Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation might be a risk factor for stroke such as chronic fibrillation. We examined the relation between mean platelet volume and paroxysmal to determine effect of on thrombotic state via elevated volume. Mean is marker size, function, activation. Increased reflects active large platelets that release more thromboxane A2 than smaller ones. hypothesized in patients with The study population comprised 103 consecutive who were detected have by 24-h Holter monitoring 87...
Anticoagulation is not justified unless atrial fibrillation (AF) detected in cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients. We sought to explore whether left (LA) remodelling associated with embolic of undetermined source (ESUS).In this prospective study, we evaluated consecutively 186 patients sinus rhythm who presented an acute ischaemic (embolic and non-embolic) sex- age-matched controls. performed continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring capture paroxysmal AF episodes as recommended by the...
Sudden death is common in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiac arrhythmia observed frequently patients with ESRD and thought to be responsible for this high rate of sudden death. This study investigated the prevalence predictors on maintenance dialysis.Ninety-four hemodialysis program were enrolled study. Routine laboratory results noted. Arrhythmia, periods silent ischemia, heart-rate variability analyses obtained from 24-hour Holter monitor recordings. Corrected QT (QTc) dispersion was...
A decline in kidney function after contrast exposure is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality during hospitalization over long-term periods. Several retrospective recent prospective clinical trials have shown that statin therapy might prevent contrast-induced nephropathy patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. In this study, we aimed to assess the effects therapies on renal parameters elective angiography. One hundred sixty angiography were randomized equally...
Eleven patients with rate responsive pacemakers (7 men, 4 women, mean age 41 years a range of 23‐60) were randomly assigned to cross‐over study in order assess their overall exercise capacity and quality‐of‐life (QOL) scores. All the implanted for complete AV block or sick sinus syndrome. The programmed into VVI (VVIR) pacing modes 3‐week periods each mode. At end period, an test was performed QOL evaluated by “Hacettepe Quality‐of‐Life Questionnaire”. exercised longer VVIR mode (mean 10.54...
In acute coronary syndromes (ACS), oxidation and inflammation have very important roles in-vitro studies demonstrated that gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) participates in such oxidative inflammatory reactions. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of baseline serum GGT activity on development major adverse cardiac event (MACE) follow-up patients with ACS care unit (CCU), after 1 6 month periods. included 117 (mean age: 61.2+/-11.3 years, 93 males) hospitalized CCU diagnosis ACS. All had...
Basal septal hypertrophy (BSH), a cause of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, is thought to occur by increased dynamics. The aim the study was evaluate effect pharmacologic stress on LVOT gradients in group hypertensive patients with BSH. Dobutamine used 24 (mean age 56 +/-8 years; 11 women) BSH and 20 normal controls 54 +/-9 7 women). Ejection fraction myocardial mass, basal dimension, diameter were measured 2-dimensional echocardiography. velocities transmitral before at...
Objective: We investigated whether mobile telephones affect the function of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Background: It is well known that electromagnetic fields can medical devices. Methods: The study included 43 patients with ventricular tachycardia and/or fibrillation treated transvenous pectoral ICDs. Testing was done under continuous electrocardiograph monitoring supervision an ICD programmer. Initially, each patient tested during spontaneous rhythm. Then programmed...
Adenosine is widely used for the diagnosis and termination of supraventricular arrhythmias. There are many case reports few series about proarrhythmic potential adenosine. We sought to evaluate adenosine terminate arrhythmias.The records all patients that received tachycardia were reviewed retrospectively those with a continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) recording during administration included study.Our search identified 52 episodes 46 ECG administration. Following administration,...
Though atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia permanently; there not enough data about prevalence, frequency of risk factors, and adequacy anticoagulant therapy. We aimed to investigate prevalence AF, therapy in patients who were admitted our outpatient tertiary cardiology clinic according current guidelines.Patients, Cardiology between January - June 2010 had a history AF included study retrospectively. Patients' demographic findings, clinical classification,...
