richness diversity.A total...

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disease associated with systemic inflammation and atherogenic risk factors. Therefore, women endometriosis may have increased cardiovascular risk. Aims: We aimed to evaluate arterial stiffness using cardio–ankle vascular index (CAVI) in without endometriosis. Methods: enrolled 44 patients 76 age‑matched controls endometriosis.Endometriosis was diagnosed based on histopathologic examination or magnetic resonance imaging. Arterial evaluated...

Objective: To investigate the usability of leuko-glycemic index (LGI) at chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) class 1 for determining extent and severity artery disease (CAD).Study Design: An observational study.

The clinical effect of intracoronary thrombus aspiration during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with unstable angina pectoris is unknown. In this study, we aimed to assess how affects in-hospital and 30-month mortality complications pectoris.We undertook an observational cohort study 645 consecutive who had performed from February 2011 March 2013. Before intervention, 159 culprit lesion were randomly assigned group 1 (thrombus group) 2 (stand-alone group). All followed-up 30...

Idiopathic hyperhidrosis (IH) is characterized by excessive and uncontrolled production of sweat, mainly localized to the soles, palms, axillae craniofacial area. Although IH a disease concerning autonomic nervous system, it not clear yet whether this dysfunction local or systemic.To evaluate control cardiovascular system measuring values heart rate recovery (HRR) systolic blood pressure (SBPR) obtained at various time intervals after maximal graded exercise treadmill testing in patients...

Background and Aim: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome in which ventricular filling beating functions are impaired. HF also causes psychosocial economic problems significant public health problem affecting the quality of life. Effective self-care (SC) non-pharmacological method that contributes to treatment, improves patient's life, reduces repeated hospitalizations burdens. Our study aimed evaluate patients determine factors SC. Materials methods: A total 100 with HF,...

Pulmonary embolism is a common cardiovascular emergency. In case of delayed diagnosis and treatment morbidity mortality high. this report, we presented pulmonary without apparent risk factors, which was initially misdiagnosed as peri/myocarditis.

Introduction:The relationship between mitral annular calcification (MAC) and the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score has not been previously studied.In this study, we investigated MAC CONUT to evaluate of patients with MAC.Methods: A total 275 patients, including 150 125 without MAC, who presented a cardiology outpatient clinic were enrolled in study.Results: There was no difference two groups.Correlation analysis indicated that positively correlated left atrial (LA) diameter...

Pulmonary pulse transit time (pPTT) is a new marker of pulmonary hypertension (PH), which shows the needed for wave to propagate from right ventricular outflow tract left atrium (LA), but relationship between pPTT and diastolic-LA function almost unknown. In this study, we investigated LA-diastolic functions without PH.One hundred fifty-six patients were included in prospectively designed study. Comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation was performed recorded as beginning R-wave on...

Aim: In this study, our aim was to determine clinical factors related the recovery of conduction system in patients presenting with atrioventricular (AV) block. Materials & methods: A total 178 who were hospitalized at a tertiary center due second- or third-degree AV block retrospectively analyzed. Results: During hospital follow-up, 19.1% had fully recovered from According logistic regression analysis; younger age (odds ratio [OR]: 0.950; 95% CI: 0.932-0.967; p < 0.001), acute coronary...

Abstract Purpose To investigate the effects of combination thyroid replacement treatment on left atrial volume (LAV), diastolic functions, and electromechanical delays in women with low triiodothyronine (T3) levels. Methods The study consisted forty-seven female patients primer hypothyroidism. who had T3 levels, despite using tetraiodothyronine (T4) for a while normal thyrotropin (TSH) T4 levels levothyroxine (LT4) started therapy were included study. Biochemical samples (TSH, free T4, T3)...

Miksoma, sporadik (%95) veya ailesel ve sendromik (%5) şekilde olarak ortaya çıkan en yaygın kalp tümörüdür. Multilobüler miksoma tüm vakalarının %1 ila %2'sinden daha azıdır.
