Determinants of coronary collateral circulation in patients with coronary artery disease
Zorkun, Cafer; Akkaya, Emre; Zorlu, Ali; Tandogan, Izzet (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2013)Objective: This study aims to identify possible determinants of coronary collaterals in patients with severe coronary artery disease. Methods: The current study has a retrospective cohort design. Seventy four patients with ... -
Dronedarone: A Promising Alternative for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation
Yalta, Kenan; Turgut, Okan Onur; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Yilmaz, Ahmet; Tandogan, Izzet (SPRINGER, 2009)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently encountered chronic arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity. It is generally encountered in the elderly, and will presumably become more prevalent in the future due ... -
The effect of collateral circulation on left ventricular systolic function
Karadas, Filiz; Yalta, Kenan; Turgut, Okan Onur; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Yilmaz, Ahmet; Dogan, Kasim; Tandogan, Izzet (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2007)Background Conflicting reports exist on the influence of coronary collateral circulation on preservation of left ventricular systolic function. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coronary collateral circulation ... -
Effect of Levosimendan in Patients with Severe Systolic Heart Failure and Worsening Renal Function
Zorlu, Ali; Yucel, Hasan; Yontar, Osman Can; Karahan, Oguz; Tandogan, Izzet; Katrancioglu, Nurkay; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)Background: Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing myocardial contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. It was recently shown that levosimendan ... -
Efficacy of levosimendan in patients with chronic heart failure: Does rhythm matter?
Yontar, Osman Can; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Yalta, Kenan; Tandogan, Izzet (AVES YAYINCILIK, 2010)Objective: Leyosimendan is a relatively new inotropic agent. Unlike other inotropic agents, Levosimendan does not increase cellular calcium intake, so that, does not cause intracellular calcium overload and related ... -
Elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure in patients with mild-to-moderate mitral stenosis: a useful predictor of worsening renal functions?
Zorkun, Cafer; Amioglu, Gullu; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Zorlu, Ali; Ekinozu, Ismail; Turgut, Okan Onur; Tandogan, Izzet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2013)Objective: Renal dysfunction commonly accompanies the course of cardiac disorders and strongly associates with increased morbidity and mortality. Elevated central venous pressure is related to worsening renal function in ... -
