We aimed to assess the characteristics of glucose utilization in left and right ventricle (LV, RV) myocardium with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) on positron emission tomography patients pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), evaluate whether predominance RV metabolism as compared that LV relates clinical, hemodynamic, echocardiographic, neurohormonal parameters.The study group comprised 23 PAH 16 healthy controls who underwent FDG tomography. The ratio uptake (u) those was used a marker for...
Thrombosis and pulmonary embolism appear to be major causes of mortality in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. However, few studies have focused on the incidence venous thromboembolism (VTE) after hospitalization for COVID-19.
Acute cigarette smoking enhances adrenergic activity and thus may be associated with hemodynamic changes in the cardiovascular system. In this study, acute effect of on heart rate variability (HRV) was studied. Fifteen subjects were included study. Time domain (the mean R-R interval, standard deviation root square successive interval differences) frequency (high-frequency, low-frequency ratio, low-frequency/high-frequency ratio) parameters HRV obtained from all participants for each 5-minute...
Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The aim this study was to review our initial experience since implementation program. Data were collected prospectively on all who underwent PEA between March 2011 and 2012. Forty-nine (20 male, 29 female, mean age 47.7 years) surgery. preoperative New York Heart Association class distribution showed majority be in III or IV (n = 40). Mortality rate 14.2% 7)...
In the current study, we aimed to develop and validate a model, based on our nationwide centralized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) database for predicting death. We conducted an observational study (CORONATION-TR registry). All patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Turkey between March 11 June 22, 2020 were included. developed model validated both temporal geographical models. Model performances assessed by area under curve-receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC or c-index), R2 ,...
In this single-centre study, we aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term efficacy safety outcomes of ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis (USAT) performed in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) at intermediate high risk (IHR, HR).The study group comprised 141 retrospectively evaluated PE who underwent USAT. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) dosage was 36.1±15.3 mg, infusion duration 24.5±8.1 hours. USAT associated improvements echocardiographic measures right ventricle systolic...
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and potentially lethal disorder that manifests mainly as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the extremities or pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs consequence genetic environmental risk factors. We aimed to assess role inherited thrombophilia causative additive factor in development VTE. Methods: The study included 310 patients (female: 154; mean age: 52.3 ± 16.9 years) with first episode VTE 289 age- sex-matched healthy controls. All participants...
Angiojet Rheolytic thrombectomy (ART) has been utilized as a catheter-based treatment in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). In this study based on our seven-year experience ART patients with PE, we evaluated efficacy and safety outcomes of ART.Our is retrospective evaluation 56 high- intermediate-high-risk age (62 years; interquartile-range (IQR): 50-73) who underwent ART.High- were noted 21.4 % 78.6 patients, respectively. duration was 304(IQR: 246-468) seconds. Measures obstruction, right to...
Given the bleeding risk associated with full-dose intravenous thrombolytic treatment and absence of randomized clinical trial evidence, current guidelines do not recommend reperfusion treatments as first-line therapy for intermediate-high (IHR) pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim this study was to evaluate effectiveness safety ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USAT) compared anticoagulation alone in patients IHR PE. A total 425 diagnosed acute PE determined IHR, 203 whom...
In patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), we investigated the relation of left atrial (LA) deformational parameters evaluated by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) conventional echocardiographic diastolic dysfunction and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level. Ninety STEMI who were treated primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) 22 healthy control subjects enrolled. had examination 48 hours after PCI procedure venous blood samples drawn...
Although left main coronary artery (LMCA) compression (Co) by pulmonary (PA) aneurysm (A) has been reported in some hypertension (PH) series, clinical importance and management of this complication remain to be determined. In single-centre prospective study, we evaluated correlates, impact, strategies LMCA-Co patients with PH.Our study group comprised 269 (female 166, age 52.9 ± 17.3 years) out 498 confirmed PH who underwent angiography (CA) because the PAA on echocardiography, angina or...
The present study was designed to evaluate the characteristics of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and adult cardiology practice patterns for PH in our country.We evaluated preliminary survey data 1501 patients with (females, 69%; age, 44.8±5.45) from 20 centers (AdCCs).The average experience AdCCs diagnosing treating 8.5±3.7 years. Pulmonary arterial (PAH) most frequent group (69%) followed by 4 (19%), 3 (8%), combined pre- post-capillary (4%). PAH associated congenital heart disease (APAH-CHD)...
The present study was designed to determine the effects of tirofiban (Tiro) infusion on angiographic measures, ST-segment resolution, and clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors are beneficial elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), while most effective timing administration is still under investigation.A total 1242 (83.0% males, mean (standard deviation; SD) age: 54.7 (10.9) years) who underwent...
We present our single-center results on ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis (USAT) in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) at intermediate high risk (IHR) and (HR). Our study consisted of 75 PE who underwent USAT (60 IHR 15 HR). The median time delay from symptoms to was 5 days. Ultrasound-assisted resulted improvements tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; artery (PA) mean pressures; Qanadli score; right left ventricle diameter ratio atrial ratio; diameters main, right, PA regardless...
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is frequently considered as a form of coronary disease. Cardiovascular risk factors were determined in patient population with CAE. The 51 patients isolated CAE (group 1), 61 coexisting significant stenosis 2), and 62 subjects 3) included the study, distribution cardiovascular was compared. Thirty had presented typical angina pectoris, 8 unstable 13 atypical chest pain or palpitation. 21 definitive positive treadmill exercise test results. Positive family...
The aim of this study was to investigate the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic predictors ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with classical mitral valve prolapse (MVP).Thirty (nine men 21 women; mean age, 41.5 ± 15 years) sinus rhythm who had VT 24-hour Holter analysis 30 MVP without (eight 22 43 16 were included study.

Myocardial injury defined by elevation of cardiac troponins (cTn) in the course coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been reported, though not fully characterized yet. Using Turkish nationwide centralized COVID-19 database, we sought to determine whether cTn measured within 24 h admission may help identify 30-day all-cause mortality hospitalized patients.This retrospective cohort study was conducted at all hospitals Turkey between March 11, 2020, and June 22, 2020. All patients...
Background Malnutrition reflects the general condition of a patient including physical condition, protein turnover, and immune competence. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is disorder that adversely affects prognosis older adults. In our study, we aimed to show relationship between CI-AKI malnutrition status in elderly patients over 65 years age with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Study enrolled 360 consecutive angiography performed because disease. Patients...
