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...
Aim: To investigate the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and in-hospital deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Material methods: 147 patients with diagnosis of DVT 149 control participants were included in study. For all participants, clinical risk factors, smoking status, other demographic data recorded from hospital registries. The compared participants. Results: Mean MPV was significantly higher than group (8.91 ± 1.86 vs 7.86 0.9; P < .001). Body mass index, frequency,...
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...
Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing in the developed and developing world. It an independent risk factor for heart failure. Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has been demonstrated to be a strong predictor In present study we aimed assess impact body weight on LV function. Methods: was conducted 2,228 participants (1,424 women, 804 men with mean age 49). Traditional tissue Doppler echocardiographic examination were performed all participants. demographic data...
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of activation. An increased MPV associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and long-term mortality. The aim this study was to compare in patients ST-segment elevation (STEMI) non-ST-segment (NSTEMI). Also, we investigated the value on in-hospital mortality prognosis STEMI NSTEMI. We studied 429 AMI (70.4% male, 61.9 ± 12.4 years; 279 STEMI, 150 NSTEMI). count were similar both groups. Elevated risk death by 3.1-fold (p < 0.001) group during...
We proposed a new technique for the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions, called jailed semi-inflated balloon (JSBT).Currently, provisional approach is recommended to treat most lesions. However, it associated with risk side branch (SB) occlusion after main vessel (MV) stenting due plaque or carina shift into SB. The SB may cause peri-procedural myonecrosis hemodynamic compromise. Therefore, strategies are needed reduce during approach.Between September 2014 and April 2015, we selected...
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%)...
Cardiac echinococcosis rarely mimics acute coronary syndrome. The diagnosis of cardiac hydatid cyst might be difficult on account varying clinical presentations and nonspesific symptoms. A 75-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with typical chest pain. patient had no history previous symptoms or any illness leading heart disease. Her ECG revealed ischemic changes. However, her angiography noncritical plaques in the left anterior descending artery. identified using echocardiography,...
Ingestion of acid-containing household products, either accidentally or as a suicide attempt, is common form intoxication. A clear and odorless liquid, hydrogen peroxide an oxidizing agent found in most households many industrial environments. Cardiovascular manifestations ingestion are extremely rare. Here we report 60 year-old woman with acute inferolateral myocardial infarction (MI) after ingestion, who had no history coronary artery disease. Physicians dealing the emergency department...
Objectives: To investigate relation between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and coronary collateral flow. Material methods: Eighty-two patients admitted Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital Cardiology Department with diagnosis of artery disease detected significant stenosis or occlusion at least one the arteries, were included to study. Age, sex, presence diabetes mellitus hypertension, acute/stable disease, body mass index, ratio, white blood count, Rentrop scores number diseased vessel...
Neurally mediated syncope is defined as a transient loss of blood flow to the brain, resulting in vasodilatation, bradycardia, or both. The pathophysiologic mechanisms neurally are not clear. In this study, we investigated carotid artery elasticity parameters patients with syncope.The study was conducted on 41 who were examined by tilt table test. Group 1 constituted 21 had positive response Clinical and hemodynamic compared negative test group (group 2). systolic diastolic diameters...
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the left ventricular functions with transthoracic echocardiography after coronary bypass surgery. Methods: Sixty-four patients who underwent surgery between January 2008 and March 2009 were retrospectively evaluated. diagnosis, age gender patients, presence diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension, smoking, ventricle before recorded. Results: mean 58 ± 6,2 years. Forty-four 64 male, 20 female. lowest ejection fraction measured in two as 30%...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common causes preventable ischemic stroke and related to increased cardiovascular morbidity mortality. There a lack data in Turkey on use new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), time therapeutic INR range (TTR) vitamin K antagonist users AF management modality. In this multi-center trial, we aimed analyze, follow evaluate epidemiological non-valvular patients.Four thousand hundred consecutive adult patients from 42 centers with at least attack identified...
It is known that a number of drugs caused acquired long QT syndrome. Although the often use famotidine, syndrome associated with this drug has rarely been reported. We presented case famotidine
Sum maryA 67-year-old woman on long-term chloroquine treatment for rheumatoid arthritis presented with dizziness and syncope.Although her medical history revealed no cardiovascular disease, complete atrioventricular block was detected by electrocardiography.Chloroquine discontinued.Three days later, spontaneously resolved to sinus rhythm.Cardiac complications associated chronic use are uncommon, nevertheless, there have been several reports potential lifethreatening rhythm disturbances...
Aslan et al. Left Atrial Volumes in Coronary Slow FlowObjectives: slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is the or late progression of opaque material to distal vascular structures during angiography patients with normal near-normal coronary arteries.This study aims evaluate left atrial volumes and functions using conventional transthoracic tissue Doppler echocardiographic parameters CSFP. Materials Methods:According criteria determined by Gibson, 50 at least one artery were included as cases, 40...
Objectives: Post-stress left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV volumes have incremental value in predicting cardiac death (CD) patients with coronary artery disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of imaging time after exercise on post-stress LVEF, end-diastolic volume (EDV) end-systolic (ESV) calculated by quantification software program called Quantitative Gated SPECT (QGS-Cedars-Sinai). Materials methods: This study was consisted 36 patient referred Nuclear...
