Clinically significant paravalvular leak (PVL) may complicate both surgical and transcatheter valve implantation. Percutaneous PVL closure (PPVLC) is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to redo surgery, with demonstrated lower mortality morbidity rates. Echocardiographic techniques are crucial for accurate diagnosis, defect sizing, determining the appropriate size of sealing devices. There no consensus on optimal imaging modality PVLs. We aimed compare transthoracic...
The present study aimed to evaluate whether the Triglycerides-Glucose (TyG) index has a prognostic value for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including stroke, necessity of pacemaker, acute kidney failure, and short-term all-cause mortality at 12 months, in aortic stenosis (AS) patients who underwent transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). A total 380 TAVI due severe AS were retrospectively included study. main outcome was MACEs months. TyG found be higher developed than those did not...
Background: Metabolic syndrome has become a public health challenge worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for metabolic among adults in Mediterranean region Turkey. Methods: This included total 767 people from 20 83 years old 4 provinces calculated with respect results 2000 census. People city centers, districts, villages were selected by stratified sampling method. Personal histories recorded. Weight, height, waist hip circumferences measured....
Background Levels of galectin-3, a member family soluble β-galactoside-binding lectins, are reported to be higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and metabolic syndrome. Conflicting results exist on the effects galectin-3 diabetic patients. The aim this study was investigate relationship between levels coronary artery disease (CAD), plaque burden, structures DM. Patients methods A total 158 consecutive DM undergoing planned computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were included...
The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) at admission in predicting in-hospital mortality patients with infective endocarditis.133 definite IE (≥18 years) according modified Duke criteria, treated tertiary care hospital between December 2009 and May 2019, were retrospectively analysed. Symptoms, comorbidities, predisposing valvular diseases, prosthetic valve, device, history injectable drug use, blood culture results, echocardiography...
Abstract Background Double kissing (DK)‐crush and T‐stenting small protrusion (TAP) techniques are gaining popularity, but the comparison for both is still lacking. This study sought to retrospectively evaluate long‐term outcomes of DK‐crush TAP in patients with complex bifurcation lesions. Methods A total 255 (male: 205 [80.3%], mean age: 59.56 ± 10.13 years) who underwent coronary intervention at a single‐center between January 2014 May 2021 were included. Angiographic features, procedure...
Introduction: The inflammatory process has been reported to be associated with aortic dissection (AD) from the development prognosis. aim of study was investigate a relationship between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and in-hospital outcomes in patients acute (AAD) who underwent surgical repair. Methods: One hundred eighty-four were admitted diagnosis type A AAD repair at two large tertiary hospitals. According their NLR, 91 had high NLR (>6.0) 93 low (⩽6.0). Results: frequency major...
Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) at admission in predicting in-hospital mortality patients with infective endocarditis. Methods: 133 definite IE (≥18 years) according modified Duke criteria, treated tertiary care hospital between December 2009 and May 2019, were retrospectively analysed. Symptoms, comorbidities, predisposing valvular diseases, prosthetic valve, device, history injectable drug use, blood culture results,...
Objectives Fragmented QRS (fQRS) has been found to be associated with high mortality and arrhythmic events in acute coronary syndromes. Regional systolic function using wall motion score index (WMSI) is an alternative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for the assessment of function. The aim this study was investigate relation between presence fQRS on admission electrocardiogram (ECG) WMSI ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent primary intervention (PCI). in‐hospital...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is found to be associated with deterioration of the left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic functions. One factors for this impairment myocardial fibrosis. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes are The aim study was evaluate if presence fQRS on electrocardiogram (ECG) can detect pronounced in LV functions MetS patients.The included 111 (mean age 47 ± 9, 49.5% male) patients 96 45 58.3% control subjects without MetS. ECG evaluated fQRS. Each patient underwent...
Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common disease which associated with high mortality and morbidity. Circulating level of copeptin, was demonstrated to be elevated in heart failure, acute myocardial infarction arterial hypertension, were reported independent predictors poor outcome recent studies. The aim the present study investigate clinical utility copeptin diagnosis APE.A total 90 consecutive patients, admitted emergency service due chest pain and/or dyspnea who underwent computerized...
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing surgical replacement (AVR).Methods: Four hundred seventy-six degenerative who underwent successful isolated AVR were enrolled.Hospitalization due heart failure, reoperation, paravalvular leakage rates, and longterm mortality evaluated whole study group.The participants divided into two groups, as 443 without (group 1) 33 2) during follow-up...
The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), based on serum albumin and lymphocyte concentration, is an inflammation-based score that has been shown to be a determinant in several populations. aim of this study was investigate the impact PNI mortality patients with infective endocarditis (IE).A total 131 IE were enrolled retrospective study. divided into 2 groups in-hospital mortality. value evaluated, as well baseline clinical demographical variables.Among group, 29 died during median follow-up...
Abstract Background One of the hallmarks frailty in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is malnutrition, for which one most up‐to‐date scoring systems Naples prognostic score (NPS). This study sought to investigate predictive role NPS determining mortality undergoing transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) under long‐term follow‐up. Methods A total 430 consecutive symptomatic AS who underwent TAVR were included retrospectively. The primary endpoint was all‐cause mortality. population...
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.
Inflammation and increased platelet activation play a crucial role in the initiation progression of atherosclerosis. Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has recently been reported as new independent predictor for major adverse cardiovascular events diseases.To investigate relation between PLR mortality patients with intermittent claudication or critical limb ischemia (CLI) both.In our retrospective study, 602 consecutive who were admitted to large tertiary hospital diagnosis symptomatic...
The patients with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism who have acute right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and myocardial injury without overt hemodynamic compromise may be candidates for thrombolytic therapy. Alternative low-dose therapy strategies prolonged infusion further decrease the complication rates as its efficacy safety been previously proven in management of prosthetic valve thrombosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes regimen patients. This study...
